can you make it? if not tell me the days your free and well work around it

thats his email and he owns a skate shop called cre8ive sk8
the demonseed is a very nice deck. from what ive read its got a big standing platform and double dropped so nice and low.
send him an email asking if hes got any in stock
let me know how you go

At 13:05 on August 28, 2008, Dale said…: G,day bud ! I had a look around at some decks and am dead keen to get one .Im pretty impressed with the rayne demonseed.What do ya reckon ? this dudes email address is it a retail outlet,because the sooner I get set up the sooner I can push a bit harder

At 22:48 on August 27, 2008, Dale said…: Ta muchly dude ,I will have a look around and get back y to ya!!!

At 22:32 on August 27, 2008, kristian said…: nah the only longboards around here are stock sector 9's in surf shops. theres a shop in QLD that have speedboard decks for around $200 delivered which is a good price. let me know when your gonna buy one and ill get you his email. as far as speedboards go you cant go wrong with the landyachtz evo. thats what i ride and absolutely love it. trucks, wheels, bushings and bearings are gonna set you back about another $200 so $400 and you've got a kickass speedboard
i could lend you trucks, wheels and bearings (good ones too) if you wanna buy the deck and trucks in separate payments.
go to www.daddiesboardshop.com and have a look at the longboard decks. go to rayne and landyachtz. kebbek are sick boards but hard to get over here. choose the decks you like and tell me and ill give you the low-down on each one. dont buy from US as shipping kills you.
so yeah have a look and tell me which decks you like

At 18:30 on August 27, 2008, kristian said…: there isnt much here that i would describe as tame and if they are they are too short. the way i got comfortable at speed was to just go as hard as i could, but thats not for everyone and ive had some pretty hard spills from it, so yeah. theres a place in the blue mountains that have sessions planned every now and then. that would be the best place to get used to the speed because its blocked off to traffic. ill let you know when the next session comes up. you also might want to invest is a pure downhill board.. makes it a lot easier. let me know if you want to spend the $$$ and ill help you choose a setup thats right for you.

At 12:15 on August 26, 2008, Dale said…: No worries matey!!! I work as a paramedic Dapto station,Ive got a sic roster 2 day shifts,2nights,and then 5 off so im pretty flexable.Hope you know a few tame runs Im still replacing skin because of my cockiness from huntly hill at west Dapto

At 11:44 on August 26, 2008, kristian said…: nah man i dont head out that way much so never seen it. the wollongong hospital carpark is probably the best carpark i've skated so yeah check that out if you got the time. let me know whenever you wanna have a go at downhill ill show you some sick runs

At 20:32 on August 24, 2008, kristian said…: yeah mate theres a few boarders around the illawarra just gotta look hard haha. i got a few boards.. one for downhill one for freeride and one for crusing. yeah you should come along to the next mt kiera session, the sydney blokes are great guys
