ay man, have you decided whether u were gonna buy the demonseed?
also, any news on the little comp u organising for that project? I'm pretty keen to get together wit u guys to do some racing. haven't done street racing with a group before. met some random guys in a garage last thursday night, who had a mix of longboards and old school skateboards and we all raced each other. it was awesome fun to do it with double the size we usually do it with. we need to get you and ur mates out one thursday night. that would be sweet.

YES definately we need to do something. I need to make a couple of boards yet then the comp will be organised and i am going tob buy the demonseed complete but need to wait a little till my friend gives me some money so i can give him the trucks, wheels etc. He's buying a board off me.
Oh and this guy is making me pay him money because he almost ran me over in the flying fish carpark down victor, cos when he ran over my board it fliked up into his car and left a little scratch..
And to make matters worse he was a pommie victorian... AHHH
i couldnt do a runner either... my friends rents were just ahead of me and gave him all my details.

that sucks about th pommie victorian. thats the reason we stopped doing carparks during the day. too many close calls..... and pommie victorians.
i really wanna make my own dancer, so i'll need you to teach me how to make boards sometime. i'm sure its not hard, i just don't know where to get any of the stuff.
we might be going to hit up some of the city carparks tomorrow night (thursday). you should join us if you can.
last week after the garages, we tried old belair rd. fastest rd we have done so far. i only pushed off once and easily hit 60. i could almost get 70 if i pushed at the start. pretty scary, cos the corner is tighter than what we are used to for speedboarding.

Dude thats a gnarly hill, did you have any issues with crazy drivers, cos there are some nutter out there who go absurdley fast.
Every time i go down there i think about how good it would be for a race rack...
How do you stop at the botom, it kinda gets steeper and heads onto the roundabbout doesnt it?
Sorry not tonight i have volleyball. If you want any tips or anything im making a few more boards soon and if you want some wood we coul probably get it ordered in bulk to save some bucks.

yeah the traffic wasn't too bad cos we were doing it at around 0130. I would only ever do it late at night (early morning). i think we are thinking of a different section of old belair. we started at the round about between the cemetry and that big school (i think its scotch) and we ended up at the bottom next to that park on the left. its only short, but its fast.
Bulk wood is a good idea. tell me when u are gonna order. how much wood do i need for a large dancer tho?

Oohh right that section, yeah that must ahve been sweet. Did you wear leathers?
Have you been up the windy road coming down to the roundabout? That #### is gnarly
Oh sorry forgot to answer your question about the timber lol
By what i know, and im going to do some more ringing around tonight, we can get a 2.4 x 1.2 sheet of 3mm 3ply hoop pine for about 50 bucks, thats enough for two boards.
I would need a sheet, my friend would need a sheet and if you wanted to make your board longer than 1.2m long then you would need at least a whole sheet.
My friend and I will be getting some fiberglass as well so if you want some of that to strengthen up the board... just ask.
The longest you can get out of a 1.2 x 2.4 is about 48" economically, that is there isnt much leftover wood. So if you dont mind loosing those extra inches then you'll have plenty for at least one board, perhaps two if youae using fiberglass. Depends what you want, the order will probably be placed later this week so get back to me if you can.
Im thinking of making a dancer as well, ill let you know about what materials im going to get.
nah we didn't do it in the end. my mate had to get back.
how big are you planning to make the dancer? you will want some nice flex in it by the way. Otherwise it wont be an enjoyable ride. However you haven't been riding a dervish for the last 6 months, so my standards in cruise boards are pretty high.
I'm going away for a week this week, so tell me all about it once I've got back. I'd love to try it.
Also I'm planning on getting Jimz Stims soon. You reckon I could try em out one day when I get back?

Yeah its probably going to be about 60 inches long and 10 wide. Im probably getting the wood today, nothing fancy just something that will last a few months.
Yeah when you come back from wherever give me a call and you can borrow some, do you want to use them on the crails as well?
