yeah, it was good meeting you guys, will have to road trip it back for sure! We're driving to newie at the moment, finding a few nice road runs on the way. There's gotta be some coffs area crew on here, surely!

Dale replied to jay cottrell's discussion 'changing wheels quickly'2 hours ago

yeah, as long as you have your spacers and/or bearings already in the replacement wheels, it shouldn't take long.

Grits commented on Mountain Mick's photo 'chunks 187'4 hours ago

Dude i'd thought i'd seen some full on shit when i broke my leg, but that is one hell of a stitch job. Was this from when the luge hit your foot? I know its a weird question, but from a safety point of view, What sort or luge was it? I hope it's...

Jacko replied to jay cottrell's discussion 'changing wheels quickly'4 hours ago

we can change wheels in 1 minute... its called a skate tool. dudes at the top of the hill at an IGSA race in the semis and the finals get off the shuttle bus and are given the '1 minute warning' till their heat starts and they still have to change...

changing wheels quickly

Years ago ( im kinda embarrassed to say ) i used to roller skate (b4 inline skates existed ) anway,,,, back then i used to do road skating , and my axles had a quick release mechanism on the end to quickly change wheels , the end of the axle had a...

Aych replied to brodie's discussion 'skating before bathurst'13 hours ago

with a step back and a bit of thought that seems pretty fair. Wherever we skate we should all be looking at the impact it has and ensuring it doesn't create any (or too much) adverse publicity...it would be nice to think we are close to not having...

Robbo replied to Jeremy Rodgers's discussion 'EARLY SKATEBOARDS NEW WEBSITE LIVE'13 hours ago

Second that re: profile shot or else they look a bit 2D cartoony. The site look very sweet nice use of flash. On a technical note see if you can change the name of your index page to better reflect the Early name so you can see the branding in the...

For anyone watching this let me confirm that the following words from Jacko are all absolutely true. There will be DH sessions running all around sydney in the month prior to the event. If any DH occurs on the mountain it would be very bad for our...

Oh and goodluck Ash and Leeso, I'll be watching the IGSA rankings for you guys.

Isaac replied to Lance Evans and Josh (13 yrs)'s discussion 'four boards stolen in east brisbane'14 hours ago

Might be worth checking out the local cash converters and that, they probably got bored of the boards after they couldn't kickflip them. I don't know if this is far fetched at all, but the kids at school could of heard of these $$$ consuming items...

Lance Evans and Josh (13 yrs) replied to Lance Evans and Josh (13 yrs)'s discussion 'four boards stolen in east brisbane'15 hours ago

we still got our evos' and the boxes with our gear all intact...same with surf board and boogie board and wet suits etc etc , think they got in and took first things they saw . that damned slong board is the one I got off Leeso for his fund raisin...
