Sydney City Bomb Squad

Anyone is welcome to Join Bomb Squad any Thursday night (:

dont speak to your princess that way!

sick alien was sick </3

normal nights about 12 ish people this week just 5, it was so wierd bring a lid and gloves

Sounds sick. How many people normally show up?

Gloves are 100% necessary, because you're going to need them for everything. If you cant slide yet, you'll need them to protect your hands when you fall.

Minimum gear is Helmet and Gloves. Secondary gear is a skateboard.

You don't need to slide to go to Bomb Squad, but if you can't slide you do need to be able to footbrake.

Wrist guards will do if footbraking, but gloves are still better.

Remy, it is. but as Bugs said. Know how yto either shutdown slide or footbrake........if you can do either of these ok, come and you will learn how to do it better as you get taught or watch and learn....also, alot of people come and then realise that we push everywhere, make sure you can keep up the pace  :P

Easiest way to learn is to do......if you have a small hill, go slide it, practice sliding to a stop, or get your footbraking technique down-pat.   Or, find someone who lives near you and hit them up for a skate...and learn, ask questions.....

I stand by what I said. SCBS is NOT the place to learn how to stop. People who told you it's for all skill levels were wrong. You need to be able to handle yourself. If you can't control your speed or pull an emergency stop, then riding fast with a group in the city at night is potentially going to get you badly hurt or even killed. I think people are forgetting that bombsquad is actually pretty dangerous (or has it got really lame and safe since my injury?).

I taught myself shutdown slides on my own well before I turned up and I still got smashed into carpark walls repeatedly for weeks.

Go to youtube, watch some Kyle Chin or Colton slide tutorials and then practice on a quiet hill until you can stop in a hurry. That's what I did.

Haha, Dave it still gets a bit interesting at times  :P Especially Chucky Hunter and I in Opera House the other night....car and ped dodging , was crazy....almost smashed into 2 Mercs and a Beemer  :P

And knowing how to stop like that, will definately help, like Dave said, youcan get badly hurt, or even killed in extreme situations.....You have to remeber that we are sharing the roads with cars and sometimes dont realise that we are there, or dont care. I have smashjed into cars pulling out cause they decided not to see me, and footbraking has saved me alot, changing an injury from a possible break to just a bruise....

hey alex remember that time at opera where i ended up in the wall, with 4 other guys taken out by the board? i lold

dudes, u gotta be a capable rider. be able to handle yourself AND your board.

It's like the Matrix - everyone bodyslams the OHCP wall on their first run.....

XD

Pure win, nuff said, prof

let me elaborate, i don't have problems pushing on a freebord, the only problem would be keeping up with longboarders cos you just can't get the same consistent speed on the flats. however, i love bombing the city so someone suggested trying the bomb squad. thursdays are a problem for me atm anyway. you ever do any other nights?

give it a shot, if its too hard/different/what ever, go home

otherwise stick around and rock n roll

lol freeboarding scbs
