    Hi Cameron, I dont believe there are any skatable roads in kalamunda.  They are all too fast and gnarly without adiquate run outs!

    hey guys, anyone have any sugestions on really fast downhill bearings. wanna spend around 50-60 bucks.


  • Premium Member

    Ian McGlynn

    Hey Michael. Get some Modus 5's, or 7's. They are $45 and $55 a set respectively. Both are really fast, robust bearings. Head over to Momentum Skate and check them out.

  • Ben George

    hey guys i just joined today and was wondering is anyone wants to meet up for a skate in the ardross area?

  • jack mcnamara-haendel

    ben, your best bet is to join the face book group https://www.facebook.com/groups/westausdownhill/

    this is where you will find most people willing to organise a skate session.

  • Harley johnston

    just added a request to your face book site look forward to chatting soon please accept the request!!

  • Andres Lopez

    Hi there, i am trying to follow the facebook link but it does not find it. may be my browser but just in case is there any other way to get to the facebook page? Cheers

  • Harley johnston

    we have many FB pages already man. there is over 1000 skaters in Perth.

    its just that this page isn't used a great deal by the younger generation.

  • Ben cundell

    Hey guys can any one tell me of any events coming up of some sort cos that would be good.

  • Adam Hill

    Jacks Attack is a downhill event which is on November 23rd I think and a race on the 30th Aug also, but that's already full unfortunately

  • Ben cundell

    thanks mate just checked out some youtube footage seems good 

  • Ben cundell

    Scott Bouyer

    Ben, I said to keep an eye out in the FB event page. Elijah posted there yesterday asking for volunteers. Contact him thru there mate.
  • Ben cundell

    only thing is i don't have FB so how can i get in contact?


  • Premium Member

    Scott Bouyer

    Get Facebook man. That's where the vast majority of things happen unfortunately.
  • Ben cundell

    yea alright 

  • Reece Hoskinson

    Does anyone here in the west still use this site?

  • Reece Hoskinson

    Hi there, not sure if anyone still uses this, but I'm wondering if anyone is interested in catching up for a skate north of the river (in Perth obviously)? I'm really looking for someone who has a rough idea about safety slides if possible (which I'm struggling to get down coleman's and I have no one in my area that can tell me what I'm doing wrong). I'd probably shout you lunch or something if anyone is interested.

  • Cheyne Pearce

    Hey crew!

    I'm getting back into bombing hills again after a few years out. My bro and I are interested in spots with low traffic (bit old for the risk of carnage) does anyone have suggestions? I saw something about Peace Hill in Mosy..

    Cheers legends!

  • Cheyne Pearce
