Hey guys. My friend lost one of my board at one of Melbourne Central's toilets. He accidentally forgot it there and someone took it. It's not at lost and found. Please help keep an eye out for it. It's a regular double kicker with blue grip tape, imitation randal 180 trucks, and bluish green fu manchu wheels. I'm not too upset about it missing but my friend's pretty distraught bout losing it. Cheers.

For those interested in a LDS(long distance skating) a few of us are keen on doing some serious distance skating. This discussion is being set up to be seperate from the main thread for distance stuff e.g training, tech., skates and also for those who fain interest in a skatetrek to Sydney (tba). This is more than your average commuting skate.

So alot of new people have been joining up and here's some of the essentials i think you should know before going out to skate.<br />
<br />
<u><b>1. Helmets</b></u><br />
<br />
It's so important to have a helmet! If you can splurge a few hundred on gear you can spare 60dollars on a protec. We've had guys crash their heads even going at cruising speeds so it can happen to anyone at any speed.<br />
<br />
<b><u>2. Slide gloves and pads</u></b><br />

<br />
<b><u>2. Slide gloves and pads</u></b><br />
<br />
Slide gloves are easy to make. <a href="http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/forum/skateboard-sliding/42925-definitive-slide-gloves-thread.html" target="_blank">Instructions</a>. They help prevent injuries to your hands and wrist when you fall. And also let you bust out some pretty awesome slides! Knee and elbow pads are good as well especially when you're starting out.<br />
<br />
<b><u>3. Footbraking</u></b><br />
<br />
I highly recommend learning to footbrake before anything else. Jumping off your board everytime you need to stop is just not practical! start off at slow speeds and put your back foot down to slow down. i find it helps with balance if you place your braking foot to the side of your board. Keep practicing and you'll be a footbraking masta!<br />
<br />
<b><u>4. Slides</u></b><br />
<br />
Slides are fun and also practical. Standup slides, pendys etc...Start off with learning the coleman. it's a pretty easy to learn and it's an effective shut down slide to stop fast.<br />

<br />
<b><u>5. Skating etiquette</u></b><br />
<br />
Don't be a dick on the road. Watch out for cars and pedestrians. We seem to have the worst luck with cops in Melbourne and a few good spots have been ruined so be friendly to the locals and cops and you'll be fine. Please don't ruin our spots! Melbourne is flat enough as it is :(<br />
<br />
<b><u>6. Shops</u></b><br />
<br />
We don't have a lot of shops that stock longboard gear but here are a few: Macs Waterski and Hemleys on Brunswick st have some completes and parts as well. Fast times in the city has a good range of protec helmets and pads.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, there's boardshop.com.au, hopkin and cr8ive sk8! they have an awesome selection at good prices!<br />
<br />
Finally just go out and have fun! It's always better when you skate with a regular crew you learn so much and we're a bunch of friendly guys (and girl)! Slalom, downhill, cruising, carparks, sliding, ditch whatever...<br />

Team melburn is very fortunate.<br />
Chick Ching is a great skater and shows corage and determination that I for one realy admire.<br />
That $1000 could be yours Ching. "Chick Ching"<br />
I think Ching is a Great Vic female longboard ambassodor and that's why we need a Ching fan club.
