Alex

Ha, that header graphic!
Welcome!

dude you got the sector with the sweet joint rolling tray in the bottom. thats a sweet deck. nice one.

hi mate good to meet ya in Canberra, if you ever want to hit up tallwoods give us a shout!

yeah mate ive skated that a fair bit, when i was working in forster last year, i would go up and slalom up the top, its a nice slalom hill, even the main road that turns off kularoo is super fast if you go up round the bend even to it looks pretty flat, but that corner that drops off and sweeps left that comes out as you enter the estate is cool, havent really skated it hard tho,, need a traffic spotter!

nice vid alex, thats the section i meant, but continuing down and then sliding left at the bottom, nice slide man! im shit on the toe side, i will have to hit up some practice

Alex i skated palms estate today and axed myself about five times high siding on corners so am totally sore, but on the way home i cut off at rainbow flat and bombed the old highway that has been bypassed, not too steep but about like Linden times 3 (length) with a couple of corners pretty roughish surface but even (pretty sharp in places so i skted it slow, but with leathers i reckon it would be awesome!!

Yeah ive just got an avenger with randal 35/50's its kinda my allrounder! Got some old ass leathers that give me wicked cameltoe in a tuck and a decent full face, havent done too much full on downhill tho, wouldnt mind giving bathurst a crack this year so i need to do some practice!

hey thanks for the encouragement. i guess i just got to try and get out more nights after work. some times i dont get to skate decently for week and a half and i really start to notice a bit of regression then. its hard to motivate myself tho, after a day at work its too easy to say 'fuck it i'm too tired' and just go home.

no can do man... i know i have a massive stash of wheels now but the thing is most of them i need to use for DH... and i dont split the duros in DH so i really wanna keep them all in sets of 4... im not going to be selling much this weekending only like 3 sets and they are all pretty much spoken for (including urs) so i can do either orange or purp... what wheels do u have on ur slalom board at the moment?

Alex, i have a bit to get through tomorrow, i will give you a call mate in the arvo cause either late tomorrow or anytime wednesday Im keen (even tho Im technically at work!!) I actually was skatin the park from about 5.30 to 6.30 this arvo

skated that big dipper at tallwoods today in my leathers, worked my way up to your mark on the first side, holy shit! that is the fastst i have ever been on a skateboard for sure, didnt go right around the corner on the other side without a spotter tho, it was good to see you skate it mate it has pushed me to go faster!!!!!

alex fox has the decks in Sydney so no shipping cost contact fitz to grab the deck .

Hey Alex, sorry for the delay, busy moving house, you'll find the guy "Blas" at Mad Industries.com or his number is
0434395861 he's in Tempe, nice guy, he's getting into luge and buttboard too.

PAT

Dude, Jacko and Ramon ripped the shit out of Tallwoods today in a quick session, got some good footage.

The big main hill on the way in top to bottom mega slides! Bombed the big dipper thing top to bottom and did all the connecting paths around the big dipper with some gnarly big stand ups, also filmed the driveway up the top of the dipper at the front door of that house with a mega slash on the driveway and then dropping the shute together with scissoring standup sldes looked RAD!

hey man hows it going?

yeah im on my second week of holidays now.
just been bodyboarding and skating,
nonstop.
so tiried ay.
sick photo of you on here haha,wheres that at?

Hi Alex,sorry to hear about your stack,I suppose you can call it a learning curve.Any who I was wondering where you got the visor for your bell helmet?

yo bro,hows the knee doin?ya far away from gettin back on the board?dude next year im gunna drag your ass up to beat the bastard no matter what,was a sik weekend,so much fun,you would of been in your element,anyway good luck recovering bro ,cant wait to roll with yo again soon,,

owww man... you went to hospital??>? what happened?

Picture 771.aviDude, this is that run i was telling you about up at comboyne, put in 1952 Comboyne road Comboyne nsw into google maps and check street level and follow the run all the way the bottom, i didnt have pads or leathers when i was riding this corner as i was trying to dial it in before smashing it on a bigger run, of course i ate shit!

Damn, sucks that you got put out of action for a while. Hope you;re getting back into it soon!

Work's going fine... even as a microslave the hours aren't too bad. i'm usually out of work by about 6-ish. daylight saving at the moment so I have heaps of time to [swim/bike/skate/rockclimb] cos it doesn't get dark til like 9.

Keeping up with the skating, but its just different stuff. Miss those thursday night cruises... seattle's downtown sucks bigtime for that -- shitty pavement everywhere, *vertical* hills & security-infested carparks -- but i've been keeping my stoke up with regular cruises along a nearby bike trail, visits to local skate parks, a slalom event or two, and just cruising to and from the bus every day. many afternoons when work's sucking i go for a roll to the swimming pool, so at least I can continue that habit I got into back home! Couple of carparks nearby that are security-free but nothing like the number of spots we have back in sydney. Skated 50 miles on the weekend (http://www.ncdsa.com/contest_registration.asp?ContestID=414), that was pretty crazy, all push on one leg. My legs were ready to drop off after that. Going to shoot for 75-100 next time.

I'll be back in aus around november or december (likely november, as december is F*cking expensive). So make sure I have your shopping list (or anyone else who wants me to pick up some gear here) by about the middle of october, to account for delays/etc. in getting shit shipped to me.

Cool grab shot at the top of your page, where is it?

Seeya around mate and say hi to everyone for me

great vid bro looks like you where having fun. see you soon

come kiera tuesday.

alex rippin on the evo from nathan paff on Vimeo.

the slalom was a bit of a disappointment. i didnt have a board set up for a course like that, it was tighter than anything i'd done before so i kept dqing from hitting too many cones. been putting it off long enough, time to get myself a proper slalom setup instead of trying to half-ass it all the time. as for the push race, finished middle of the pack. got the stamina but not the speed.

cant wait to get back home and try new skills in old places. i want to come down to your area too and try all those housing developments i see in your videos and the sutho railway station garage

i've gotten a couple of my friends over here onto longboards and out skating i have run into a few other people around who are moderately serious about it (i.e. not boardwalk-cruisers). a crew is taking shape!

that video is fucking awesome btw. just when i thought the last video is good, you guys take it to the next level. 180's on dervishes both ways in one lane wide, it boggles my mind. i see the crew's growing a bit too!

whats going on brother, hope your weekend away was sick i had a great wedding wit perfect weather, give us a call to organise a sesh in the next few days would be good before i get a job.

sic dude,new leathers eh,youd be hanging to give em a go on some epic hills i would imagine.,havent got my killswitch yet,probs get it next few days,ill let you kno what i think....hittin some hills next week before chc-pumpstation,try to come if u can,i so wanna check them leathers out...laterbro

yeh bro,rode killswitch on wedsday on some tech/gnar and it was awesome,id never rode it atall prior to my first run that day and was throin heelside checks with ease,every run from then it was just feeling better and better.,totally different to what ive been used,but epic,.definately kills corners,and easier to standup surf style no hands thru corners/sweepers......hangin to catch up this weekend bro,gunna be radfun...

good to hear that your been riding your killswitch,i havent really had much of a chance to freeride much on mine,just getting it dialled at a bit of speed is all ive managed,just been riding kiera n waterworld on it each week...i dropped the spherical out of my smokies and got rid of the kingpin grind issue..but ive just put 184 Kaha's on my k/switch and now need to get used to them,put smokies on glyde,..any way so much tech goin on all i want to do is get used to all the changes before bathurst...spewin i should be at the pumpy now with u guys but im stuck home waitin for my car to be fix...faaarrrrkkk...cheers bro
