we did check a few other roads out up near dandy but they didn't turn out to be any good. there's fern gully road, i think, that we could check out, steep and fast, but i reckon inverness is actually pretty good if we could actually bomb from top to bottom.
yeah, I'm not a fan of the single lane then double lane then single lane config of it though..i mean, it's a great hill, but it's just scary that there's no way to ensure you wont run into the front of a car
yeah man thats good. i saw you , you are In of the Newton's Playground Now you have to take advantage of your skate to the maximum.go to get speed!!..and YOU KNOW IT!!!!!
There is no 1 bus at the bottom which takes u to the top. You have to take 2 buses and there's about a 1 hr wait between the 2 buses. Friday is gonna be pouring rain according to the mountain's forecast. For inverness you won't need anyone to spot if u got someone to drive. It's best that the person driving drives in front of the riders to spot for any on coming cars at the single lane area. That run is too fast for any car to catch up from behind anyways. There's a speed limit of 50 when u can go well over 60.
haha it is improving, i actually didn't have to read through his post a second time to understand, sweet juan. on a side note, i'd really like to see sean go fast.
Time for thusrday night? i wouldnt mind an earlier start 7.30 at hungery jacks or a pub or something so we can grab a feed and/or a drink before the skate
sick leather, who besides me oscar and dani is coming tomorrow night, i reckon we go beer delux or the tile first before going to fitzroy gardens or flinders carpark.
I'll bring in the FSU and d/seed with randalls on the train,
finish work about 3, meetin steve.mhs at town hall bout 3-4, for a few mins.
Then go wherever?
Not sure yet when Dani's comin in to the cbd.
Gilbert, thats what I call carpet bombing! hahahaaaa
You guys watch out, .....that kid,.... Dani,... is nuts!! :D
If you ride with him make sure you know your limits and stick to them. Dont just follow him down some hill.
Sorry,... I just had to say my bit as a grumpy old man. I worry too much.
....Just want you all to ride safe.
I'd be hitting at least 75kph there is it weren't for the damn friction between urethane and carpets :P
No worries, we won't be doing anything crazy, we know our limits (which aren't really high). I doubt we'll be hitting any real hills due to bad weather this weekend anyway. Thanks for looking out for us though.
and this is wut I'M planning on doing. Finish class at 4, go home and get some sleep because i didn't get any the night before due to assignments and tests, wake up at around 7ish and head to city for carpark sesh.
I'll be coming 5-ish plus guys.. got something on in UNI first.
I think organising it at 4 is ching's and g's (see! they repeat each other's comments) way of making us skate in daylight.. since we'll all be an hour late anyway.
Ben, drinking and skating go hand in hand. Sean i like your idea.
I will be getting into the city at about 6, this is when i think you guys should stop skating fitzroy and go get food and beer with me. So basically when i get to you guys, we go get food and drink.
oh just so you know i am making some stickers right now if you want them 'Melburn- were not afraid to cry' 'Melburn- I AM ON A BOAT MOTHER FUCKER' and 'Melburn- sean loves oscar!'
anyone keen on going for the High Grade Safari thing in NZ? I'm very tempted to once they get the dates sorted. I can only do half the tour cause I'm leaving melbourne on the 9th December
