heading for the hills. fast runs, zig zag, whatever the weather lets us do. 0419 879 852 if you want to meet up. try calling,but i'l prolly be skating and miss your call, so txt. chicken catchya.

the city n stackers were good tonight... pity you fools couldnt make it :P
hopefully the weather is good Sunday for Ziggy-zaggies

@Cam -yeah man, so cant wait to skate Williams to Lascelles n see that awesome view again

we had massive bomb sesh at mills east and canning mills east, epic runs in the dark, was epic fun, needa get more crew with the daylight next time :)

so in for it next time man .

man this weather would be crazy for sliding

go sliding then

up for that.

@dan- your slides were mad last nite ay.

lol im sitting on the couch at home with all my gear on waiting for it to rain so i can try and bring my slides back haha.

hope we get some crew down for zigzags tomorrow and the weather is good. :)

agreed.

if weather no good then there's always Tues, Thurs, Fri or next Sun (see below)

*** Tuesday - COP Jam! ***
(no, not da poh-leese.... City Of Perth)
all welcome for street skating, slide sesh, stackers, olley-the-bum sesh
*** early birds meet - 8pm Cnr Hay and William / Wesley Arcade ***
*** then another meet - 9:15pm at Cnr Pier and St Georges ***
my number if you dont have it 0431 833 148

Sorry to those of you who I know can't do Tuesdays... we'll just have to have a COP Jam Thursday as well?!

As for Sundays we can leave for outta burbs like Gooseberry Hill, Kala, Mundaring, Welshpool, Coogee, Scarbs, Wembley, Floreat etc

pretty evenly spaced out I think, plus - regular seshing I think is a good idea to keep the stoke up, share tricks/learn more etc.

what you all reckon?

@Cam -dude, last nite was mad, full stop! but yeh cheers man.. i been studying/workin on that shit.. absolutely rips into your upper body aye.. good workout :-)

will have to do some more Friday night seshing.. hopefully next time the malls aren't as slippery ha ha.. sick of doing 180 bumplants... oh yeah.. lol at your buttslides man.. cant wait til next sesh!

i'm hitting up kalas today for those who are still keen. :D

@ dan sounds good mate and i wana come but can't make tuesdays, i'll let you know closer to the date if i can come. :D

Dan great idea!
not in for this week but hopefully next
regular seshs are defs the way to go to get decent turnouts i reckon!

hey guys, pretty new to longboarding, used to skate for a while when i was in primary school, so pretty comfortable on the board. bought a longboard a couple of weeks ago off some kid who didnt ride it and it was pretty much brand new so ive been messin around on that havin a great time...
keen to meet up with some of you guys for shred an chill, might make it down to one of COp jams freedom dan was talking about, hope to see you guys around!
mitch

@MitchP -hey man, welcome

tomorrow night (Tuesday) is definately on (unless some King Kong storm hits)
looks like it's the last good day to skate this week going by the weather forecast

I can't make tonight :( ah well next time

Ill makeup one of those spots.

Skating in from Mt Lawley shortly, call if you headed through.
0411 838 600

Well, that was fun.
Thanks to everyone who came.

agreed. but damn i need to work on my fitness, my legs are hurting this morning

Found a pool in mt lawley/highgate!
its got lotsss of crap in it, anyone up for some cleanup?
sounds like the COPjam was good, im keen for next tuesday

mt lawley pool? sick, whats it like? im down to help with my one functional arm.

ah yeh its a pretty big job about half filled with chairs and that sorta thing but i've got a few people willing to commit it
its on an abandoned block too so it'll be around a while hopefully

damnnn im down for that shit for sure!!

