I know from experience how stressfull it can be behind the timer etc and I appreciate your efforts. A HUGE shout out to our NACCOS brother (who lives in Canberra) Dave Miller (and Courtney and Ben) for the amazing kindness and hospitality in opening his home to a group of smelly destitute skateboarders from the coast. Dave you are a dead set legend and NACCOS are down for "Miller Time" all the time!! Had a great time Wiggling cones, grinding coping, and carving ditches, cant wait to do it again. Until then, I will answer to the following approved names....Champ, Aussie Champ, Australian Champion, Champion skateboarder, Slalom Champion and some other names I will think up soon.
