All Moss’d Out

Posted on July 19, 2012

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.

“The crew at the shop live and breathe skateboarding. We make sure that the stock in the shop is top of the line, and the only way to figure out whats best is to ride it ourselves!”
