hey. longboarding was kool today.
soz u didnt find ur bag.
it was totally those worker guys

who found it?

im on my way to linden now hope to see ya there

Any time man, you have my number so give me a call if ya want to hit Linden

Yes I have done Linden, I hit it with leigh, Bow, nicko and my mate Andrew. We had 2 dervish races which was so cool

Do you want to hit it tomorrow?

well in that case go half yellows and half reds in the "downhill" set. that will do the trick. the only experience i have on anything other than Downhills is Super Carves and they turn as well as a slalom board, which is something you don't want at speed. the shape of the downhill's are much more suited to speed, whether its me on the board or you. If you want some carve to go with that, then go half yellows.
but its up to you. i test the equipment i buy to suit me, no one else. I really can't recommend what will suit you, especially since i haven't properly ridden with you before and have no experience on that board whatsoever. so do what you think is best and remember at the end of the day, you will adapt to anything. the willunga boys learnt on dervish's and worse and they can make it down their hill without any probs. its the rider that controls his board, not the other way round.

i thought you were putting them on a DH board? standards are more for carving not downhill.

get reds all round. for your weight greens are too hard and yellows are too soft.
there is no point just buying 1 pack (2 bushings) because you won't be able to properly test them out.
and make sure you get Venom Downhills and not Standard or Supercarve.

what board are you putting it on, what trucks will you be using them with and how much do you way?

i don't know what you mean by "bearing hardness".

I used to use finger pucks. Big ones for sliding. I like to use my fingers now.

Not sure whats happening today but ring me on 8337 1919 before you head out to linden today to see if im at Eagle or not

I use Big Zigs because they are good and I know them. I use yellow on the front and Green on the back for more grip. Not to sure about the Otangs yet. They are great wheels to.
Townsville ???

Hey Jonty
I do the whole of Eagle now but started from MTB car park and worked my way up. Like Andre said start just up from the first national parks gate on Montecute as that's where I started from and make sure you ride within the limits of yourself.
Good luck tomorrow

PS I MIGHT ride with you guys for a bit tomorrow

I have been longboarding for 10 years and 29 years in total. I started on a small plastic skateboard. I now ride a JimZ Kebbek board with Kooky trucks and Big Zigs...
How long have you been riding for? And what are you riding now?

I have some kelly race 39 1/2 inch , new spec 40 1/2

yeah man bin riding it for about a year got when we first went to the city for a garage sesh we thought it was the sickest carving board. but now i mainy use it for DH and Sliding

hey jonty my board brother you have to come to Willunga so i can how to really you that sector nine of yours.

why do u want risers on a dropped board? it just defeats the purpose...
