Long gradual and relatively safe hills for a newby!

Dear all downhill longboarder folk.

I have recently fallen in love with your sport and shelled out a stupid amount of money to get kitted up. I have some short and steep hills in my area to skate and improve my currently pathetic skill base but I'm looking for some longer, quiet roads to have a go at. If anybody could give me a list of possible roads to check that would be awesome. I live in Pennant Hills in Sydney's north west but have car and will travel. Can I just stress that I'm new to skating (still learning how to slide) but have confidence doing big carves on steep and wide enough roads - hope that makes sense.

Any helpful advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Ando

bro i live in beecroft, and there is this sweet little t-junction for you to learn your heelside and toeside slides. you can go as high or low as you want and its easy to spot cars with a buddy.

pm me for my number and we can organise sessions :)

Come to Church of Slalom this Sunday - nice hill, perfect for learning a few things, and no cars cos it's a bike track in a park.

Cheers mate. It sounds good but I can't get there this week as I'm heading up the coast. Next week?

Cool! I grew up in Epping. I recently found some good long and quiet hills in Cherrybrook but if you know someplace better I'm keen to have a crack! I'm on holidays at present so any day and most times are good!

Sorry James but I'm 'old school' and don't know how to do what you suggested - 'friend request' etc. If you can talk me through it then great. That T-section sounds good. I've been practising pre-drifts Toe and heelside and am making some progress - slowly!
