CONS Project Melbourne

Overview

It's time to live out all your Tony Hawk Pro Skater dreams from 1998. Converse Australia — those perennial titans of street cred — are bringing you a bunch of free skate workshops and assorted cool dude-ery. Over the course of two weekends, Converse are giving you the chance to learn off experts like Kenny Anderson, Nick Trapasso, Mike Anderson, and Andrew Brophy for the ever-convenient price of free.

From 12-5pm on Saturday, June 8 you can get some hands-on experience making ramps and other handy skate obstacles out of wood, then follow it up the next day with a crash course in concrete. The following weekend will be one for the show-offs. From 12-5pm on Saturday, June 14, Andrew Peters and Bryce Golder will be leading a course on skate photography. Hot tip: anything shot with a fish eye lens is automatically cool. If that's not enough, skate video producer Su Young Choi will be leading a videography workshop the very next day.

All the workshops are free of charge, but get in quick. Once the sk8r bois of Brunswick and Fitzroy get wind of this, places won't last long.
