We meet up whenever two or more people are free so there'll likely be session soon. Where abouts are you staying? Would be great to have another international come skate with us.

Chisholm isn't too far from banks or O'malley if you have a car. You're set! I'll just point out at this point if you show up to a sesh without a helmet and gloves be prepared to be made fun of (possibly pinched). Still come though! We'll lend you stuff if you don't have it. We have a few sets of gloves and a few helmets about. And a shorter board should be fine at O'malley, no idea about banks though, I've never skated there.

Yea well...Ive definitely never skated with helmets or gloves. Im still a newb in yall's eyes prolly. I just carve hills I havent tried my hand at all the sliding switching feet touching the ground with your hands stuff. Looks like Ive got a lot to learn. Awesome. Where would I get a helmet and gloves?

Helmet is easy. Head to a bike store (they're all over Canberra) or a skate shop. There is one in Tuggeranong (near Chisholm) called Trilogy and two in the city center called Adrenaline plus and Shifty's respectively. You may get lucky and find gloves at the skate shops but there's no guarantee. Otherwise you can make some (I recommend this for your first pair) or buy some from any of the site sponsors you see on the right of this page. Most have free shipping I think, but hopkin is closest to Canberra so it may be your best bet if you wanna buy. But you will likely shred them pretty bad so making them is the road I'd take if I was you. Just so a search here or on silverfish for info on making gloves.
