Parks, Pies, and Powerade

Auckland, or New Zealand in general, is covered in skateparks. I would even say that we have the most skateparks per capita in the world. It seems every local council wants to put these things in so kids can do something instead of smoking weed and doing graffiti and engaging in deliquent behaviour or whatever the fuck it is that 14 year olds do these days. Ironically, since we're saturated with skateparks, they rarely get used, and often provide the perfect place to participate in such unsavourary activities.
We had this bright idea that we would try to skate as many as possible in one day. Which sounds easy but it's really not. Car legs, travel time, having the po's fuck with you and whatever else seems to take up most of the day. I think we got in 9 parks by the end of the day, but really, we only scratched the surface. We filmed at like... 7 of them, I think. Quality is very average but don't blame me, I didn't fuck with it.
Starring Charlie Roux, Daniel Lucas, Sam "Luggage" Rynbeck, Self Conscious Chris, and Oxford's own Todd Henry.

if by recovering from a broken leg you mean rolling ciggies and drinking beers and having sexual relations with fat and/or ugly chicks and not skating then yes, he is recovering from a broken leg.
