Melbourne Sessions!

Rules are different depending on the airline ur taking. Check their website. I'm pretty sure for most airlines, sporting equipment must be checked in.

they consider the board a potential "weapon" last time i checked.

if your flying jetstar just get the sporting equipment baggage (its like 30 bucks) put it in a padded box duct taped together and check that in, i took 2 boards, 3 sets of trucks and 2 sets of wheels to sydney for that much $$$

thanks guys.... i guess i can't check it in as hand luggage so i'll have to check it in as sporting equitment... thanks again :)

anybody, keen to roll next sunday night (queens b'day)? fitzy or carparks, bombing if its dry, carparks if wet?

not this weekend, but during the week i am keen alex

yeah i know you are man, ive got thursday off if that helps

Rupert, this ahs probably occured to you but i would definately put your board in some sort of covering, board bag or like sean's stylish box and foam thing. My brother's cricket bat once got shreded going through the luggage process, and that was in the "special" luggage dep.

Rupert what ever you do dont let them put a fragile sticker/tag on it because you are then admitting that it is fragile and that they are not liable for any damage done. i found this out the hard way......

and if you don't put a fragile sticker on it and they break it they'll say "we didnt' know it was so fragile?"

0.0

everyone really do hate longboarders

get a body bag or park bag and wrap your board and trucks with clothes or leathers if you have them.

all the protection you need.

thanks all... i'm just going to find a long carboard box and put the deck in with paper/clothes and put the trucks and wheels in my suitcase.. :) so stoked am going to be skating the swiss alps in two days! :D

Rupert, I am very jealous hahaha, stay safe and have fun, post some videos up aswell from your trip, take care

good luck dude, i heard the cops up there are pretty strict when it comes to skating on their mountain roads.

thursday there will be some gnar shredding going on alex, me and ben are hooking up for a skate after i go to brunswick street with you and maddy so just bring your board and come once we are done

sean. wats happening thursday and what time? i can be in the city by around 3 30 4?

yeah meet up some time around then, it will pan out as it pans out, i might be shooting off to lorne at like 7ish so just shred the gnar and play it by ear

sean mate im not sure if i still can skate, i have to clean my room, but we'll see

LOL. Then clean your room now!

i will speak to you about it soon, i might not be able to skate thursday either the way its looking

just going to skate riverside skatepark at 2ish

also i will be gone at about 4

hey guys, i recently bought some 74a and 78a reflex bushings.
THEY'RE TOO HARD! =[

I couldn't even turn properly and i was using my dervish. any thoughts? I talked to stphen and he said he didn't have a problem with them. and he runs like 80 plus duros. My 83a venoms are much softer!

umm, do they feel soft in your fingers? check your pivot cups and dude worst comes to worst i have some khiro bitch's that we could work out a deal with (those things turn crazy hard

also i found out i gots no uni tomorrow so if anyone is up for gnar shredding let me know

What trucks u running them on? Wut kinda bushings? I think barrels wouldn't go well with the dervish. It's a narrow board. Try flipping washers. If u can't get use to them I'll swap you some SHRs

sean- wtf, pivot cups? and nothx to khiros.. i've had enough of them, i'm moving up int he world form bushings that jsut go squish to bushings that apparently don't squish at all. 0.0
Ben - the bushings do feel really hard. like its not the set up. I've squeezed them and they don't give. 0.0 the 83a venoms have some squashines to them at least. Which is what i don't get. they should not be this hard at all. =[
fendy- barrels. Flat wshrs, can't be flipped. and.. what SHR's you got?? i'm keen. especially if they're 83a and below.

if you have a busted pivot cup or a pivot cup that has warped then it can stop your trucks turning properly, dude send them back, if they are not the duro they claim to be, they should be easy to squish at that duro

IF i had a busted pivot cup, I'd have problems turning with all my bushings. But thanks for thinking outside the box.

They are the right colour for what they should be. =[ they just seem really hard for some reason.If you left bushings on the shelf too long might they go hard?

I need to check the duros but the shrs are definitely soft. I've got yellow green blue and red. Some are too soft for me. That's y I wanna get rid of them. They're all tall cones tho. If ur after lean, these are wut u want. Unfortunately, I won't be able to show them to u till after I get bak from US so hold on to those reflexes if u can.

Pax5 activates genes that enable BCR signalling capacity like BLNK and CD19. Represses blimp1 and thus inhibiting differentiation to plasma cells.

dude ben, when i was messing with wayne's bushings the 80a ones were squishy as hell, if you cant squeeze then with your fingers then there's something wrong with them

Fendy... ima listen to G email the kinda people of boardshop. Hopefully they won't mind that the bushings have been slightly used (how else was i supposed to find out?) Unless you really want 4 pieces of urethane rock candy. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but I couldn't take a simple 90 degree turn following a sidewalk with them.

ya get them checked out.

Just felt the need to post this again...

Hay guys a little off subject but im moving to melbourne on the 22ed on this month and an looking for a flat to move into so if ya know anyone who needs a flat mate let me know cher cher

try looking on gumtree.com.au set location to melbourne. you'll have better luck there. =]

can anyone get me home after Friday night CHC? hahaha.

hey im interested in that skate on saturday, but i have no idea where the melton spillway ditch is at. can anybody give me explanation? thanks!

If u don't have your own car, you will probably need to find someone to take you. It's not easy to get to and public transport can only take you part of the way. The ditch is south of Melton at the dam.

Who's coming to springy tonight??

The most RAD will be at Springy.

Ditch could be too wet to skate, so we will go to Monash car-park for some cones.
Winfer will update on Charlie and here before 7pm

Melton looking OK for this afternoon

just picked up my dangeruos criminal, i have never seen a board so beautiful! and pete who makes them is the nicest bloke ever...
just puting it out there....

anybody keen for a roll this evening? fitzy? carparks?

just came back from CHC, too beat for a roll. Melton is sick by the way, all you guys should definitely come out next time you'll love it
