Tried to roll on it the other day and i didn't get much further than my driveway! - was a bit of a downer. Can't get the right movement out of it yet. Tried to get out in the water to strengthen it up but i couldn't even kick... that was a week or two ago though. Surf supposed to spike tomorrow morning from the SE so i'm out there i reckon.
I mean, it hasn't really been long at all... but i'm just itching to get it back to normal. No surfing and skating makes things a bit boring. - Especially when i'm out of work. Just got to keep my chin up and keep pushing my knee.
- and don't worry Benbro, soon as I'm confident on my knee i'll be smashing hills up all over the place with ya!
(I'm still hoping to ride at a few races later on this year but i'm not sure if my knee will sort itself out by then... here's hoping.)
Yo dude.
Its all good, dont really need it for anything anytime soon, ill just grab it off you next time we go for a shred at keira if thats cool man.
Also, we should go for a fish sometime.
talk to you soon
gab
Yea man Im good, wind blown down here in S.A. That sucks man, agreed with the whole scramble to enter. Thats why I wrote an e-mail to John, because I have already spent thousands in preperation to get over there so I thought it was worth a shot. Lucky for me he saw it from my point of view.
I knew it was you at M.O.T.H. There was another guy with leathers on very similiar to yours with lots of tatts and I couldn't remember which one of you it was. But like you said, Dadbro in the next round......
Well sorry to hear you didn't make rego's. Wouldv'e been good to skate with you again, had a blast on that last day in the snowies. Newtons it is then.... if we make rego.....
Ben Bro, I just got a message from Mary Hill's face book page saying there are still a couple of spots left for standup. Might be worth trying to register again.
Ye no sure that is ok i understand that u dont want to give the spot away and i didnt think like it that way so maybe when we get a bit better.
thanks.
Omni is only a deck at the moment, no wheels or trucks.
Jacko left his demonseed with me while hes gone so ill be riding that tomorrow.
Whats the weather like up your way?
Its pissing down rain in sydney, and i dont want to ride the demonseed in the rain, its starting to delaminate and i want to fix it up before i get any water into it
some guy on silverfish selling his entry.
Good for someone who missed out. Probably want to be quick.
"I have a mfos spot for standup its the open and/or 2nd junior class
it is for sale at $250
thanks
im selling it since i broke my thumb and the cast is coming off after the race
i have asked the mfos people and they told me to find someone to sell it to"
Have a look in our Maryhill thread and speak to Matty, he knows the details better than me.
No worries dude. There ar ALOT of hills over here to skate and I imagine your going to try and register for Bathurst as well. Mary hill isnt going anywhere, so you will hopefully get a chance next year to. Would be good to have you over there though.
so I have been in contact with a guy that wants to do some 3D video with Downhill Longboarders but he lives in sydney, have seen some of his 3D pics and I think that 3D video would blow peoples minds so I think we need to organise a run that he can come to.
Yeah dude. Bring em along. Depends how much is left on em but I should be able to salvage something out of em. I can give you back some bushes in trade if they work out. Can't wait for CHC. Party time away from the missus Ha!
How are ya Benbro? - You're setting up the killswitch for downhill eh? - I'm keen to make the purchase. Let me know how it rolls when you get a chance.
- Got my leathers this morning. Look sick. Heaps tight. Been wearing them around to get them to stretch. So stoked.
BenBro, hows shit. Wanna buy my smokies? Ha! Dude i've been thrashing around on them set up real loose (White JimZ bottom, yellow Elim top) and i'm doing some crazy kingpin 5 0's on cracks and driveways... I decided last night that i'm off em.
- I've just layed down a wad of cash for some Kaha's. This DH shit is killing me! Lucky i got a sweet as tax return... I wanted a 'go to' truck for freeriding and DH and the smokies are ok but not great.
Also, kinda getting my shit down on the Kill switch. Stand up speed checks are awesome, hands down slides not so good. Getting there though.
