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....
i see some people are meeting tonight at esplanade. is this kind of thing open to anyone? i was hoping to meet some people who skate but im quite new to this site and to longboarding can i just trun up is it ok if im a bit of a noob?
my number is 0434873749 i would like to know about casual skate meets are they all just organised on this comment wall. Some help and explanation would be appreciated.
that was this morning dude, as it says am on earlier posts (be careful on that)
;-)
there is a West Aus Riders group on facebook, which is used a lot more then this (actually about 90% more then this).
there are a few dudes who tend to talk big at times on there but when it comes down to it, we all look after each other when we're out skating. we're all bros and sisters on here, like a community.
noob to pro.. we have different meets for different levels of skill.
hey youze! skating this afternoon from about 3 or 4 onwards. will do some light dh runs like churchman's and such then chill and skate a corner somewhere(+ a beer or two) i guess. if you want to try dh for the first time today is a good day to do it.
This is a shout out to all of you crew buying shit off the net from overseas. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SKATE SHOP! Because once you start to they will support you. local shops help organize and fund local events. you want more races with more prizes? you want legit aus riders to come over this country for once? You'ze are the people that will make it happen.

Hey guys... im new pretty new to the longboarding scene and me and my friends are looking for some good spots to practise our sliding and bombing... any suggestions?
Hi Guys, are there any older longboarders out there (35+). I'm 39 and have been longboarding for about 6 months now and love it. After the kids are in bed I hit the coast or river and go cruising for 2 hours. I'm probably fitter know than I've ever been and its so much more fun than running or cycling. If anyone is keen for a cruise - nothing too extreme, let me know.
Hi Dwayne, Im 34 (and have 2 kids). Is that old enough :).
Im going for a cruze with a few others this arvo, but I think it might be classed as extreme.
Where are you based? Im in Mt Lawley and ride to and from work. I completely agree about more fun they running and cycling and also find it helps with the fitness.
If you look down the page, you will find a face book link. Thats were you will find out about meets, etc, etc.
Hi Dwayne I'm 43 and have just got back into skating in June. I hit it pretty hard and have loved getting back on a board. I have started to learn how to slide but basically have been bombing hills like a dead cow sliding on a sled down a mountain side. Fast but with no braking ability. Hence the plate and 7 screws to fix the collarbone that shattered into 4 bits on Dec 2nd. I've decided to pull my head in and cruise more, I'm not back to 100% yet but am happy to cruise anytime. Call me 0439 950 833 I live in Mt Claremont. Cheers Duncan Booth
Sounds like a gnarly crash duncan, glad to hear your on the mend though. If any of you guys feel like coming out for a ride tomorrow afternoon perhaps then id be glad to have a bit of a cruise. 0406634789. Not to sure when or where ill go yet, but i will post up here when i know whats happening. peace
hey guys i'm moving to perth in a few weeks.. I ride luge mostly but skate and mountainboard as well, keen to hook up with you guys when I get over there
Hey dan, the Perth dh scene is pretty good these days. There are a handful of guys that skate real good and a whole lota groms, not much luge though. Give me a ring or a text and i would be more than happy to take you out for some runs. (probably be pretty keen to have a run on your sled as well if its all good) Number is below.
To everybody else skating monday morning. come out!
Just saying a friendly hello, I only got into longboarding a few months ago so I'm still pretty newb at it all. Trying to get into the downhill/sliding style of things,I'm in the south of Perth area but yer always willing to travel for session. I'll keep popping in to check up on events but lets us know if there are any night sessions (works a bitch) and I'll be sure to rock up.
Dave skate monday after my exam in the morning?or is your exam then too? And then i think im heading to albs to rack up some G.N.A.R. points on the hills :P
na mate i gotta commit hardcore till wednesday now. last one is wednesday morning. so i needa do a bit of work for this one because i haven't started (about to now)
but after wednesday i'm keen as and will try get down to albs. :)

No race or anything.
