Hi Guys,

I'm back online. Great time on saturday. thanks to everyone who made it down.

I definatly keen to come up this weekend still. I can only make it on saturday though. I thinking about catching the train up with alex and then we can pick up the Toyota so we can hit up some hills. should be a great day.

The best glue for shoes is contact adhesive or shoe glue (bacisly the same thing).

As far as good down hill wheels. either Retro Big zig Greens, Black Hawg Monstors, or Orange O'tangs. They are all great wheels. It is realy just appeal and personal style after that.

Cheers Ben

Yes indeed it was a good day last Saturday of skating.
Oh really Ben hmm bummer not even say friday arvo if you can stay with your dad and brother up the coast, because I'm pretty sure the earliest train gets in at about 9.30 at Landsborough station then it's a bus trip to the coast. It's okk but just a couple of the fast ones can get busy later in the mornings but that's alright still some good runs around and yer if you can get the car that would be a bonus, we will have another guy with us who will have a car but i'm not sure how seat wise goes.

Hey guys , just looking for some good fast downhill runs in the gold coast area. any ideas? Thanks for any info..

**sunny coast longBoarder** · 03-06-2009 12:47 AM

Okkk for Alex and Ben the train you can catch is at 6:53am from robina and 7:04am from Helensvale so that will get in at central at 8:09am and then change trains and get on the 8:15am on platform 6 a Nambour or Gympie train it will be. then get that until Landsborough station Then there will be two buses which meet you when you get off at the station and your going to mooloolabah right Ben, to pick up the car so the bus number will be the 615 which will take you to the mooloolabah. The bus stop for mooloolabah which is near underwater world. and from then on Ryan and i should be able to meet you there or keep in contact by phone. if you have any problems my number is 0412632752. Cheers

See yous there!!!

Heyy Sam mate it's Joe from that time at the the goldy. yer for sure come up this weekend was that the plan with your bro and Alex.
there is a perfect S bend you will like three corner drift, and some fast runs, but also a nice perfect run for any one really from beginners to pros Ash,myself and Ryan hit it about 6 times in one day and made the walk about 800m each time in 30dergee heat.

Hey Nick , while you are going to be up the coast why dont we suss out if we can catch up on the sunday and have a go at some of the runs that Joe does , we can drive up etc . Joe what you doing on sunday sometime ?
lance and Josh

**ntthrepo** · 03-17-2009 02:16 AM

Hey lance I was tossing up that idea
The main thing we were doing was on sunday morning going for a cruise on a boat on the river.
although I might be able to leave at lunch and we could meet somewhere. I think we should have a look at gydnier drive, it is almost 3 km long and is wfull of turns but only maxes out at 50 if you push it so everyone will be able to do it, then we can go to some faster runs.

I'll get back to you on the times but

Hey lance I work on Sundays and start at 12 so yer it's pretty tight for me to get in some runs on Sunday it would have to be from like 5 or 6 in the morning hahaha.

Alex i would of been keen but i just organized to skate with Ash and some of the gold coast guys on Saturday at some new places they found until about 1 but then have to work at 6 so yer probs just do some garages in the city for about 2 hours before my train home.

**ntthrepo** · 03-18-2009 02:55 AM

hey lance sorry but I wont be able to do anything sunday
We dont get back untill around 3-4 and I have work at 5

We will have to do something next weekend

**conorbrissie** · 03-22-2009 03:00 AM

bump.
available pretty much every Saturday from here on it, so if you're keen lets hit it, preferably somewhere in brisbane, as i got a bit on in the afternoon

**ntthrepo** · 03-24-2009 01:30 AM

Hey I have saturday free so anyone wanna do something?

**DirtyCarve** · 03-24-2009 02:36 AM

I think I'll b at a mates in NW Brisvegas (Bunya) so we think we will be doing the hills there and if we can get a lift from his parents (or someone eles with a car...) go further out to camp mountain and samford etc
Theres some spectacular runs out there, seems like there could b some ones similar to the gap but wider, smoother (newer) roads.
ALL WELCOME (especially driving dads)
Have a look at the runs here Google Maps

**AndyExpandy** · 03-24-2009 03:37 AM

hi, im Andy
thought i might introduce myself considering im a brisbane skater. im mates with conor and am also free saturdays so i look forward to meeting anyone around the place.
peace

**ntthrepo** · 03-26-2009 06:37 AM

I throught we should get the 'crew' together
Next weekend we should throw a Brisbane DH session.

I have found/know a few Dh runs around brissy
heres two of the runs + a corner we can give a shot.
First part - is the corner on payne road.
Middle part - is the last section of Dillion rd.
Last part - is Mt. nebo rd, Mt. nebo road has alot of different runs along it.

3 spots on Vimeo

We would do the runs in that order probably, thats the easiest way transport wise.
I also want to check out (if we can and have time to) mt cotton rd and a run near nudgee school (good speed into a massive s bend)

who's up for it?
