Parents urge skatepark users to wear helmets after son's fatal BMX accident

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

In North Shore teenager Kirill Koninin’s bedroom is a stack of empty shoe boxes.

In North Shore teenager Kirill Koninin’s bedroom is a stack of empty shoe boxes.

The 17-year-old BMX rider and skateboarder would wear through his shoes “like fire”, father Vladimir Koninin​ said, following Kirill’s death on Christmas Eve.

On December 23, Kirill fell from his bike at a skatepark in Albany, suffering a head injury. Doctors at Auckland City Hospital later told Vladimir and mother Oxana Koninina​ that their son’s brain surgery had been unsuccessful, and the heartbreaking decision was made to turn off his life support the next day.

The family are hoping to dedicate a bench to Kirill at the park, in an effort to persuade others to wear helmets.

We’ve been dreaming of relaxing at this colourful retro Kāpiti bach which features in our January issue. It’s the perfect sanctuary for its Wellington owners, who find themselves unwinding as soon as they walk through its front gate. Where's your favourite place to unwind over the summer?

Auckland water restrictions

Alan from Birkdale

Interesting walking Shepherds Park tonight at 9pm as the sprinklers were working on the lower field. What got me was the individual sprinklers were not rotating just stuck in one position and partially spraying as though they had low pressure. Only one was rotating.

Interesting walking Shepherds Park tonight at 9pm as the sprinklers were working on the lower field. What got me was the individual sprinklers were not rotating just stuck in one position and partially spraying as though they had low pressure. Only one was rotating.
Makes you wonder in the age of water restrictions as to whether anybody actually checks and maintains the equipment.
