what's 'real' dh sean?

i'm with fendy about arthurs, you need to be in control there or you'll lose a board over the cliff. good footbraking is a must i reckon.

I think the best place to practice getting up to speed would be chirnside park. You can slowly work your way higher and higher up that hill without worrying about cars.

arthurs seat is okay. you just gotta be confident with footbraking and both toesides and heelside turns otherwise you're fucked. definitely wouldnt recommend it for beginners. mt hwy is the perfect spot to learn.

Dale - Depends on what kinda of set up you have the board on.... Of course turning is a breeze on the killswitch because it's 10'' wide at the front and back.

Oscar - I don't know wut ur talking about. You've nvr been riding there before. It's easy to lose control, go over the cliff, and fall to your death....

callum i aint too keen for real DH this weekend, if you want to learn some DH this weekend i am keen for some lighter runs

Fendy you sound like sean saying he would die doing that run. Callum, you wouldnt die, you would just get righteously mangled.

Callum - Arthur's Seat is not really a good place to start DH. Sean couldn't even ride it. You probably would die going down that run. My killswitch almost went off the edge haha. Do mtn hw tucked the entire way before u even consider attempting Arthur's Seat.

Dale - Evo has been retired. I have it set up with Original S10's right now haha. Killswitch's my dedicated DH board.

Stephen - I'm pretty sure u can do mtn hw. It's a good intermediate run for training tucking stamina and endurance. If you're comfortable with speeds of 50-55kph, that's a good run for you. You can only reach those speeds if you really tuck.
