Melbourne Sessions!

haha do you guys always give sean this much shit?

...yeahhhh

just wait till g and fendy come back....

You all missed a great arvo at springy ditch today.
Training for CHC2010 starts soon.

not mine btw, i just blew my load a couple o times

gee thanks for that stephen...sean is given shit for a reason and he knows that...but i think g and fendy just love it too much.

wayne, i'm determined to concur springy ditch once im back!

Dom, anything with me and you'll be more then fine.

Read today that the 2010 dropspeed is going to be rockerspeed. I found that interesting..

yeah, i get shit for a reason sam, i am going away for abit myself so dont expect me to turn up at any sesh's for about the next month

you should've hooked up with the crew last night if you wanted to skate it...

sean is like petrol... easy to burn.

alternatively, sean is managable if he's within punching distance. his idea of a fight is bruising your knuckles with his face.. =]

dom: if you still don't know where the carpark is, i don't mind showing you where it is. thing is i'm busy packing for my flight home on thursday, so quickly make a meet up date =]

well, its supposed to be a secret location, and since this is a public forum, its ben said, that we won't post up the location of one of our fav spots. =S

the man is watchingg....

i'll add you as a friend, then i can pm you the directions. =]

Dom when i get back on the 6th of Jan ill show you a few of our regular spots.

just reminding you that I AM NOT IN MELBOURNE THERE FORE I WILL NOT ORGANISE RIDES, SO DONT BOTHER CALLING ME ULESS I POST UP OTHERWISE

I'll be back from Barringhup on the 10th unless my sister goes home early so that's the earliest I can skate, unless someone wants to do something on Thursday haha.

Anyone seen bombsquad's agent orange yet? that's one beautiful board.

hey guys in melbourne for 2 weeks now just wondering if u wanna organise any rides or sessions anyone on the same line as bayswater ??

oh btw my number is 0429154271

yeah, Cameron, the only people left here are Dom, Jesse, Callum and I (i think), I think Ben's gone, Sean's gone surfing and everyone else is in other countries.

hi im doms friend Declan just wondering how much protection do u guys use when u go out on ur rides?

i usually use a regular durex, some spermicide and a fullface just to be on the safe side.

hey declan, in the garage, normally we gear up. half shells knee pads gloves. some even use elbow pads. the garage can be pretty fast, and its pretty safe to say that everyone has crashed once in it, if not, they've lost skin. its well advised to pad up for flinders =]

dom: unfortunately, i'm busy packing tmrw
sean: noone forgot.

Declan, helmet is a must. You only get one brain and it stops repairing after 2 years old.

we had a guy who had a helmet...didnt wear it and slammed his head into a wall in the carpark. gloves and helmets!

dom, i recommend going to the carpark at night cause that's when its the least busy and security wont kick you out. watch out for the lifts they tend to get stuck while you're in it. always have a buddy with you!

yeah overseas unfortunately. wil be back sometime in february. well the point of having slide gloves is so you can get down low and slide. its always good to learn the coleman as your first slide in case you need to make a quick emergency stop (especially in carparks..cars backing out and stuff). and when you fall on your hands you kinda slide away the impact (and prevent sprained/broken wrists, i had to learn this the painful way).

get some thick chopping boards, industrial strength velcro when you have the time. silverfish is a good resource to learn all these things.

fast times on swanston st in the city has some protecs there. otherwise, i think boardshop has some as well.

Dom, I can give you my old gloves, some of the pucks (thumb) are tiny and probably worth ripping off. I just need to go out and buy some of these gecko gloves that i found...

Also, I'm free tomorrow if you want to cruise around the city, I can show you where a few of the spots I've been to are if you like.

I just checked the weather, it's going to be 35 degrees tomorrow haha, it's your call if you still want to skate.

Yeah, I'm happy to skate, meet you at fed square at 10:30? If anyone else wants to come (Jesse or Callum) you're welcome to. We'll be going to flagstaff and Fitzroy I expect.

dom: cheap is no good and good is no cheap =]

best get a decent set of knee pads, and they'll last you a long time! =] they price in the $50's..

btw.. garages are cool inside. like, temperature cool. =]


View Larger Map is pretty cool too. not as steep, and imo better for begginers

Ben, are you still around? or have you flown the coop? if you're still around, come tomorrow!

i may come for a little cruze...depends how i feel in the mornig...cant be back to late ether....

i'm flying tmrw arvo. hmmm... packing is going well, i don't mind a cruise tonight!

I can't tonight, still up at eildon. sorry Ben! Callum, I've gotta be home at like 4:30 so I'll be leaving at 3-3:30 at the latest.

sveet, im n then, got a nye party o set-up is all....

I'm out for tonight, we're going to the pub for dinner then coming home so I'll get back to mine at around 9 or 10...I filmed the road here which is skatable, there's another one about a stones throw away from our front door but you have go to into town (30 mins) then back out to get to it because there's no direct road.

definitely in for tomorrow though, i could do with a skate, haven't been out for a real one since before Christmas.

oh wait.. do you wanna skate early? i doubt i can before 10p.m. got me a dinner i totally forgot abt. >./body>

i cant do tonight but will come out tommorow with the fsm...

FSM! Flying Spaghetti Monster!?

I'll bring my Toecutter if I get enough time to saw my kingpins off, otherwise I'll just bring my Never summer.

Everyone's OK with 10:30 at Fed Square?

yurp! flying spaghetti! lol
10 30's cool for me!

lol yes dom.....

on second thought, I don't think I can sell you my gloves Dom, they're in crap condition, the pucks are peeling off the glove so there's not much life left in them, it wouldn't be fair to take your money.

First tip is to get gloves before trying it.

Otherwise you will be mr stub.

hahahaha, gloves are a good start...in terms of the slide its self, get low, turn hard and try and take some weight off the board to let it brake out...

ok, slide gloves have a plate (plastic normaly) on the plam that alows you to "slide" on them you will (or should) rip though leather motobike goves in no time....

Yeah you have to make some slide gloves, they have 'pucks' on them which you can make out of nylon chopping board. Then you just velcro them to the middle of your hand (on the glove) and use that. Leather gloves will just stop you and your board will smash into some guys expensive car which will surely end up with your demise..

can somebody whos going skateing today please text me on 0400544708, ima gunna be late and will need to meet up a little later...

sorry callum, I should have got your number last night, did you end up turning up? we waiting for 50 minutes for you and figured you'd slept in or something.

Declan, if you're unable to make your own gloves, you could look at getting some of the ones that Fitzy made, the only downside is that they're $30 which is still pretty cheap.
