Sydney Downhill Madness
Sydney downhill does not exist. No one skates down mountain roads. Everyone here sticks to the suburbs and local bombs. There are no good downhill runs in sydney. Everything is flat.
Please do not ask where to go skateboarding, because we dont know. We dont actually skate in sydney, we all ride scooters...

Just trying to spread the word Ryan - isn't that the point of this thread?! you know, a session is happening in Sydney... with some guys... on a hill... with skateboards......
Sorry, I didn't realise I was on silverfish here but thanks for your constructive criticism
Its on Henry Lawson Dr, Landsdowne. It's not a serious hill but its a bit of fun
Ryan 'RY RY' Peterson said:nice copy and paste!
the Demon said:This Saturday a few of us are having a casual ride day at Lansdowne bike track, Skateboard, luge, buttboard, you name it. All are welcome to come. The hill is fun and great for all levels of experience and there will be plenty of spare gear so if you don't have any come along. I'm sure there will be a bit of racing invilved.
Might get a BBQ happening too.
Bring along protective gear, food and drink.

landsdowne is hotmix, super smooth but often has a few leaves on it. The run's only about 600m with 4 banked corners, top speed is around 55-60kmh. Its a good mix of corners and easy as since there's no traffic to worry about. Hope to see some people there on saturday

Hey Ben, Lansdowne is a beautiful hotmixed track (resurfaced about a year ago) Last year we held Gravity groove(casual freeride day with alot of stacks) there and had maybe 20-30 riders show up. It would be awesome for a slalom event however it isn't near much public transport. Last year Bugs setup slalom there which seemed pretty cool. it is similar to the pump station in width and probably skill level. with an up hill at the bottom so you can also ride back. there is a mad corner that is banked in. you'd hit about 60km p/h. I just thought today, it'd be good to have a get together and freeride to top the year off. The Sydney luge crew ride there regularly and take alot of new riders there.
I thought i'd open the invitation to anyone who wanted to come along and share the fun.
Ryan..... 5 years ago there was no forums or sites for riders to meet or talk about what they were doing! the only way to survive was to use your initiative and contact everyone you knew so that you could keep the sport going. while your observational skills are remarkable, can you back it up by showing some networking skills? This sport is not like street skateboarding where you can get your parents to buy you the coolest gear and stand by the side of the skate park and be king Sh*t for the day. You have to get in there, meet new riders and hit the hills falls included. Good or bad riding, this downhill community stays together because we open our arms to everyone. If you come that'd be great as you will have the opportuniy to meet some Aus top downhill riders who competed at newtons and have experience, if not keep your smart arse comments to your Myspace or Twitter account.

landsdown is pretty rad for the begginers to try out new boards and get into it. theres no traffic and you can get a nice little bost of speed if you wanna tuck it, a few small bends, just a bit shorter than pump station but its fun if your a newbie
