hey is this thread still active?

I'll be going to hobart, beginning of JAN 2011 and thinking of staying longer (till mid jan) to check out the GNAAAR...

anybody into that, or anyone that can show me around in that area?

looking forward to replies...

**melifont monk** · 12-01-2010 05:34 PM

if your on facebook, do a search for tasmanian longboarding!

theres a pretty active crew here, my number is zero415 six93 9six7

where you coming from to hang here? let me know.

ben.

**GrizzLee** · 12-02-2010 05:58 PM

Hehey mate, pretty sweet... Didn't think to get a reply so quickly.

I'll be coming all the way from austria. Mainly I'll work in hobart for a week. "Morilla hobart wta international tennis", in case you know it?! It'll be there from the 7-15th of jan and afterwards the "real fun" would start

thinking of staying there for an extra week maybe.

Thought a few days in (rad)adelaide might be fun too, but if hobart turns out to be a gem i'd love to spend my time there and check out the roads?!

Cheers for the facebook link btw!! Is that your page?

Anyhow, hope hobart is a good place for some nice DH/freeride or even cruising/flat land skating... And, i mean, theres few things better than a new city with cool local guides

Also thn.x for the nbr, will be saving it once ill get a local phone!

Till then!

**melifont monk** · 12-05-2010 02:20 AM

cool mate, keep in touch!

A few of us are on both, If I was from syd or something I might care more about asra.

Market place used to rock, but we seem to get kicked out pretty quick now.

eh... shrugs, the lifts were nice though...

well, oceana's not a bad run, you can carve it up, or tuck it for a bit of speed.
Fair bit of traffic since they connected it though.

Skating's always a bit life threatening...
but we won't take you to sun-tzu for a while.

Got a helmet or gloves yet? - do it long enough both will save your life.

Should come out with us some time eh?
we're a few riders now, and there's different skill levels and interests.
There's places here that offer stuff to most of us in the same area too, which helps.

**Andi Pandi** · 12-20-2010 06:17 PM

Yeah last time i sakted through north hobart i was asked to hop off my board by the fuzz, but that's one time out of many, so it will probably not stop me.

Good thing about oceana is that you can see/hear cars coming from miles away, leaving plenty of time to avoid them, not like strikland ave, where they can appear out of nowhere!

I have a helmet (use to wear one on the shortboard, after my motorbike helmet saved my head from resembling a shattered watermelon one time), but not gloves yet... Sliding looks mega fun, and i intend on learning, but i'm waiting for my recently broken wrist to get some strength back before that.

Do you still try market place on the off chance? If so let me know when, i'd love to give it a razz! Was it cops or security that asked you to go? I can't really think of any others that would be accessable of a night.

Anyway, would be nice to skate with some others at some point!

Cheers

**SteveC** · 12-21-2010 01:28 AM

Last time we skated there they just called the cops.
sucks, we used to have a good relationship with them, but they changed people or something.

**Andi Pandi** · 12-21-2010 06:45 PM

I am gonna head to Market Place tonight and have a go I think... Just park up top and run down to the second floor, use lift and repeat. The worst that can happen is to get asked to leave, just gotta make those first few runs count i guess.

Seems like a mega waste of cop time though. I guess thats Tasmania for you though.

**GrizzLee** · 01-12-2011 12:05 AM

hey,

so i'm in hobart and the weather is doing my head in

I haven't got much time to skate before the 15th anyhow but I hope the weather improves after that...eldersweather sort of gives me hopes...
so I got my comet, my helmet, my gloves and will for freeriding!!!
hit me up if you want; my number is 0four78 04eight394

btw: does anyone have a couch a can crash on for 9 days?!

(I'd pay some rent or food & drinks or whatever) or knows a good an cheap place to rest my stuff and head in? will need it past 15th...
any clues welcome...
