So sick guys i thought i would start a group for Willunga Hill because after last week, when we hit it with Nick and Dani, I just want to keep hitting it with more than three dudes, because it makes it so much more fun. So if you guys are ever keen to come hit the hill anytime, send me a message and i will see what i can organise. Here is my mo fo no. 0413616370

I have been had Leigh come off in fronnt of me on a left hander and hit him and thanks to my leathers I just felt really sick and slightly concussed instead of tearing my ass open. I have had Nick and Bow in a train come off infront of me and have bounced down the rad at 70 to 80 K's and was able to spring back up and jump back on the board. I have approached Leigh to fast from behind and turned sharply at the last minute falling off my bard sideways and again bouncing and rolling down the road at 70 to 80 ks and again was able to get up and skate the rest of the run no worries. Dont under estimate leathers! GET THEM!

Ok, to clarify. Kevin Rudd offered a money package of $950 to all Australians who earn under the $100,000 P/A mark (thats us). The opposition then contested this offer. If the opposition contests a decision the vote falls into the hands of the minor parties like the greens, family first and one nation. It came down to one single vote to be made by a man whos name escapes me but I am hugely in love with in a purely platonic way. He told old Ruddy that if he was able to obtain a $9million grant from the government to go towards the Murray river then he would vote yes for the stimuless package. Kevin Rudd, dog bless him agreed but the package was brought down to $900 for us not $950 (which is a sacrafice I am happy to live with). So the result is that all of us poor plebs who earn under $100,000 per annum and have completed our 2007 to 2008 tax returns by the end of this month (I think, double check that) will recieve $900 in our accounts. If you have not completed your 07 to 08 tax return..... no leathers for you!

Or if a car cuts a corner and you swerve to miss it but then eat bitumen. Or if you come up behind a slow car that you can't overtake and kook up your footbrake (like me haha)

yes i agree with you all cant wait to get my leathers so i will be able to hit hill so much harder. But i was saying you can ride decent hills with out leather just make sure you know the hill and your confident enough to bomb it.

you come off without at least a decent leather jacket at 80, not only will you not be skating for a month or two but you'll need to pay for the skin graphs.
i've come off at 70 and its impossible to keep your chest up off the ground at that sort of speed let alone 80. most high speed stacks tend to result in a superman type slide, starting on the hips/side then onto the chest/front.
you may not need to own a DH board to bomb a big hill, but you do need leathers to survive a high speed fall and be able to skate on painlessly.
you might feel super confident at the moment with the little protection you wear Dougie, but things will be very different after enduring serious burns. its definitely something i'd rather not have to think about when flying down a hill as fast as i can. like duff said, the confidence booster aspect when you wear them makes you go so much harder.
