    i could do some clipboard holding or any contribution needed for the carpark chaos.
    do note i can cruise to each carpark but nothing fast nor gnarly, cannot cause any more damaging!

    cheers bro, you're a top bloke. thanks for all your work at Collingrove, everyone one else seemed to disappear and left you to try and sort it out. you sounded keen to organise an event yourself, i look forward to it! :)

    Hi Matty,

     

    I'm a journalist with The Advertiser and we are interested in doing a story on the increasing popularity of longboarding. It would be great to get a story out there from the perspective of the longboard community, rather than hearing the reports from police all the time about the legalities etc. We'd love to do a piece on the thrill of the sport, whether you need dedicated tracks, battle with law enforcement etc and get some great pics. If identification is an issue, there are ways we can make you annonymous. Please let me know if this is something you would be happy to be a part of. If we can get a handful of longboarders together for a chat and some action photos etc it would come together really well. You can contact me in the office on 8206 2429 or on email at hydeb@adv.newsltd.com.au

     

    I look forward to hearing from you.

     

    Cheers, Ben

    hey matty,

    i understand you've organised an event in adelaide, if you are interested in getting some "roo" merch for the winner we may be able to work out somethinf thats mutually benefitial (spelt that wrong). few sets of wheels and some shirts or something along those lines as well as increased publicity for us and you.

    if you are interested email me all the details concerning the event..ie who will be there ect.....cheers dude

    priceless words from paragluiders

    Compare the price to the cost of a prolonged hospital stay

    -Consider the nightmare of being a vegetable

    -You will never regret buying and wearing a quality helmet

    -Remember, your brain is priceless!

    do you know what helmets are being banned. im just waiting for us standards to get badk to me on joules on ASTM F1952. i hope the new helmet isnt banned or the hop shop can have it back . looking at that table bell wedges may have only been tested to 90 joules. predators are just pushbike helmets that look cool at least charlys have been tested to earlier motor bike standards.t8s still tryimg to get info  to work out the testing

    how they test impact in joules and how many hits  on ASTM F1952

    murrah

    being into luge helmets are a prob newer bike helmets are all chin so you cant lay down and see where your going. gluider helmets are the best shape low chin good vision light weight but its a bit of a brain melt sorting out standards.

    know this guy came from agra

    From the ABC:

    A teenager has been arrested for an alleged 'street luge' prank in Adelaide in which an oncoming vehicle had a narrow-miss.

    Police using a speed detection device on Old Norton Summit Road at Auldana allege a man on a luge headed downhill towards them.

    They said a vehicle driving up the hill passed the luge on a bend where there were double white lines on the road.

    Police have arrested a 19-year-old man from Eden Hills in Adelaide and charged him with riding a recreational device on a road and other offences.

    Officers have warned such behaviour is illegal on public roads and highly dangerous.

    SA Police released video of the incident on their website.
