Longboarding in NZ
On 9/25/2006 NorthshorexHardcore! wrote in from New Zealand  (218.101.nnn.nnn)

hey guys, i just got into longboarding recently and have been addicted ever since!!! Every second minuite im out bombing the hills and carving them up. I live on the northshore of Auckland NZ, and so far, have only found one decent hill, behind Albany megacentre which is pretty bland.. i got to a solid 50km/h down it, but im still left craving some more.. anyone know any better locations in the auckland area? And im keen for a downhill comp, send me an email if anything gets up and running!

Hey all,

I just got here on exchange from the States, I'm studying in Wollongong for the session. I've been floundering a bit trying to find some mates to do some longboarding. Anyone around Wollongong, or nearby (ie sydney) that'd be keen to meet up to do some chill downhill, that maybe knows a few good hills and such? hit me up with an email nsh087@uow.edu.au

Sydney slalom at P5, Sunday August 6, 1pm
On 7/31/2006 Bugs wrote in from Australia  (59.167.nnn.nnn)

Next prayer session:

Sunday, 6 August, 1:00pm at P5.

I'll be there, and it's looking likely that my knee will be OK and I can skate. I've been out of action since the last race - I blame Paul Carey for pushing me so hard.

Sydney slalom results
On 6/12/2006 Bugs wrote in from Australia  (59.167.nnn.nnn)

That was a great day. The course was so fun and exhilarating - fast, but not as hard as it has been the last few times.

Thanks to everybody who took photos - I'm always keen to get copies to put them on my skate pages at Click here for link.

Also much thanks to Boris for broom duties, and to Chopper Pat, Paul, and Greg for helping out with the timing. And to everybody who contributed prizes.

Final results:

1. 19.60 Haggy Strom
2. 20.99 Colin Beck
3. 21.346 Paul Carey
4. 21.352 Scott Tansley
5. 22.09 Greg Groundhangers
6. 22.55 Kel
7. 23.15 Fitzy
8. 23.66 James
9. 24.49 Mike
10. 24.93 Lachlan
11. 25.57 Boris
DNF Tim, Josh, Chopper Pat, Chris M, Steve

Check out the difference between 3rd and 4th - 0.006 of a second (less than a hundredth of a second).

The next first Sunday of the month is July 2nd, 3 weeks away, and I'm sure we'll have a different winner :)

Tomorrow's forecast is "Morning showers", so with a little more prayer we should have some racing.

Monday, June 12, 1.00pm at Kempt Field, Allawah.

Sydney slalom - start praying for dry weather tomorrow
On 6/9/2006 Bugs wrote in from Australia  (59.167.nnn.nnn)

The forecast for tomorrow is "Rain, strong winds".

We'll make the call tomorrow morning - if everybody in the Church of Slalom prays really hard it might be dry.

If it's wet we could put it back one day - Monday's a public holiday.

Longboarding in Sydney
On 5/23/2006 Bugs wrote in from Australia  (59.167.nnn.nnn)

Carparks - Try the Seymour Centre carpark in Chippendale, cnr of Cleveland St and City Rd. It was deserted on the Sunday morning I rode it. Here's a video of the Oldskoolteam guys riding it: http://oldskoolteam.com/ost_vids/carpark.wmv

Drains - Dunno, but check this thread: http://charliedontskate.com/bb2/viewtopic.php?t=836 on charliedontskate.

Slick carving runs - this is hard cos of traffic traffic traffic, and it depends on whether you want steep or mellow. The Oldskool team guys probably know the best spots: http://oldskoolteam.com/phpBB/index.php

Slalom - check http://charliedontskate.com/bb2/viewforum.php?f=7 if you're interested in trying out slalom - it's pretty fun.
