wait there's a scene in Malaysia?

i think Philippines has the biggest longboarding scene in asia, they've already had a few events there.

I wouldn't say there's a huge scene in Malaysia, as the only DH scene has been me and the few guys that I've taught to street luge. Right now we're looking on banking on the scene in the Philippines to help the rest of us Asians get to that level where we have plenty of riders.

i've been talking with Carlos http://whiskeyhill.multiply.com/ and Nicole about getting boards and safety gear over there and sponsoring Nicole she won the last downhill race, still very raw not many in leathers yet. A good start in getting downhill and longboarding into to Asia potentially a huge force if we can help get it going. Shanghai has the biggest skatepark in the world so the momentums gathering.
