ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

New to longboarding! (Brisbane)

So finally I got my first longboard!

She is so pretty!

 

The person who started teaching my to longboard moved back to Melbourne, very soon after he started teaching me.

So now I have no one to teach me! Hopefully I will get to meet up with some awesome people from here, who can give me lots of tips and hints and a whole lot of confidence!

 

My board is The Purple Modra by Goldcoast Longboards.

-The Dart Board
-Dimensions: 44" x 10"
-25" Wheel Base
-Kicktail
-7 Ply Canadian Maple
-Century 7" Reverse Pivot Trucks
-70mm 83a Shred Boot Wheels
-ABEC 7 Bearings With Teflon™
-Printed Grip Tape

What sort of longboarding are you into? There are some fairly regular sessions around st lucia I think.

Hey Jack,

 

I go to QUT too.

 

I am very very very new to longboarding.

So I use my board to commute at the moment.

 

Too scared to try anything else yet, I have no idea what I am doing and don't want to do anything too risky by myself.

 

I can't this weekend, as I will be studying for an exam I have on Monday. (And have a game of soccer to play.)

get a helmet and pads and we'll teach you to slide, then you can tackle any hill!

I have a helmet and wrist guards. Just need new knee and elbow pads, because my little bro borrowed them and left them somewhere :S

Hey guys I live in Kangaroo Point just across from GP QUT! Me and my housemates are constantly riding on that bike path along the river and we're in the city fairly often! I'm pretty new to longboarding as well but I'm keen to try some hills besides that bridge that connects QUT to the other side of brissy :P

I only ever use my board for commuting so I have some really soft (like 70A) wheels so sliding wouldn't really be an option D: but I'm still keen to meet some new riders! I got accepted into the KG campus this year transferring from Griffith :D

If you ever see me around come say hey! I rock a Jet Doppler with some blue sector 9 nineballs :D

I have a pretty gnarly grip design so you guys would be able to spot me around if you ever see me! :D
