Hi Letus, I'm in the UK at the moment but emigrating around October time. I'm into a bit of longboarding as well as slalom, so hopefully we can hook up for a skate when i get there.
Any good hills around Perth that can be skated without too much hassle from the boys in blue?

yeah he's a good kid, I pretty much built his luge with some help from him over a few weekends, I tend to swap my wheels around a bit pending on conditions but the ABEC 11 pretty much stay on the board and 85mmkryptos on the luge. say g,day to him for me

yeah, got in contact with Pat a while ago when picking up some 92mm abecs, he,s since put me in touch with fella's up here but they either don't ride much or they arent interested in playing with anyone else but themselves, I've been up here nearly two months and havent been contacted for a ride, could'nt be bothered hassling them I'tll be good when I get back to the ACT in spring they've got a good friendly scene growing down there.

Hey John, let me know if you have any more details about the slalom race in Yokohama. That's not too far from me, and would be one of the very few opportunities for me to see some slalom.

i am looking for a board with a 19-21inch wheelbase that is not a long double kick. if anyone can suggest a board and where to get it in sydney would be much apreciated. i need a stiff board with atleast a kick on the back.
more general question. anyone know of any shops that might carry old school boards in sydney? other than manly blades of course (there today.)
need a new sliding board. really liked a black label (see riding techniques if interested.) but it's to short anyway could really use some help.

So I decided to stop my plunge into debt and hope for other races in far away lands- today I got this email.
Hello John,
Good Day.
Yokohama race is someday in October. The date is not fixed, yet.
This race will be smaller than Mt. Fuji's race. There will be about 20
to
30 contestants.
I went Seoul, Korea this March for the sports show. It seemed that
the
Skateboard market is very small.
I do not think there is slalom skate going on. So as other Asian
countries.
I am very interested in bring racers from Japan to US slalom events.
Please let me know the schedule.
Are you coming to Japan next month?

Welcome another program into the Skatrix.
Plug me in I'm going for the drop.

And in all Auckland I couldn’t find any pair at this size!!
(except at the price of 350NZ$ - I’m not a professional, I’ll satisfy with something cheaper)
Any suggestion??

on the weekend, me and a few mates went hunting around for some good hills to find and we found some, up near warrawee and wharonga, right near hornsby. anyway we got off the train at warrawee and walked up to the pacific highway and turned right, then at the lights (going towards hornsby) we turned down fox valley road, as you walk down, the second or third left there is a realatively big hill called roland ave, then from there onwards on the left and right going down fox valley road, there are lots of roads which are pretty quiet and some have lots of run off.
If you were to turn left at the pacific highway, just after leaving the station and walked towards the school there will be a really steep long road in the middle of the school (the school is broken up into two parts) with substantiol run off. the road quallity is pretty good to.
if you were to travel from central station, it is roughly 40-45 minutes. there are also lots of steep long side streets around that area too.

kanufi if you know anyone driving up to the centenial park near my area that wants to give me a lift (and if fernandez could get one to that'd be good).
i want to take the turner and a bigger board. have not taken the turner real fast yet and can only stop by jumping at the moment. so depending on the size of the hill might need a board i can slide. cant take both by train. call me or e-mail me if you hear anything.
I'll try and print that poster off for you and get it up in a couple of places. will not be untill next week got exams this week and need to use a computer at school with publisher.
Also there is a guy making a web page that i have been talking to that wants some pics. if you want any put up on it tell me or send them to me and i'll get them to him.
Fernandez the photos worked couple of good shots.

Yeah its happening we just have to get a few posters up to advertise.It will be a beginers day with slalom and bombing.The hill isnt huge but it still would freak out a complete novice if the went from the top ,but there is another level down the hill 4 people with less skills. Will let you know when we pull our finger out .

This Sunday afternoon, May 11, there are going to be some downhillers getting together for a few runs down Northcott Drive behind the Russell Offices. These guys go pretty hard, but if you're comfortable with a bit of downhill speed and don't have any Mother's day stuff goin' on (like I will), then get out there and bomb that baby.
