about

Sturt Creek is an all time classic skate spot in Adelaide, that has been shredded at least since the early 70s. This song is about that.

lyrics

Going where the concrete banks are steep - “Sturt Creek”
With old school graph & cheesegrater concrete - “Sturt Creek”
Jumped the fence & no-one even cared - “Sturt Creek”
Rolled right in where no-one even dared - “Sturt Creek”

Bomb the wall, time to rip
Powerslide, up to the lip
Cross the flat, gunna bust my shit
On a Hot Spot skateboard trip

Skated here ever since I was a kid - “Sturt Creek”
Saw Wilbut do a caveman off the bridge - “Sturt Creek”
Dont let your board fall down into the slime - “Sturt Creek”
Same thing’ll happen to yours what happened to mine - “Sturt Creek”

Washed away, wet my deck
Bearings trashed, what the heck
Gunna' see John for another set
Thats just what you get

Sturt ....Creek.....Sturt....Creek....


My life’s going down the drain
Been skating like a lad insane
Aint sayin’ that my life is bad
Just sayin’ skating drains is RAD!

Sturt ....Creek.....Sturt....Creek....

I am the explorer, the hunter of terrain
When Ive found what I’m looking for, it’s an empty drain.
