Sydney Downhill Madness
Sydney downhill does not exist. No one skates down mountain roads. Everyone here sticks to the suburbs and local bombs. There are no good downhill runs in sydney. Everything is flat.
Please do not ask where to go skateboarding, because we dont know. We dont actually skate in sydney, we all ride scooters...

Right on what a sick day. Turns out Hawke's Hairpins was a sick run, was not as gnarly or fast as we thought it would be but the corners are a lot more manageable than expected! Crew was ripping to say the least... Also had a look at Megalong Valley, that place is epic... butter smooth and fast through slight sweeping corners. Fair bit out of the way but worth the drive...
Monday's session is on! Meeting at the Pie In The Sky at 9.30am... This is kind of a secret location but still very obvious, we will not post directions here, so call me on 0403566666 to find out where the session is...

Hey guys, I'm new to the site/community.
Name's Paul, I'm an up and coming photog - futurekillimagery.com (work in progress)
Just made the big move from the west coast to the big smoke.
Basically I'm looking for any downhill guys to ride with and to be in some photos I want to take for my next portfolio.
I figured this would be the best way to catch some interest.
I used to be involved with and shoot with the local freebord crew back in Perth and had recently started riding with some longboard types before i moved state.
Only been in town for 2 weeks, but I drove over (loooong drive!) and have pretty flexible work hours so am free regularly for rides.
Ideally I want to try and attempt some follow cam style shots where I personally follow on my inline board (dirtsurfer) taking photos at a fairly close proximity, focusing on speed and stuff.
I know there is some animosity towards hybrids, but I'm really interested in anything downhill and have tried and tested this method back home at speeds of around 70kph so it's something I want to work on more.
So yeah, hope to meet some new faces and shred some hills in the future.
feel free to check out my stuff and let me know what you think. It's not very action sports oriented at the moment, but i hope to change that.
cheers

Yo dudes what a day yesterday, some of the best and tightest riding i have seen in the NSW downhill scene yet! Far out that was seriously a day to remember and a hill to hit again and again! Dudes were ripping in race-packs the whole way down the hill, mega draft train sessions and side-by side bumping through corners, was epic.
So it seems there might be a Kierra session on this thursday (or friday. not sure). Whoever is keen post up and lets get it happening, will be my last session before i go away and i got a new camera to try out.
Jason i wanna see the footage from yesterday, post that shit up!

Yeah, another great session, more fun than expected and a good hill for the visiting riders too.
Weather's looking iffy for thursday/friday, if they don't work out I'd be up for a gong session on sunday.

Ben I'll give ya a program to cut the video down to size.
Got home, took 25mins to get from car to front door, arrived to house in blackout, lay on floor in darkness for 1.5 hrs cause I couldn't walk or move. Jess got home took me to the hospital to get Xrays, verdict: Bruised cheek and bruised ego, no broken bones advised not to skate for 1-3 weeks
