JudgeK knows one near Salisbury, there is also one at Marion. (top of Sturt Creek??)
Personally they are both a bit rough.
Try the skatepark bowl near Paradise Community Church. It has a roll in and a great curved transition. Better than the ditches I know of.
sorry, i always read comments and stuff on my page, get distracted and then forget reply. i personally don't know of any ditches in Adelaide. the best person to ask would be Matty or JudgeK
depends on the carpark dude. most close around midnight, so if your happy to get there at about 11:45 and like you said jam the door and wait for it to close then go for it. but we never get to do that cos people generally have stuff on early next day. the Target carpark is good for that though, cos it closes at 10 on weekdays and you won't need to jam the door. just get in before it closes and you'll be sweet for the night.
i've only used them once (nicko has one puck) and that was in the rain. they slide amazingly, but they feel rough under the hand and i'm not sure, but might be a bit too slippery in the dry. you might have to test em out yourself.
i suggest you try beveling the a bit to get rid of the edges and i always prefer velcro for pucks. ask nicko about the velcro, cos thats what he used on his.
its not a hard road dude. actually it seems quite easy. your just going straight, and you probs will be lucky to hit 100k's on it really... 3k's at 11% on a straight road, all you need to do is hang on till u get to the bottom... remember speed wobbles are a state of mind
ok then. for a board that size you'd definately want the smaller hangers... 139's would be ridiculously big for it... for slalom we use boards around the 31"-35" mark, and we still run trucks with hangers as narrow as 105mm and they fucken rock ay... so fun to go pump around town on slalom boards
your easiest option would be the double trackers. The bennetts are a pretty tall truck so you would have to mess with the wedges to get the right axle height on both trucks... the tracker rtx/s is the simplest option for you. If your looking at setting up a slalom board go for the 105mm trucks, they are sick for pumping and can also handle slalom courses. What sorta board are you putting em on?
doesnt matter who your asking for about the gear but with those prices your dreaming... i might sell you a set of o-tangs that are compelete triangles for $40... even those you can recycle by flipping them and wearing out the other edge. and even so i probs wont do them for $40...
