Recently Acid celebrated it’s 3rd birthday and the official opening of the new workshop/skate ramp with a party and a lot of skating.

Unfortunately I caught the plague and spent most of the party trying not to die so I didn’t get to do a lot of skating myself, but I catch some of the action.



Things get triply in the Acid shed.

Pre-Party Divi runs.

The Acid workshop is a short drive from The Divi, one of the Waikato’s premium downhill tuns. So of course everyone had to get some runs in before the party started.



Looking Through The Trees

Acid riders Crunchie and Troy rounding the last corners with Devon and Ryan and some onlookers.

Gloomy Raglan Surf

Some pretty good surf spots not too far away either.

Fresh Acid

A rack full of freshly finished Acid boards greets you as you enter the shed.

Wall Hangers

Ant’s collection of boards with rad shapes and dope graphics on the wall beside the ramp.



A Light in The Dark

It’s dark and the party has started. Ryan plays in the ramp while Danny and Clive exchange lies. The Acid press has transformed into the Acid bar.



Tombstone Rock

Sometime in the night the menacing tombstone extension was brought out.

Guided Tour

The day after the party had I recovered a bit and Ant took me on a tour of the workshop.

In need of a Sweep

Ant sorts through the templates in the cutting bay while a Fallout awaits it’s final touches.

The Boss-Man Himself Lethered Up And Doing Runs

It was a great weekend and I had a good time despite illness.

Big thanks to Antony Leggett for your wonderful hospitality and all of the work you do for the skateboarding community.

I hope to be back soon.