Thanks Buddy! Had a ball, thanks for all the advice too bro. Yeah I'll be on the lookout for the next sesh. Will start uppin the ante a bit now. See ya on the hill champion
Man i'm still on my smokies... Early has been waiting on stock and i haven't heard back from them. Getting close to two weeks now bro. I'm getting a bit worried eh.
- My order is all paid for, just playing the waiting game. Pretty fucking keen to get used to them before i fang down the side of a mountain! Hopefully taking a day off next week to come for a roll.
Hey mate, yeah indeed dude, can't wait to roll with you guys. Its going to be the best experience and learning curve just by travelling around with pete,Ash and skating with sydney crew. My shoulder is going good, it should hold up for newtons.
Will you be joining us at the snowys?
yo benbro, knees feeling alot better, should be sweet to skate this coming week
working on tuesday and wednesday till about midday on both days
we going down to 7pins/mcpass this week?
peace
grombro
Oh ok sounds good Ben, yeah I'm really looking foward to it actually, have only ever been out that way once but never had my head around skating.
it will be so rad aswell skating all the sessions around sydney fo sureee.
Benbro, not going to make up your way this weekend. Going to try and get a roll in tomorrow around here. Sorry for the gee up. - Seeya next Thursday mate.
I'm fair sure its a goer! Henry, Owen, Hugh and I will be there, and how long we are there for all really depends on wether the road works are done or not. Are you going to try and make it down?
Benbro we are definitely going to 7 pins tomorrow we are going to be there around 9:30 - 10. meeting at the same place we did last time!
Heres my number if you need to call me for anything 0402 850 369
Ben whats up bro! yeah that'd be rad as...though a whole week off school in year 12 for skating is a tricky one to get past the mother haha. But yeah I'm super keen on heading down south a few days before jackos jam, and hitting some hills with yourself. whats the closest airport to you? newcastle?? it is cheaper to get a flight from brissy to newcaslte then sydeny anyway ahah.
Yew sounds like a plan Ben, cheers for that bro, really did make it easy talking to you about it. willl look into flights and work something out and get incontact a bit closer to date and let you know details. Do you usually head to the s.c.b.s on the thursday night, would really be keen to hit one of those sessions up while i'm down your way. And i have the thursday off from school anyway so that might be the day I would arrive. It sucks that the MOTH is so soon, wish i had more notice........
Hows the fishing been going anyway?
oh ok cool as. yeah i could imagine, i want to get back to work as soon as possible so i can save up some dohh for skating trips and gear. That would be the best heading to danger bay. would be rad to see some more aussies head over there!!!! yeah ben.
thanks for the comment man. roads are pretty quiet there in the morning, but we do get the occasional provincial buses that cut into the wrong lanes, haha
Bennny, It was definitely a downer that I could get back to work sooner, One weekends work would of had me set, but I only put in my doctor cert. the other day to say I could come back to work and they have been slow to respond.......If I had the money you'd be the first one to know! Cheers for the offer bro........Hopefully I do get my job back and will be back in business. Will see you at Jackos jam for sure mate!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhh really bro, that sucks yeah the qld guys might want to know!! some of those groms would get whaled wearing only a leather jacket in the rain hahaha.
I was just checking the flights to get down south for Jacko's jam and the seats are feeling up pretty quick for the 25th of march which would be on the thursday. So i was just making sure incase i decided to book the ticket to get there while there still cheap and its with virgin blue, so you get 20kg free of weight which would suit me nicely! The plane would get in at Newcastle at around midday 12.20pm. The flights are looking a bit more for the way back but theres plenty to choose from!! cheers bro
Ok Benbro, cheers for that mate, Will have to build up my freeriding skills again they have gotten very low in gnar level since the accident.....Can't wait but!!!
My number is 0434564724.....just in case, Might give you a ring closer to the date than.
see if this works its pretty much the road just before kangaroo valley so you might be able to have a run on 7 pins before the race, free ride starts at 9 till 10 then we race.
