    Not skating related but other than asking rock climbers i figured this was the right crew. I'm trying to buy a slackline but have no idea where to go to buy one, anyone here bought a slackline before and/or knows where to get one. Preferably i'd like a store but ordering online isn't a problem. Cheers guys

    Hey dude. What i did was went to bunnings and bought a 10m ratchet strap. The sort of line that truckies use to secure a load. then all you need is some good rope (make sure to use good rope or it will snap) or some climbing slings to throw around a couple of tree's and you're away! Way cheaper than an actual slackline and just as good!

    Hey guys. i just went looking for some good sights in perth. i used to have a cruser board but now im buying a downhill/sliding board on tuesday.
    i really want some good spots and someone to teach me how to slide, anyone able to help out?

  • Premium Member

    You will need a helmet before anyone on here will help you.

  • sam hutchings

    @reissmackay

    if you want some help starting out, theres usually a big group of people who go to the city every wednesday night and skate the stackers there. Would be a good way to learn cos its all pretty mellow. anyway, add me on facebook or something if you want deets. 

  • Jacob Greenhalgh

    just wondering if anyone's gonna organize another event in Perth sometime soon?


  • Premium Member

    Ian McGlynn

    yep.

  • Max Barker

    Is there a way we can ask the kalamunda council to close zigzag hill and lascelles parade to cars  every now and then, like once a fortnight or month??? so we can do it safely without endangering ourselves and other road users.


  • Premium Member

    Ian McGlynn

    No. Unfortunately Perth's local councils are not open minded OR forward thinking enough to even consider something like this.

    David Evans

    Australind is South of Perth isn't it??


  • Premium Member

    Ian McGlynn

    Hey Michael. You are out of luck mate, Australind is flat as flat can be. I would suggest investing in a park board and learning to skate a mini ramp.
