All Moss’d Out

Tucked away quietly on the north shore of Sydney are many epic downhill spots. The Hopkin crew could not let the beautiful Clifton Gardens go un-touched, and after many skate/film sessions at this amazing spot the boys stepped it up and held the first All Moss’d Out race. Race organiser Rob McWhinnie got ‘er done solid and took out the competition in a closely contested final heat. Many had come far and wide to compete for the title, and although there were many upsets in early round to top well-known riders the Hopkin team held it down and swept the podium. Big thanks go out to all those who helped out with marshaling and safety, and to all the skaters who turned wheels on that day

Races are fun but there is a lot of time in the day. Here is a a ‘behind the scenes’ look at what we get up to when we are not skateboarding.

Events: 2012 Mt Keira Downhill Challenge

The 1st annual Mt. Keira Downhill Challenge was a resounding success. Despite the patchy weather conditions, everyone had a great time getting worked by mother nature. By the semi-finals the road was dry, but it started pouring during the finals and that’s how Alex Tongue took home the gold.

Once Upon a Time in Bro Town

“The longboarding scene in New Zealand has caught up with the times and the scene over there is booming. With amazing hills and beautiful terrain all over the country it is turning out to really be the adventure zone, now with downhill skateboarding added to the list of things to do there. Hopkin skate got behind the annual Wellington Wind Turbine race which has now hit legit status by sponsoring the event and sending over some of the boys (and girl!) to teach New Zealand a little thing or two about racing, but not before the team were to sample some of Wellington’s finest skate spots!”
