    Mar 6, 2011

  • Ben Shane

    Fendy

    ya flem road is not showing up on google map. What's it like and how easy is it to get there?

    Mar 6, 2011

  • Ben Shane

    YOU MADE FENDY INTERESTED :D

    Mar 6, 2011

  • tom harms

    um stuff that idea its actulley a really bad skating spot well its ok but for freeriding. im new to DH and really wanna do some races any ideas where. is making fendy interested a good thing??

    Mar 6, 2011

  • Ben Shane

    yeah.. haha.. he thought there was a spot in melbourne we could race.. So far the best spot to race is Kongwak.. i'm sure the others will agree with me.

     

    for dh seshes... theres a few spots we know of =]

    Mar 6, 2011


  • Premium Member

    Fendy

    There is another good spot... but it's been black listed because of cops. So i guess it's a bad spot?

    Mar 6, 2011


  • Premium Member

    Chris O'Brien

    oi ben, around the corner from the race spot is this 3.5km run and 5min30seconds of tucking, so hard to hold a tucks form that long, maybe just not a fast but long and very fun, gets up to 60 at some points.

    Mar 6, 2011

  • tom harms

    yeah i havnt skated there before but i have driven around there with my dad checking it out and stuff

    there are also some pretty good spots aroung the MCG for freeriding

    hahahaha you guys have searched the place :)

    Mar 6, 2011

  • tom harms

    do u guys know anywhere to buy good cheap lethers?

    Mar 6, 2011

  • Ben Shane

    what's your height and weight?

    Mar 6, 2011

  • tom harms

    im 75 kilos. about six foot

    Mar 6, 2011

    Driving that far just for a 3.5km hill that averages 38.2km/h is not worth it. Might as well go to Mt. Dandenong.

    Tom, cheapest leathers would be to constantly check ebay for leathers that fit you. I checked ebay multiple times everyday for around 6 months before I found one that is cheap and fit me. I'm also 6 ft and because our height is so average, it's hard to find cheap 2nd hand leathers that will fit us.

    If your looking for some quality custom leathers at a decent price, check out Arcticboyz leathers. Around 500 US delivered from norway. About to purchase a set myself.

    Mar 6, 2011

  • Ben Shane

    fendy: agreeeeedd

    tom:Example! <- look at these.. in victoria. Custome, dodgy pakistanian made leathers come at around $300. ;]

    Mar 6, 2011

  • tom harms

  • Rupert Evans

    Anyone Ridden the You Yangs, if so what's it like and can you give directions to the best roads? thanks guys planning on going up sometime this long-weekend with a few guys.

    Mar 8, 2011

  • Martin

    Hey guys what do you think of the switchblade, Yay or Nay?

    Mar 8, 2011

  • Brenton Aylward

    You Yangs: roughish roads bring soft wheels once you're there you'll see downhill runs, there's not many roads

    Switchblade: Yay, if freeriding is your thing and you like a drop deck. I'd say buy an Ozzie deck though
