    you would only be able to do one run though and its not exactly safe to do it without a car oscar
  • Gilbert

    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.
  • Oscar

    Too fast.
  • Dale

    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

    Dani

    Not the saturday thing the friday thing. the one that TO FAST!
  • Oscar

    Well lets find a car then!
  • Gilbert

    nothing is too fast, just gotta get comfortable at that hill, but yeah the one lane is dodgy, i really wish there was a way to close off the road.
  • Oscar

    You dont need a car to go to inverness, but it would be easier, and the other road you do apparently.

    DAMN STRAIGHT JUAN, I GOT MY EVO GOING SO I AM READY TO GO FAST
  • Juandiego

    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!!!!!
  • Oscar

    Juan is loving it! And Dale, there is a bus down the bottom which takes you to the top.

  • Premium Member

    Fendy

    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.

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    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.

  • Premium Member

    Ching

    that's a horrible tuck. I'm off uni at 3 tomorrow we should do something earlier too. Wayne is coming as well. He needs to know the official time
  • Gilbert

    the leather still needs to be stretched out abit ok. i'm free the whole day tomorrow, i suggest we hit fitzroy first tomorrow.

  • Premium Member

  • matty leadfoot

    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.
  • Gilbert

    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.
  • Oscar

    Haha leadfoot.

    Hey well guys im recording tomorrow and will probably get home at 5ish, so maybe we should go to fitzroy at like 5?

    By the way Gi, nice leathers.
  • Oscar

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    i am so lost with what is happening, someone decide on a full set of plans

  • Premium Member

    Ching

    well this is what im planning to do:

    head to fitzroy gardens around 4 and skate til we get hungry, grab a bite and some beer, and then head to flinders for more skating!

  • Premium Member

    Fendy

    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.

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    cool i will come to fitzy round 4, go get drunk, skate flinders and continue to drink
  • Ben Shane

    sean... are you ACTUALLY coming to drink? hahaha... we can do that properly another time.
  • Ben Shane

    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.
  • Oscar

    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.

    DEAL OR NO DEAL BITCHES.
  • Oscar

    Man im so fucked.

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    deal oscar, i just checked the raydar we should be fine with weather, it looks like it will clear in 2 hours 3-4 at most
