darjak diaries - entry #2


kick it off with a BANG!...

its saturday, the music's pumping, the energy level's high and excitement fills the air. it's the day that youth street kicks off in darwin nt for the first time ever! not sure of how many crew ( a cool "tag" we give the youth) to expect having been able to do only three days of promo prior, we await anxiously.

with near 23 youth street staff, thanks to the reef to outback back base in darwin and current DTS that's running we make an unstoppable force. crew start to arrive and we see 9 come in total, in the mix we had a few sport fanatics along with a skater and a few musos. this was of course GREAT considering those are the three teams we are running for this youth street connect.

because it was the first day of youth street in darwin we wanted to kick it off with a BANG! so we decided to have what we call a "together factor". which basically brings all the crew together for a few face melting hours of extravagant fun! we decided to run the first ever "battle of the gladiators" to test one's skill, accuracy and stamina.

needless to say friends, this day went OFF! we had crew raving about the day , the staff, the games, the snags (cooked by yours truly) and set on bringing ALL their friends next week. it was amazing to see the youth get right into it, there was no room for passivity or boredom this week that's for sure!
