NIXEN OSBORNE DROP IN PHOTO AND COMMENTARY BY WADE MCLAUGHLIN Nixen and I had been staying at Nige Cameron’s place in Sydney city for a week, and we had this brand new spot staring us in the face every day. We looked at it a bunch of times, but Man Cub, with his paw on the mend from a pretty heavy dislocation a few weeks prior, had decided that trying it was not going to happen. Obviously, he was hesitant because of the imminent ploughing into the ground that could happen on this thing. I was only in town for one more week, and Nixen is not one to let an opportunity slip. Eventually, he started working his way up, dropping it higher each time as we gave him the…

SKATEBOARDING IN NZ I grew up in a little town called Pukekohe, which is about 40 minutes south of Auckland. It’s out in the country – a real small town with about 10,000 people. In 1990, this kid from Auckland moved to my school and he had a Tony Hawk ‘Claw’ board. I remember he did a boardslide on a piece of wood on the ground and I was stoked on it. Then I got a board and went skating with him heaps. We would take the bus to Auckland and skate this indoor skatepark called Graffiti Junction, and we’d skate Aotea Square and go to Cheapskates. I’ve been skating ever since. STARTING TO SHOOT I didn’t shoot photos until after I’d been skating for a long time. I went…

When somebody has already landed a trick three times, it can be difficult to ask them for a fourth – particularly when it involves kickflipping into a less-than-chill Hubba. After a couple of lands that Rob wasn’t thrilled with, the third make proved to be the charm. I had a photo I was pretty stoked on, but just as we’d finished packing up and got ready to retreat for the night, I noticed the sunset was starting to put on a show. I had to drag Rob back to the spot and sternly convince him to go for another, knowing the fleeting colours would only last a moment. He wasn’t too pleased with me at first, but within a couple of minutes he’d nailed it again, just in time to…
