hahaha. im sure there is a bigger population of longboarders in sydney than adelaide. however the good thing about adelaide is it is tiny in comparison to sydney, so there is more of a chance that we would meet and see other longboarders.
Maybe u should come over here to live.

I'm from Adealide, currently living in London.

Skate here in some places is amazing, sometimes its also amazingly ####.

We had a 10 crew stong of longboarders in SA. You'll usually catch them out at the cranker on friday/saturday nights, then hitting up car parks after a few beers. I'm missing those days.

yeah where is "the cranker"?
I did Grand Junction Rd last week. I know its a long road, but i did the bit between the lights that overlooks that reserve with the velodrome in the distance and the lights at the bottom with the big ford dealership opposite good old laser force.
I reckon I got close to 70 on the first run. So stoked.
I really wanna ride with more people tho.

not really. depends on if its a straight DH or DH with cornering. I know one sweet straight hill that we do during the day. but its is actually illegal to ride it because it has dividing lines/median strip. there is also a really good one for this up at brown hill creek and it is pretty safe and it would be easy to direct traffic if needed (cos there barely is any). not that fast tho, but it has a nice little chicane kinda thing in it. are you actually organising people to ride it or doesn't it go that far? because you would need permission from the council to block off the road for the comp and that would be impossible in this situation.
good idea tho and i'd love to be one of the riders.

you'll find a few on this link, including the ones i suggested

Yeah i love the evo, especially now that i've got it on the randal dh trucks. amazingly sturdy at speed and i'm learning to drift and take tight corners with it which is good fun.
are you going to buy something soon?
