Sydney City Bomb Squad

seems like a good idea alex. I'm assuming that the central bus station is out the front of Central train station, is that right?

The meeting place is Railway Square, which is that little triangle between George St and Lee St near where the Devonshire Tunnel comes out:

ahhh ok, thanks Bugs

Yo just checking this shindiggery is still on this Thursday, me and a friend might be coming down hopefully would be the first time but keen as beans for it!

@zeb i'll be there. I've only been twice but seems to be 15+ people at least each week :) 

:O Aww saaaaweeeeet! Ahah gunna be a good skate to start off the school holidays then ^_^ 

Now that the school holidays have started you can expect a bigger crowd than the usual turn up, which also means the runs will be a bit more chill.

Are there any good freeride hills?

Nope, we only skate flat and uphill.

true

Yeah it really is only uphill and like 10 minutes of flat, it's how everyone likes it.

Yerpp, people will be there

Anyone heading back on the train going near Penrith or Emu Plains? I'm not too keen catching that by myself cause im a scardy cat. :C

Central Bus bay outside of the Central trainstation is where everyone meets I actually don't know how to exactly describe it though sorry, just get around there 15 minutes early and skate around the station and look for other boarders I guess.

weather forcast is 95% chance of rain though. Lame.

Too true, I wanted to hit up pumpy before Tuesday too looks asif it'll be too wet 

I've got a few pics up from mt. Keira on Tumblr - http://ryanwaring.tumblr.com/

I'm not so clued in on who all the riders are so if anyone know's their names, then let me know so I can put it in the caption. :) 

Ryan's updated the SCBS photo album with more shots- good stuff https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150648085727194.387612....

Hey guys how long do you normal go for? I know I can leave anytime but just wondering if it's worth shredding then go to a mates partayy in  the city.

average end time 930pm

Some of us regularly do up to midnight runs. 

Mad, can't do that this week but hope to make it and get sideways in a dark alleyway

Asking again, is there anyone that lives near Penrith or somewhere closish cause I don't wanna be lone ranger on the train

Ow.

Dave, bummer about your skin donation to the road, hope you heal up soon. Other than that i picked up someone's elbow pad (187 killerpads). I'll bring it next Thursday. Just lemme know who it's for.

Hey Dave you alright? Passed you while you were down, sorry if you would have benefited from me stopping to help out

All ok, just not happy to shed the exact same patch of skin two days in a row. My arm is on fire.

Dave I'm feeling your pain.after like 3-4 years of not skating I've jumped back on it and getting back into it.

Managed to come off on thursday practicing pendys, got my left forarm and right knee, then this arvo came off again going downhill and landed on my chest and arms again, redid my left and got a fresh one on my right haha.

3 weeks back into  after 3-4 years and already donating plenty of skin,

Anyone skate around hills area? north rocks, castle hill area?

Don't have anyone to skate with...

Anyone bringing T-shirts this week? Keen to buy one

also, rough Grady, good to see you getting back into it, what put you out for so long? 

Nice dude! All my mates are so surprised how much I got into it but I just love it so much. Yeah pintails aren't great for downhill but they're allright if you're set up properly, they can be a bitch to slide though. You have trucks and wheels though so if you wanna grab a freeride/DH deck it shouldn't cost that much by itself (especially second hand).

can i just turn up oneday and longboard with the squad?

How experienced should you be before rocking up? Like any particular skills you should know well that are neccessary?

Not colliding with a bus or taxi and dying is one particular skill. Slightly related to this are the ability to stay on your board, control your speed and emergency stop if necessary. If you can't, don't turn up until you can.

More to the point is being able to shutdown slide essential. I can do handsdown 180's but they don't really drop speed too much. I can footbrake from about 20km/h, maybe a little more and can carve, so it depends how fast you guys normally go and how steep the runs are? And I'm fine to stay on the board and not hit anything.

Bro my only real shutdown is a hands down toeside, had to emergency use it tonight haha, practice not going 180 and going a bit faster and you should be good :)

OR you can just footbrake. A lot. You'll be fine. Footbrake for life etc, etc...

You can always just bail if you feel that it's a bit too much.

! guys that was mad fun for my first time! Thanks... even though i smashed my ankle :( but it WILL be good for next week! zoo keen. that was awesome! 
Cheers Dill (apex 40 guy) :P

I feel your stoke

hay  guys

Im moving up to sydney next month and would realy like to sesh it up some time with you guys. Iv never been yet so would also like advice on places I should be looking at to live. Not just for skating but places that are close to public transport and simply recommended

cheers

Asking for the best place to live is like asking the best wheels to skate... Do you like to be in the city? Suburban? Close to the beach? Do you prefer trains or buses? Do you like your trees and parks? Will you have a job/school/uni/whatev which you would like to easily travel to?

And then some suburbs are plain out more expensive than other ones. So your budget and house size will also factor in.

hey guys could you check out the event that im trying to organise for a school project thing

http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events/pump-station-or-west-head...

Hoping this Thursday we will know where everyone is ahahha :)

Alex is right but we all know the best wheels to skate are Coogee.

With my skill set Id say close to the city as my job will most likely be there.

Public transport in general dont matter, be skating if I can.

The lest expensive place's, its just me so il be going into a shared place id say.
