Peter Butler commented on Tim Day's event 'Gnar Path of Pins'"My board is fairly long though, so tight corners maybe a little tricky. I'll go up one day with Mason or someone and test it out. Figure out how loose I want my trucks and all.
Pretty keen though."
Peter Butler commented on Tim Day's event 'Gnar Path of Pins'"I'll hopefully make it. I'm super grom though, so I might go up earlier and test it out.

Well, we found this fun little path, and decided to have a fun little race on it. Its not fast, but it is fun! Think of dodgem cars but on skateboards going around tight corners! Will be $10 Entry, There will be butt board and standup races. $10 will be entry for both races/classes. Should be able to do a round robin type…See More

Hey, Me and my mate were skating today, and some guy directed us here. We both just started down hilling (and skating) just under a month ago, and I was just wondering if anyone knew any good spots to 'ween' ourselves into it. I'm hopefully getting some gloves soon, so also some good hills to learn and practice sliding on would be great. So any, nice and easy runs to practice and learn on? Hopefully getting progressively harder. Thanks,Peter.See More

There's heaps of cool hills to learn on around Wollongong. A lot are easier to get to if you've got a car. If you've got a helmet the security at uni are pretty cool with you skating around on weekends and after hours if you're in a small enough group. Whimbrel Avenue in Berkeley is a nice beginner hill. Creek Run in Cordeaux Heights is cool but a little busy. Theres one or two in Mangerton. A couple of smooth little runs in Austinmer.
I can't stress enough the need for a helmet hey. Not just for you guys' safety, but for the general image of guys riding fast on longboards. The more old ladies see guys skating around without safety gear, the more chance there is of old ladies calling the police on anyone skating around - even with safety gear.
