thursdays my birthday and am planing some downhill during the day, will be having some drinks around the city at night after 8, will miss bomb squad cause missus is planning surprise stuff, come for a beer after yall skate though.
G'day met a guy today at the markets who told me about this site said I could find a group on here with Sydney skates so I guess this is it. Pretty new to the whole skating dig but trying to get on the board as much as I can, would love to come out one time and go for a bit of a cruise.
welcome ,)

Cheers
Hey guys, just wondering about a run when the rest of the groms get out, because some kids are out on holidays, but others arent...
Also is this thursday on?
I'm itchin for a skate....
Ay Rob I appreciate the offer mate but I had a stack recently from some "unexpected" downhill riding (read: I didnt mean to go so fast, ate pavement) and I'm nursing a bit of gravel rash and some stitches for my efforts so for now I'll be takin it slow. Maybe when I've got the skills (and the balls) I'll take you up on it haha.
BTW I meant to ask, I wanna buy some protective gear, hindsight bein the beautiful thing it is. The budget is pretty tight but I still want to cover my knees, elbows, wrists and head. It sounds pretty extensive but this is because if I get nailed I can't work... and that = big problems.
Can anyone recommend some good, cheap pads/helmet?
Get Helmet and gloves first. Don't buy wrist guards, just stick with slide gloves. Fitz has some cheap gloves. Learn to stop. Speed should rarely make you crash. Fear of speed is what makes you crash
m a grom and proud!
and would also like to do some runs to get up some more speed and test out my new fullface!!!
will also be attending SCBS....
just a question what times does SCBS usually run from??? like 7-10pm or......
i hear by announce this thursday on like donkey kong. 6 at railway square. i can bring some t-shirts if you tell me what size, but you better come cause im not carting that shit around for no reason.
Ay guys wondering if I could get a bit of advice, a mate is looking to get a longboard around Christmas and I was wonderin if you had any recommendstions for any good cheaper boards? Around 150-200$ mark. I realise no board will be amazing around this price but figure might as well ask.

best to go and see the guys instore, they are amongst the most knowledgeable chaps around, and will steer you/your mate in the right direction... also keep an eye out on here, as dudes are selling stuff all the time
thursday is on 6.30 railway square. and a little downhill in the morning if any one wants to join. will be good to talk about cannonball run, our mate jon b has ridden broadway bomb nyc and will have a couple of ideas forshore. any one can come hey and just skate at your own pace and style,
i just watched gopro ad and had a thought of using 2<3 gopro at once filming in front and behind, close and fucking gnarly, though the city or down a park,
how many gopros are there in bomb squad and can we pull this off.
Negative Mr. Blackwood, I'm like an 18th century lady waiting by the door for her husband to return from war. Hopefully be in by Thursday arvo. Grabbed a helmet last night though, yay for not smashed brains.
I'd be down for the meet on thursday if this is an open invite? sounds good
ps. whats the dealio with the T-shirts they might be a cool/different australian souvenir
hey, guys... i'm new to this group... but me and my bro have been longboarding for a bit... can someone give me the lowdown on what kind of events and places you guys skate at?...
Gabriel if you can make it tonight you'll see for yourself! we've got a bunch of runs in and around the city. several carparks, hills, streets and corners.
as for a time... its more of a vibe than an actual time
Thanks for tonight boys, looks like I've got a few things to practice but hopefully next time I'm out with you I'll be able to hit a few more hills! For now it was just too intense and I was happy to chill out and watch.

got kicked out of a few carparks last night (rare), but had several gnarly interludes at the opera house with no problems... weird.
Good to have 10+ riders though ,)
I can do Christmas eve (Thurs next week)
Hey Tom,
There's no better place to hone your skills then Bomb Squad, you might have a bit of homework, but we all have a bit of that each week. Was good to have yourself and the other new guys along.
Cheers
I reckon thursday next week would be a bit iffy, since some of us have to go to family things etc...
But the thursday after seems like it would be perfect, we could even go earlier since most people will be on holidays, not just groms.
btw thanks to all for the flippin sweeeet run last night :D
