My family Bill, Jayne and Bryce Skinner moved to Whitianga in 1988/89 and took over the Dairy that was on Monk Street. My parents still live in town having had varied jobs after selling the dairy including bus driving, running the hotel and others. My brother Bryce also lived in Whitianga for a few years before joining the army and eventually moving back to Auckland.
Despite having a myriad mixed feelings about education, I eventually became a high school teacher of accounting, economics, and any other subject they didn’t have a teacher for. I remember spending nights at my maths teacher colleague Bill’s house learning the year 11 maths for the next day’s lesson and going to class hoping like hell the bright students wouldn’t ask me questions I couldn’t answer. Parent teacher nights were interesting, with some parents blaming me for their little Johnny’s bad exam results. In very polite language I would tell them that their little darling was in fact a lazy little sod, or words to that effect. One frustrated father, who was a friend of the principal, threatened to try to get me fired over his son’s poor exam results.
This trick is called Shuv Tailgrab Shuv, and it is a great example of creativity because I have never seen anyone else trying it. The Shuv Tailgrab Shuv is one of my most recent tricks. I would give it a 6/10 difficulty, mainly because of its uniqueness and the fact that first, the board spins a 180 under your feet, then you grab the board, and then spin it the other 180. I find the trick a little bit challenging, but that adds to the fun!
Now more than ever sustainability, or the lack thereof, is an issue at the forefront of many of our minds. It is the issue that plagues the modern world as it affects every living being on our planet from us humans down to the plankton in our oceans. As humans, we have recently come to realise that the responsibility of the health of life on earth now relies on us and our sustainability
