[Culture] Cultivate Community Multicultural Street Festival

Headed into town today, expecting nothing unusual. Until I heard some music booming out of the area at the Civic Offices. I was a bit deterred from all the skater boyz but the music was good, and I wanted to see what was going on. Apparently it was the Cultivate Community event today. And there was what seems to be half-pipes (although I thought otherwise and gave out to Mick.. whoops). And skaters of all ages were freestyling, although a bit apprehensive (much better than the grufties at Central Bank, or the 20 odd year old trying to skate at our appartment complex each eveing). There was one guy who stood out from the rest, and did some better (not awesome) tricks. And a guy on a bmx. There was some hip-hop folks (incl. kids) in the back doing their thang. Not too shabby. And the music (what drew me there in the first place) was pretty damn good.

Here are some vids:
