Tyler the youngest of all the groms at 9! super solid little tuck and sic race lines make him one to watch!

Stoked to wake up to near perfect race conditions and with no time to lose I smashed a banana, hopped in the car and headed out to a rad little race hill stashed away in the blue mountains.

Videos, Pictures and other stories have surfaced from the Brisbane Freeride Event, so I thought I would take the time to write a more in-depth recollection.

The creation of this particular event began roughly two months ago through a facebook group. When it first began it was merely an idea, but the group quickly grew. Monday the 19th of September at Coronation Street in Bardon, was established as the time and place.

After a heap of discussion through Facebook…

Over the past 2-3 years the longboarding scene round Brisbane, the Sunshine and Gold Coast and Australia in general has just blown up like crazy. 

We thought it was about time, we got some of the experienced riders, groms and in some cases mini-groms together for an all out fun freeride. 

The day kicked off at about 8:00, with the exception of Millzy and Ben who managed to get their ages before anyone else. Groups of sunny coast kids, mainly featuring the Grom…

After an awesome day at Toohey Tracks the day before, we all dragged ourselves out of bed when it was still dark to head up to the hill.  We fixed up the worst corners guard rail with some nice soft foam and it was pretty much a race ready to go, all we needed was skaters...

We were expecting 32 riders a couple of days beforehand but rumours of it being a bust spooked many and so we were left with a handful of awesome local and Gympie boys, plus Gemma (who was speeding down…

Its been 8 months and 4 races since we moved up the coast, each week the local crew has been growing and each race the talent has been improving, as far as outlaws go we have been very lucky and amazingly we have never had a major accident or been shut down. Just heaps of fun, prizes and good times had by all.…

The title of the report is pretty lame "Longboarders risk lives to prove a point", but the the actual clip is finally done by a very generous and sympathetic reporter who gives your side of the story.

We are super stoked with it and hope this might lead to something positive.
