Yo. So I'm basically looking for some new hills in my area. I've got a few which are fun, but want to try a few more. I'm looking for places around Hawthorn, Camberwell, Surrey Hills etc. Nothing too hectic steepness or traffic wise, but something to get the blood pumping and some casual sliding. Oh and if you wana kick it at any of these places, I'm most def down for a shred most of the time-just hit me up! Either comment or msg me! Cheers. OJ.See More
Oliver 'OJ' Smith replied to Lucah Byron's discussion 'MAKEING A MOVIE, NEEDING GOOD PLACES IN MELBOURNE ( DH )'"Riverside in the city is a cool park with its open bowl-real easy to use a longboard on. Box Hill skatepark's also mad. What kind of riding are you doing?

Oliver 'OJ' Smith posted a discussionOrangatang Wheels
Hey Crew.So I'm building my new Longboard piece by piece. I'm looking into getting a set of Orangatang wheels, cause from stuff I've read about, and some personal experience on mates boards, they seem to be really good all-purpose wheels with enough grip for casual bombing, but enough slip to bust slides and speed checks. What I want to know is which type? As far as I can tell, there's: Baluts, Fat Free, Stimulus, 4President, In Heat and Durian. What's the basic difference between type, size…See More

"Oliver,
It should be dry by summer.
There is water seepage from the vacant lot which will need a few hot days to dry, and the slippery algae will persist while there is water.
Best to hit Bulleen instead."
