Melbourne Sessions!

i should be geting the dervish set-up verry early next week anyway so thanks but its probably not worth the bother, i should be able to make it, just convice my brother to drive me in and ill bring the bomber...

Man i will be going all night ben, so you wont need to worry, you will probably miss out on all the live music though..

yo oscar me thinks keg will be at your place on saturday

U can't even see or feel the drop. um ya i guess it's like footprint in the sand

sweet for sunday,me,asto and a couple of the other boys are gonna skate the city bike link that follows the river in to the city,were gonna start at rushall station on the epping line,its about 6-7 km long and plenty of nice little downhill runs,nothin crazy but similar to fitroy gardens,which is where we're gonna skate to and maybe the car park after,if any of u guys are keen,let me no,we want to meet at rushall around 4:30 - 5:00,cause by the time we get to fitzroy gardens it should be dark at not many people.Ill keep u posted on the time and like i said let me no either on here or my no. 0422363375
might c u there

it 4:30 - 5:00 pm too

spent the day on hamish's bomber today around mt martha and saftey beach area. i have two main conserns, cant check slide at all, mangaged to throw it 180 once though.. and i feel like once i got fast on it, it "lag's" i thought this would be due to the wheel's (gumball's 76mm 84a) maybe im just used to my old oj bowl wheels that are a bit harder.... was handleing foot brakeing at high speed's though and felt reativly controled....

harder to slide on topmount. Drop thru's great for sliding

hey callum gonna be up frankston on friday the way its looking if you want to skate some bowl

Yeah sure man, what time you looking at?

not going to franga tomorrow, thinking newport at aboue 3ish

u guys should meet somewhere in between.

Put some oil in berings the wheels should go fast big wheels take longer to wind up to top speed .
She will slide but you gona have to have a hand down or 2 .

delayed response:

I still maintain dervish = bouncy = fun!!

one sentence > essay :p

of course, all these things are a matter or preference at the end of the day. Really stiff decks make my feet ache (cuz i commute plenty) and topmounts are harder to push. >.<

and fendy,,, i have other decks.. they're just not longboards. grrr

iv just bought a brand new landy dh race for 200....

i hate that board

lol, ill see how it go's....

its still better than the omni i reckon. only problem is its not wide enough for my preference. other than that looks like a pretty sweet deck for a dh starter

how are you liking the killswitch fendy? worth the money?

i didnt ride it much but i failed to see how its cost that much more, but i'd wait for fendy to say something about it. at the end of the day though its not thaaaat much more expensive.

oh stephen i just realised nola decks have flat caves, and i'm more of a radial/tube kinda guy.

ahk then, was the concave and stuff as wonderful as it has been said to be?btw, flatcave is the win :P
You wouldnt have been looking at a bombhills would you? because i just sold mine..

hahah nah, i was thinking of getting a dregs alpine and cutting into an s9 race, apparently it has the same concave as the race. why did you sell your bombhills?

dregs alpines are pretty hard to find, was looking for one a while back. I sold my bombhills for money to buy an asym or dropspeed. topmounts are nice and all but i really prefer drop thrus and drop decks, especially because i like to slide and stuff

stephen get a bloody 39 sun from landy with some earthwing slide a wheels and some randals

The reason killswitch is so expensive is because it's the first of its kind. The amount of money that went into designing it is probably what made it so expensive. It's definitely overpriced but that's how new ideas are usually. I wouldn't be surprised if the idea was copied by some other board building company and the price is reduced thereafter. I got the board because no one else in Melbourne seem to be getting it and we all needa have a go at this new design ;) I have no regrets buying it because it is a wicked board but ultimately, it is still overpriced for what it is.

fendy your pretty much right about the price of the killswitch, its a amazing cave on the board but you cant justify that sorta price for the concave like that, its all just a cave on a nice deck to be honest

asym is topmount isnt it stephen?

so who's getting brianne's board then?

asym is topmount and slightly dropped like a killswitch. It also has steeper concave on the toeside. I would like to drop it thru though...
Im hoping that ado is getting the newest asyms in (not on the rbros site yet)
if not, then i'll probably get a drop speed

well ching your the girl of the team i reckon you should be on it, you really need a spud though you midgit

diancuk

i've been checking out the asym and i'm starting to like it as well, where would you get the newer version anyway?

i dunno sean, id be more than happy to ride the Isis, it looks alot better than the killswitch IMO. http://www.raynelongboards.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RL&Product_Code=ISIS&Category_Code=BOARDS

and gilbert, A Drain has 2 asyms coming in a goofy and a regular. They were just built so im hoping that they are the newer versions

link didnt work the first time

well you got dips on the regular so I need to find another source, i like that the new asym has the more aggresive cave at the back, thats the only reason why i didnt like the old one.

get the brianne davies model, its like an asym without the asymettry but with pleasure dome and epic graphics... LOL

a little too expensive for my budget.

Brianne looks so happy. How can u not want to buy this board?

flinders is on tonight yes?

yup

yay will be there!

So who's posting the elevator video? Lol

we'll be waiting on brock for the footage!

haha,i wonder how sean's goin

So wut's happenin with the van Ellery? We hittin mtn hw this saturday? I reckon we can get at least 8 of us bombin that road :) 9 if Oscar doesn't bail on us

if the van doesnt work out we should go to chirnside park, wanna practice my footbreaking and toesides/heelsides

for sure

how do you get to chirnside park and what is it like? i might be able to come for a ride on saturday...

train to lilydale then bus, its just a steep hill that leads to a right and left hand corner, awesome for sliding