0423496717.. hit me up sometime

Anyone got some Randal 180s I can buy? Just ordered a real deck so I can bomb with the crew!

yeah, last night was sweet.. thanks again guys.
pity you guys couldnt stay longer.. it got even better as us others hit the longer and faster stackers, even skated a pedestrian ramp with poles you can slalom [or try to] hehe.. good times. will have to shred only the best of em next time so i would strongly recommend practising some foot-braking, slides and/or rolling faster in general ;-) mmm.. speed

FYI; News on 'OL FAITHFUL' [10-storey between 78's and Fast Eddies with the "i'll break your fucking neck" security guard] - it's actually quite boring compared to all the other stackers.. but anyway; another confrontation with security.. same place.. same security guard. I think he's trying to get more shifts now to stop us lol.. good for him. Stoked Lachy got his board back though after the security guard grabbed it.. hehe good shit man :-D

weather's lookin good SATURDAY and god knows how much longer for...
@Tash -keen to show us where we can start raking? then maybe a Mt Lawley sesh? [in the arvo preferably cos I'm a muso when it comes to sleep] :-)

this SUNDAY weather is supposed to be good?
ZigZagsssssss?!
and perhaps Mundaring in the late arvo/early evening?

@Cam/Connor -sup 'daring crew?!

@tash. i'm in, with bells on. just don't tell tooo many people about it, keep it sacred:) but yeah, 0419879852, let me know when ur thinking of starting n i'm there.
also, 2moro night(thursday night) thinking of hitting treetop in baldivis from about 8 onwards, raining or not. its hell fun in the dry, even more funner in the wet. but i'm at work all day so send me a txt on the above number n let me know if ur keen.

@tash. ill help with cleaning that pool for sure. i live in that area so anytime.

@Dan - Send us an sms when/if you hit MtLawley. Ill show you some of my fave hills and runs :)

Must say, the first stacker wasn't really pushing my adrenalin buttons :). But Ill come next week/the week after and check out the faster ones.

Here's another hill for people to check out.

Google Maps:
35 Cresswell Rd, Dianella WA 6059
Link:

Just beware the round about at the bottom. I think i could be a really good hill to practice slides and speed checks.

I'm thinking of heading to the pool friday and sat next week
Dan and anyone else up for pool then move on to hills and stuff later in the arvo on the Saturday?

I''d be up for zig zags on sunday if it happens this time ha :P

i'm keen to help with the pool. just let me know when and where. :)

dan zigzags sounds good and mundaring as well. just keep me posted.

0404 244 104

@dan. daring crew? and friday night was hetic in the city ay was hell good.

damn, i was skating applecross earlier and one of my rear bearings blew out lol.. guess they're not exactly the best ones for sliding? LAYBEC 7's aka Layback ABEC 7's. any advice would be muchly appreciated

@craig -'divis sounds sweet man.. hopefully we can have a big organised meet down there sometime.

@Shannon -sweet man :) cant wait for another slide prac sesh

@Tash -i agree w/ craig, keep it sacred yo!
next saturday sounds orite.. [after lunch though] :D
hope the weathers good!

@ed -hehe.. dude.. if it aint raining or blowing like a mofo then its on like Donkey Kong :P

@Dave E -stay tuned!

@Connor -word to that shit! (as in Mun-daring) geez, get with the radness yo :P


***this Sunday - Zig Zags!***
meet at 3:00pm on Lascelles Parade (off Williams) - theres a couple look-out/parking areas along the left-hand-side of the road heading towards the Zig Zag (probably the best place to meet) then sort from there.
Bring your car if you can so we can take turns in giving lifts back up to the top!
Also, bringing helmet and pads is always a good idea.
Good times to be had (subject to weather)
Who's down?

also a possibility of heading onto Mundaring if theres enough keen peeps up for a bit more fun with an early night sesh if Cam and Connor are free to take us round? Sup guys?! if you're keen and can't get a lift to ZigZags meet me in the city and I'll give you a lift, k homies

Any other homies who need a lift, give us a holler - 0431 833 148

were hitting roleystone ie mills east road on sunday morning but we'll join u crew at kala at 3, anyone who want to join in the morning just let me know 0406278742

That does look like fun Raine.

What sorts of speeds do you get up to on that one?
