'Left a scooter outside a dairy': A decade on from 'nek minnit' fame
A skateboard park, a broken scooter, and not a dairy to be seen – this was the scene when Kiwi history was made.
Filmmaker Colin Evans was filming skateboarders at the local skateboard park at Fairfield in Dunedin when he captured the moment that catapulted Levi Hawken to stardom.
“Levi is a funny guy,” Evans says. “He kind of just spat it out, and I was like, ‘no way, bro’. I had no idea it was going to go viral.”
If you haven’t guessed by now, that was the moment Hawken was filmed saying: “Left my scooter outside the dairy, nek minnit...”
Various clips of Hawken’s catchphrase were uploaded to the Internet, and they have been viewed millions of times since the first one was published on YouTube, without Hawken’s or Evans’ permission, in September 2011.
