This is a group for W.A riders to join, so we can organise skate meets, downhill runs, carpark runs, city runs, Rottnest island runs and comps... all welcome.. lets get the ball rolling to build gatherings as held on the east coast....
Hey West Aus! Getting back to Adelaide from Europe on the 11th of November and I have signed up to Newtons. Don't have a job or even a place to live in Adelaide yet so money is tight. Wondering if any of you cats are driving up to Newtons and if so are you coming through Radelaide and do you have a spare spot? I have my license so I can help drive and of course throw in petrol money. Let me know, cheers!
heya matt!
im from around that area..
actually i live in wembley soo yeh and my other mates live round scarbs and wembley downs whos longboard aswell..
lemme know when yerr out skkating(0401384646) and we can have a sesh.. im 16 btw.
hey matt i'm from floreat. i'm 18. there's often a quiet sesh at a nice hill in floreat. but with exams for uni im not sure ho it will be going. keep an eye on this space or post up your phone number. if i have your number ill text you when i sesh around floreat.
Also next Thursday. Sesh at the zigzag! Beers and BBQ goodness... If anybody has a webber they can bring along anyway! So mainly beers and skating, but who's down! I leave for newtons the following day, so come along and say bye!
Mitch, contact me (0411838600), you can come and grab a second hand one off me. However, the reason I retired this set is because one of them broke on me, so be warned :)
I recommend buying a grade 8 kingpin from any reputable longboard shop.
No i wasn't going fast at all i was really lucky if you think about it haha.
It just felt like my trucks went loose so i checked and sure enough it was snapped. Very thankful i wasn't bombing a hill when it happened
thanks, ill give you a text now.
hey guys just joined would be keen for weekend and night rides, mostly chilled fun can't handle extreme speeds but im keen to run the ravished dervish a bit more. give me a text if any cruisy rides are goinmg on peace
Scott, Yes, There are a few of us (some even older then late 20's).
That's what the Scarbrough Sessions on Wednesday are all about.
Pushing through some gentle hills, stopping at the pub for a pint and chat (Too much exercise is dangerous), then pushing home.
Wednesday suck for me tho. My roster works so I fly out on a wed morning then home the following Thursday night. I'm away at the moment. Home this coming Thursday night. Be keen as for anything Friday, sat, sun, mon, tues.
Thats a bummer. I have small children, so most times other then Wednesday night sucks for me :(
I'm in Mt Lawley, so at least we are on the right side of the river.
Ill have a think about it and let you know when we next go out for a skate (How would you feel about a Friday or Saturday night session around scarbs?).
im still out for at least 2 weeks. might need my knee examined.
will be securing my airfares and newtons ticket tomorrow though....
hoping there is still availability!
herro guys and gals of the longboarding community I was supposed to go to pendulum tonite but can't due to exams so like I hav a seated ticket I want to sell and the seat is right infront of the stage (why I got a seated ticket I don't know) but if anyones interested call or txt 0439692198 mangos are in season btw
Hey guys, I had some pads ordered but the order was cancelled :/ Is there anywhere in Perth you can buy good knee pads for a reasonable price? Thanks :)
momentum skate shop in claremont/freo has protec kneepads for around $50 seem pretty decent a few people have them and they say they're uber comfy
good luck
dayumm
my mumma said tht my tailbone might be fractured and she wants me to quit skating..
as of the moment im in bed suffering.. haha lol
tash u shouldve taken a vid of my stack
hehe
i will but my mom doenst want me to..
thanks for everything btw matt!
it would hve been really hard for me to catch the train and bus home if u werent there..
thanks heaps bruu!
You hit hard today Jed (it was one of the hardest hits Ive ever seen anyone take), you literately bounced your ass/tailbone of the kerb with enough force to fly like a rag doll doing somersaults.
Hopefully you will be ok. I would say you were lucky. Please do let us know what the final word from the Dr's is.
Remember people, skate safe, skate within your limits, etc, etc.
dude, i've already seen a Doc lol. my knee will be examined in 2 weeks (ultrasound) if it doesnt fully heal by then, so yeah i just have to wait and while i wait i will be buying a GoPro and getting fat on the couch :) *sighs* FML
seriously everyone... make super sure that you're ready to hit bigger/faster hills etc... injuries suck big fat willies and not in the way that chicks like em either
word to what Shanno said below. i am living proof.
oi dan found some shit out for u, u can get a 10% discount on newtons ticket, and when we arrive we can get u some wrist band that will let u into the competitors camp ground etc, so should be good, give me a call and ill give u the promo code for the 10% discount
