West Aus Riders

PEACE HILL SESH: sunday 25th july, come on down, starting around 10:30,
might sesh "the coombe" and those paths in minum cove (red roads place)
peace out :P

i might come for a little bit, i have 2 exams the next 2 days. :/

where is Peace hill?

and are there many guys here who are more into slower curvier runs rather than speed runs? i mean the speed stuff is cool, but too much for a humble beginner like myself! heh

its in mosman park, thompson parade? dont quote me on that though.

the coombe is like the perfect hill for your slider.

well its steep anyway, super steep.

@ harry - can we meet u at peace hill at 10?

Paul seriously stop riding that tricycle and get a longboard no point being on asra if u dont skate.

:p

but get into the sport ay ul be better off :)

hey conor you gonna go post a msg to every luge rider that doesnt do stand up that theres no point being on asra too?

Astro i should be down for sunday i prob wont get there til like 12 though...

yeah, i tweaked my shlongboard today with softer wheels n trucks from my other deck, its interesting..

i also checked out the loaded tam tien today, man that was a niiice board! also checked out some sector 9 boards - saw a nice one with double trucks and drop through. what do u guys think of those?

p.s. im all for getting a longboard, just waiting for the right deal

@ paul: get a 2nd hand one to start off with. it will save u cash and u can get a pretty good one.

@connor: whats with all the hate man, lets all be friends. PEACE

@ everyone- Cam made me say that he was standing over my shoulder when he made me say it :p just screwing around

changing my name

dont lie connor ay

sunday 25th, im keen for a sesh, meet at peace hill at 10:30am? minim cove after that, maybe some coombe?

cam and connor both of you pipe down and stop being pussies, if you said it then admit to it and don't be a bitch so we can rip the dude who's being an ass.

i'm keen for sunday but i'll be getting there early, like 9 o'clock and leaving just after 10, i got shit to do.

@Paul - I really don't think you want to go double trucks. From what I hear they are quite unstable at speed! (and not a lot of speed either).

ah yeah, peace hill being johnson parade.. i have skated down the grass near that on my doublekick/offroad board years ago... and ive thought about the coombe before too as a potential good slider spot (but crazy steep spot!)

Might come up for a look, how steep is peace hill ? fairly new to the longboarding thing.....

derpa derpa der my name dave, "i got shit to do" ...as if haha

Paul, where did you get your gloves from out here... and please don't say Momentum because both the Freo store and the Claremont one are a no go atm.

Make them man! Some leather gardening gloves from bunnings and some chopping board. Just cut a chopping board puck and contact cement it on

or get some corian off me ;)

make your gloves like ian said, ends up being cheaper and you can buy some corrian pucks. :)

and raine i do, i got a fricken chem exam the next day. :/

Nick, it's a pretty fun little hill, but it requires a speed check i'm pretty sure, but there's a carpark to practice slides in or you can do a little bit of the hill itself.

and the coombe isn't that steep it's just the cat eye/brick combination that makes it hard. :)

and paul, don't get the double trucks, they are super turney and carvey, but you will get epic speed wobbles when you're not going very fast. :/

i have old kevlar motorbike gloves which i will modify to suit soon... i bought some bunnings gloves but they are too loose and thus dont give me much faith in using them.. i feel very secure in my motorbike gloves..

im still working out which elbow and knee pads and board to get.. im liking the look and feel of the tan tien.. tested one at momentum claremont yesterday, really nice guy who runs the place - don't know why you wouldn't shop there really Victor..

also, where do u get rubber for your shoes for stopping in Perth?

@ dave- sorry man me and cam were just fucking around like usual :p
P.S sorry paul i no ur trying

@everyone- so who is down for peace hill this sunday at 10?

buy some from clark rubber, try and get your hands on black stuff with yellow specks in it, industrial flooring.

use the old bike gloves as well, if they fit good then use them.

i'll be at peace hill on sunday but not for long.

Paul/All- http://www.casf.com.au/colors.aspx
go there and order some FREE CORIAN samples!
ill be there but not til later, Connor what's your number in case you've moved on?

Ah mate I actually shop there and the guy who runs the place is cool... I was just saying that I'd already checked both the Claremont and Freo locations and they were out and on back order. But, I had a missed call this avro from a blocked number which may have been them to tell me some had arrived.

Side note: I tested the tan tien at Momentum Freo last week and I'm pretty sure it's going to be my next buy unless I find something better.

just get everything from ado at cre8ive sk8. cheaper and better than anyone, nice dude too

Yeah go through ado, he's rad. You working later this week Brodie? Let's go skate some time.

hey all i just joined this group ive been skating for a while and would like to start doing some amatuer downhill, im not an expert but im no begginner either. are there many get togethers or skate events that happen in perth that i dont know about

yeah, we skate pretty often. usually on tuesday and thursday nights some people hit up the stackers (car parks) in the city and usually end up with a bomb of st georges terrace after 11pm.

otherwise usually on sundays we go out to the hills for a bit of speed.

this sunday there's a meet starting at peace hill in mossy park, which will probs end up moving to the coombe and the minum cove, all in mossy park.

the road peace hill is on is johnson parade, mosman park and at a park called memorial park.

and welcome. :)

i think people are meeting there 10-10:30ish. just have a look closer to the date and there should be details soon.

dont think im workin friday, skate for sure

brodie i'm keen for a skate on friday, just post up details and i'll be there. :)
