Melbourne Sessions!

Jayden bra just come skate with us when we are there and just stay at a caravan park or something

jayden, hit up dan guzzardi, he might be willing to help you out, he is in that area too, worst case boys there is an abundence of backpackers in the city which often have great bars below them too, i reccomend the one on spencer street myself, the bar is fucking rad

those with an itch for hills, few crew going to serpentine later on today, text or call me for details, we will be there around 12ish

Yeah i probs will lozz but i dunno what i am doing yet. Shit will sort itself out on the skating side of things.

we need to skate the hill we skated today alot more often..... minus the single lane issues its nearly perfect, fast, technical and heaps of fun

footage sean?

7.00 fitzy tomorrow

scratch fitzy, make it latrobe

Where abouts on Latrobe? I assume it's a carpark given the weather... Im gonna try and make it down for my first roll with you guys. Let me know on 0439974735 if you can.

note: the killswitch is not for you if you are looking for an immaculate purty board and/or are scared of scratches on the deck.

note#2: both decks are gripped with vicious in the places that matter.

Real fun sesh tonight boys, n good to meet you Lewie.

Cheers for that guys, was good fun to ride with others rather than my average commute! Will have to make up some gloves before the next session so I can try some slides :)
Lewie

those who are over 18, have cool parents or an older brother sister, friend etc who is 18 and likes to watch skateboarding should be making it down to the springvale ditch on this friday night. event page is here, should be a great night in the ditch

Cool parents should be OK with crawling through holes that have been cut into the MMBW's chainwire the fence!

And be ready to make an offering of cash, beer, ganja or some other unspecified form of entertainment to the lighting guys.

"faceplanting" would be another example

 

new melburn shirts to come, contact me in the next few days for details, i will be organising a readily available supply for those who want them after the first run with colour options and style options etc etc, prices will vary, your looking at round 30ish for the standard short sleeve, white with black sleeves, will have it all sorted out in 2-3 days so people can place orders, shirts will be done before kongwak too

rain rain rain

wet wet wet ahhhhhhh....(good slide practice tho)

 

oh those of you who got flexy fun boards i am looking to get rid of my s9 race or my california bonzing co little fatty in a trade for something fun and dropped through

tommorow, carparks meet at Hemley round 4 30 - 5

ok!

300 latrobe for starters? i am knocking off work at like 3.30 so i might not make it to hemleys by 4.30

yup, 300 latrobe

was utterly appalled with the assult that took place tonight, yet again people show their lack of maturity by doing stupid things. ITS SKATEBOARDING, PEOPLE FALL OVER AND YOU GET HURT, some people need to grow up

wow, what happened?

i aint discussing that, but i know people talk like nothing else so in a few days most people who ride with the people involved will  know. And i wanted to express my sadness that something like this actually happend in skateboarding..... let alone involved myself and another guy who has been around the scene for a few years now.

Wo so its says itl b clear today so am def skating after work, fit-roy gardens at 7

knee and neck are wrecked, cant skate tonight

http://www.zazzle.com.au/melburnlongboarding more stuff is getting put up in the next 24 hours, basically there is a 10% margin on them, all of that margin which is like $2.85 (if i had a choice i wouldnt have one but the website does not allow you to make less profit) will be going towards getting a timing system for events such as kongwak so there is the option for guys to run qualification at events as opposed to a random draw

thanks for being so positive and constructive chris, god i wish everyone was like you when it came to this

i'll be in Melbourne this weekend, be good if someone would show me around. maybe sk8 some car parks.

hey man, a group of us are planing some stuff this weekend, chuck us your number and ill let you know...

Friday's ditch day!

Hey guys, does anyone know of any hills where you can take a bus or train back to near the top? It doesnt have to be a massive hill, but at least enough so that you get a good five, ten minutes of freeriding to the bottom. I live in Bulleen, but anywhere is good. Cheers

keen on ditch friday and carparks sunday, as always, working during the day saturday and sunday

Anyone got a Bennet 6.0 for sale?

Any one got any Randal 35 degree plates?

i got some 35's sitting around matt, will trade for used wheels if you want otherwise cash is fine

Yeah? Will they fit a standard 180mm hangar and Kingpin? I can give you some slightly coned/flatspootted yellow stims for them? Still have alot of thane on them im sure you could work em down.

we will work something out next time i see you, yes they 100% randal fit

another day another skate, hopfully i dont get kicked out of fit-roy this time, thos sexy rangers

Matt,

You may/may not need a longer kingpin, the plates i  have at home,

28o = 23mm kingpin inside the bp,

35o = 26mm      "       "           "

42o = 21mm     "        "          "

depending on the bushings/washers you use,

you need 45mm to 50mm projecting out of the baseplate.

fitzy and carparks tomorrow night

Thanks Bear I think I might. At the moment on my 50 deg plates im running an eliminator boardside and venom shr barrel roadside, with cupped washers and only have one or two rings of kingpin to play with. 

 

It just sits too high for my liking on the avenger, want it lower. 

35's are going to make for an intersting ride thats for sure matt, it sure will be stable, but some guys like meisho are loving those stupid low degree setups so maybe it will work for you

Yeah i'm def going to be trying to one up Mischo at Kongwak, I reckon I could bust out a 140kmh no problem haha. 

 

But nah I have decided to go back to wanting 42o plates, and then flip them. 

I'll be at Fitzy tonight
