Oh, should add that Upper Hutt Skating rink has an open skate session between 3 and 5 on Saturdays, it's free to hire quads with entry ($6 I think), and while they're not super awesome, they're more than enough to familiarise yourself with the movement again.

Strongly reiterating Greg and Plaid here when I say that the crowd *made* the game, such an awesome group of people to watch us the first time - and we're only going to get better... watch the website (www.richtercity.co.nz) for updates.

And who was it that got air? I think it was Tuff Bikkies - she flew at one point, straight on to her face, and LEAPT up and skated off again I swear, it was amazing. My Boy was totally buzzed on the part where she jumped over the corner of the track to take lead jammer. I suspect it was barely legal.
