    *DRIFTERS*
    so guys, i checked out that run today and man its looking scarier then it did last time, its kinda steep up top and then just drops into the bottom hairpin which is a very very intimidating before running off for abit, the pavement isnt smooth... it aint rough either, its about perfect for sliding, i carved down it and did a few checks on it and its slippery pavement thats for sure.

    THIS ROAD SHUTS FROM CARS AT 5.30 EVERY NIGHT!!! thats right from 5.30 onwards this will not have a single car on it and its a double lane road. I reckon we check it out this week.... i could see a jam sesh going on here over summer when the days are abit longer.
    anyone who is keen let me know, its a few mins from my house and its an awesome spot, i snapped a few pics which i will facebook later on but they dont do it justice

    brimbank park is fun! i've skated there once and yeah the path is a bit rough but you have nice fluffy stuff to fall on the side. it's steep and narrow but you have a clear view of whatever is in front of you.

    good luck getting oscar to skate sean!
  • Alex Schulze

    Hey everyone here is the best recorded run from last night, http://www.vimeo.com/14343889
  • Alex Schulze

    and i'm very keen sean an excuse to finally destroy my otangs
  • Gilbert

    looks pretty decent sean, i've been there before, but havent seen that run, takes about 30-40 minutes by tram to get there from the city though, not 15-20, but might come check it out soon
  • Sam Humphrey

    sean is this run open to skate form 5.30 every night of the week? and for how long?

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    you have no cars from 5.30 to about 6am or something

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    gilbert, its about 5 mins past my place (if you get off at the bottom of the run) its around 20

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    ching, thats not brinmbank park..... its pipe makers park

  • Premium Member

    Ching

    i'm talking to brenton. but brimbank is another place you guys should check out. the road getting inside the park would be a sick dh run if you're into early grabbing speed bumps :p

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    speed bumps at speed? where i wanna go hit it
  • Nippon

    are there lights there?

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    there are no lights, In winter its more of a few runs spot because of the times we can ride..... i might try find out what time it opens up so i can go down there before they open the gate

    Pete Johnston

    Anyone want to buy a set of purple durians? used but very little. No wear, you can still see the stone ground surface. my friend wants around $60 for them
  • Alex Schulze

    Ight I'm about to go out to fitzy now, so give us a call and meet up with us there on 0402 202 653

    fitzy sunday night or carparks?
  • Gilbert

  • Tauran Black

    Is hemleys on next week?

    Anyone know where i can get a Tan Tien Complete cheaper than normal, or anyone thats sellin

  • Premium Member

    sean meaney

    G-bert, give me a text on 0400083729 tomorrow, if your not atleast make the carpark ride tomorrow night.

    Tauran, personally i would just go down to hemleys and get one with cheaper components, ie look at wheels that might cost abit less then o-tangs-retro but will still do the job, Hemleys have some gravity drifters and Fu-Manchu's which are cheaper then a set of durians and work fine, they are not the most amazing wheels ever but they run good and are not so bad on your pocket, Modus black bearings work fine too, you can save a few bucks on your bearings and wheels if you need to
