    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!

    Hey guys
    Anyone here have a 2.5" kingpin bolt for randalls that i can buy off them?

    my crappy generic one failed on me today :(

  • Premium Member

    Shannon

    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.

    were you going fast when it failed?
  • jed locsin

  • Premium Member

    Shannon

    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.

    Where what suburb are you in?

  • Premium Member

    Scott Bouyer

    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?).

  • Premium Member

    Scott Bouyer

    Dude when I am home I am down for anything. Whatever suits you is good with me.

    Ahhh,that was you today Matt. I'm sure ull b right Jed. It's probably just bruised up real bad.

    Thursday night come to the bird for drinks. Shit will go off!
  • Matt Gray

    @ jed its all good dust drop me a line when ur better and we'll do peace again

  • Premium Member

    Shannon

    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.

    @Dan - Go see a Dr dude :)
  • Daniel Martin

    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.
