hey ben, you know i am keen for a skate any time, i also have a car if you want to drive it to melton (dont have a licence) but yeah, you got my info, just let me know when your coming and you have a place to crash and a car to use if you want

was geting my old man to tow me behind the vespa wev got, took the crim up to about 35/40 mph and with a bushing swap, (blue and red khiros) feels solid as with the nice turnyness in the nose. off to france tonight and theres a big free rideing do on the weekend...

hey, is anyone up for the ditch this weekend?

thinking late july- early august? comments? keens?

give me a date, i reckon road trip to lorne for a few days sand sun and steeps

why wont chat work!?!?! grr.

okay i am just throwing this out there, the feedback i've had so far is that im a crazy mofo.

The long treks on skate decks videos have sort of inspired me to undertake a LDS(long distance skate) and with this I want to skate to up to Sydney and back, stopping by Canberra for a night, anybody mad enough or keen to join me? keep in mind I'd want to avoid freeways as much as possible with no skating at night and camping where I/we stop. So I ask, who is game?

I was gonna skate from Seattle to los Angeles end of this month but that didn't work out cuz I didn't have enough time to plan for it. When do u plan on doing your trip? What's the longest distance you've skated in one leg? I hear road condition is not that great from here to sydney especially if ur gonna avoid the freeway. I'm definitely up for it but I'm pretty busy so this probably won't happen for me for another year. And i think it will take a while to plan this anyways. Talk to Hamish. He's been talkin bout a long distance skate trip for a while and he's a crazy long distance pusher/pumper. Goin to sydney and back will be around 2000km. If you manage to do bout 70km/day, that will take you bout a month. The trip will definitely be torture and it won't be fun. Will it be a self supported trip or will you have a support vehicle?

whats interesting btw here n sydney? =S

I'm looking to do it in spring/summer, not sure when for certain, weather wise it'll be better. Self-supported trip, plenty of towns along the way, to restock if need be. Max I have done skating is 35km 100% pushing from the city to Broad Medows and back. I was heavy into stamina training for running a marathon last year but gave up because the I was too young to enter. Like I was at the stage of comfortably runing 25km w/o water. Im thinking more like 100km a day. It's some 881km from CBD to CBD and traveling there will be better days than others(distance wise). I like a challange. And with the right pre-training it'll be easier on the legs, also being able to push with both legs. The reason I want to try and avoid freeways is there is alot of freight traffic from syd to melb.

i would be keen to do albury and back before i did it to sydney, also its only 250 km or so, which is viable in a few days the way i look at it, i would be very very keen to do a big push trip

I'm up for helping you train. I don't think i'll be able to do it this coming summer. Where in Melbourne do u live? I've got a 70km route mapped out for myself around Melbourne. I can tweak it a bit and we can do it every weekend or something before summer.

sounds sick fendy, over the hols i really want to skate to gelong or something (day trip me thinks)

also tomorrow DITCH SKATE, if your a virgin to the place meet at westall station at 1, if you have tried to tame the beast before just meet up there around 1

Fendy that sounds dope. I live in Pascoe Vale, near the Bell St tulla on ramp, at the end of the 55 tram. so I can get into the city no worries

ok here's a route that we can do. Starts from Carrum Station and ends at Noble Park Station. It's around 100km. Mostly bike roads. If you can do this in a day and still feel fine the following day, you're good to go. I still think 100km/day is not feasible if ur planning on doing it everyday for a month. Even everyday for 1/2 a month will be pretty harsh on your body.

If you take it easy and don't rush, it'll be a fun trip. You'll prob have to focus on town hopping all the way up. Also, it'll be more than 881 km w/o fwy.
isn't it raining tmrw sean?

i fucking hope not ben

but the radar says we are clear

we are clear

i would be up for distance too, as fendy and i were talking about a while ago, but i would need to train heaps and heaps...

we all will sam, i really need to work on pushing with both legs

yeah pushing both legs wat a fucker. aight so we train, it'd be good if we can pull this off.
