NZ Vert Champs 2023 - February 25, 2023 - Visit Shredcityskates.com (Store is NZ only).

It’s my birthday on the 8th and I’ll release this early and go blading if I want to. Filmed from mid April to end of May, in-between work, weather, and day to day life. On the solo missions. Here’s to 20+ years of blading and hopefully till the end of my days! Stay rad and keep shredding. - Kelvin Wong (Shred City Skates).

Kelvin Wong - Cave Crew Shodcast

The man behind Shredcityskates.com, NZ’s only skateshop dedicated to all things rollerblading & rollerskating is our fifth guest on the shodcast. Kelvin has done so much for the sport in recent years sponsoring events and bringing product to our shores that was unattainable for most before he was around all the while bringing the much needed hype to the NZ skating scene.

Kelvin also has some long history in the sport and we are interested in shedding some light on his skating origin story. We cant forget he’s a killer on skates as well and can spin both ways and can fakie 540 everything.

Previously: Cave Crew Shodcast with Slug Lord A.K.A Ryan Roulston (New Zealand, 2022).

Our guest on the Cave Crew Shodcast is the infamous Sluglord, one of finest exports from Wainuiomata (New Zealand). He’s one of the few sponsored skaters in this country with a progressive style and uniquely savvy approach to content creation and use of Instagram. Weve been a fan of his skating for a while so were super happy to chat to him and find out more about the man behind the long hair.

Check some edits of Sludglord - PLAY: WOW.vod Street Section | WELLY TAPES VOD. More podcasts with the Cave Crew on Youtube.

Cave Crew NZ Rolling Shodcast: “It isn’t a podcast as we aren’t pro enough to be a podcast. Interviewing NZ Rollerbladers a Joss & Niam Kerr-Bell production”.

Mickey is an OG and after a long hiatus came back and skated the shit out of the rails at Melville skatepark at the Richard Rowland Memorial OG Comp walking away with the win in the OG division. Found this rad song by the band Fuzz that suits Mickey’s style of skating. - Niam Kerr-Bell.

Gib is a blader down here in New Zealand that has been holding it down for years. Skates both street and park like its nothing with his own unique style and trick selection. Filmed by all the homies with a special TVW clip in there and shoutout to gib’s sponsor Shred City Skates. Visit Shredcityskates.com.
