    Hey, so doing this Perth-freo? What sort of skate is it- cruising??
  • ed pley

    Yeah cruising. Few gradual downhill slopes. Nothing major. Bit of uphill pushing :P

    No race or anything.

    Welcome Josh!

    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.

    stay tuned!

  • Dwayne Staniforth

    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.

  • Premium Member

    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.

    skating some faster stuff on Friday afternoon. if you want to come out and have a go, or just to check it out. come along! 0406-634-789
  • Duncan Booth

    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

    Hey all,

    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.
