  • JeSSSe

    u gyz should come to where i skate all the time becuase its fuckin sweet as... its like fitzy but steeper and more turns. Its about a 60-70 kph run. :):):)

    Not bad. Which bit is the 60-70kph? From what I can see from google map street view, it could be the bottom left bit with the speed bump. Have you actually hit 70 there? I find it freaky to hit 70 in a residential area.
  • Ben Shane

    yeah, wouldn't wanna run over any kids playing in the street

    kids?? pfft... i'm more worried about hitting a car and bending my axles
  • JeSSSe

    Lol iv only hit fifty but only once because of cars, but on the left of the pic it goes downhill from there... And when u go from the top into the first left corner it is sweeet.
  • JeSSSe

    And the 65-70 bit is the start and straight down to that little round about... And the hill where u turn right from the start on the left side of the pic. And that hairpin corner at the top right is amazing. It's about 40 down a hill that's not shown in the pic into that corner at about 45-50.

    jesse, have u ever gone up to 400 acre reserve? Are there skateable paths there?
  • Gilbert

    how did you figure out your speed jesse in different sections? looking at the GPS as you go down?

    might have to check this place out.

    hey guys i am thinking about holding a downhill race some time in the future would any of you come ?( bug sent me here, said some of you could help me improve my downhill skills but yeah)

    where abouts do u plan on holding this race? We've talked about holding a race for a while but finding a good place to have it is hard. Do you come to the city often? It's pretty hard for all of us to go down to your area, but if the hills are sweet, we'll definitely make the effort to go down

    cam i would be down to race me thinks, i reckon you might be in more of a area where an outlaw would be doable and permits might be a touch easier to get for an event, i know there are some nice hills out that way so i reckon it would be a good event, definently got to be a weekend race though

  • Nippon

    i suggest 6.30pm at flagstaff gardens for those who wish to skate more.

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    i like your idea, those who are in uni or are groms, me and the brother are thinking of hitting melton drains one arvo this week to score some mega ditch action

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    those who are up for a massive skate mission this week let me know, its going to take atleast half an hour of distance skating to get there... BUT if you have ever hit melton drains you will understand how epic the place is, if you think springvale is epic you have no idea
  • Ben Shane

    whats at 300 latrobe?

    and wheres melton drains?

  • Premium Member

    Fendy

    Carpark at latrobe. Melton drain's at Melton. 35 min v/line + 30 min skate through countryside...
  • Alex Schulze

    can i join this mission to drains? sounds sick

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    its about an hour all up (which makes it just as close as most of the DH action in melb) but seriously, go look at the pictures of the place and just look how gnar it is, i mean it might be a bitch to get to but it is so so so worth it

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    and anyone can come as far as i am concerned, i just want a crew to go with
  • JeSSSe

    So wats going down for tonight??? Flinders carpark at 8???
  • Nippon

    300 La Trobe St at 7pm-8pm. Top Floor.

    I will be at Flagstaff Gardens from 6.30
  • Ben Shane

    for those who are bored or garages... ching, i and some others will be hitting the leicester st. roundabout. =] its a fun hill with a roundabout in the middle, and no traffic at night. (not more than flinders anyway) Great place to practice sliding.

    if it doesn't rain of course... 0421832776

    not meaning to steal the crew or anything nippon, just need a change of scenery =]

  • Premium Member

    Fendy

    i still don't understand what's so great about a roundabout... What do u do with it on a longboard? Who are some others? If you've actually got people other than you and ching, then I might join
  • Ben Shane
