Bkk all the way to KL? i'm not sure about Thailand but for Malaysia it should be fine.

Are you actually going to skate the whole way from bangkok to kl? i think as long a you're not in the middle of the road and not on highways the police won't give you problems. good luck, hope the roads on the way aren't crappy.

I would think other than the highway, there's not gonna be any decent roads to skate on

Ya. Perhaps use a stiffer board that is lower to the ground?

Off course I will. I can keep in touch with you. I probably going in dec/jan.

**wafflesole** · 07-30-2009 04:26 PM

demonseed, dropped with big wheels on it. 85mm is a good size.

**MrJim** · 08-02-2009 09:51 PM

Anyone who knows anything about the roads? are the smaller ones any good? How are the Police against longboarding?
I will probably skate from Bangkok-Singapore, 3 months in Thailand and 3 in Malaysia and only a few days i Singapore.

Mr Jim,

if you're going to be in msia during dec/jan a there will be a few longboarders (myself, cilibird, kulturkampf, lazurus, fendy,drumsticks) and a luger (furlong) around if you ever need some company

roads in malaysia tend to be pretty sucky. there are always potholes to watch out for. i live around petaling jaya. the roads are pretty busy most of the time and the sidewalks aren't very skate-able unless you're lucky and come across some new developments. skating through the city would be pretty intimidating, the malaysian traffic and pedestrians are hectic!

as for a push board, you'd want something low to the ground (easy to push) and as light as possible. definitely consider something dropped. like mentioned above, the demonseed might suit what you're looking for. also, check out landyatchz urban assualt/switch or rayne nemesis (demonseed might be abit too big to push around).

randals should do the job and get some massive flywheels to go over those cracks in the roads!!

good luck and give us a shout if when you're passing by malaysia!

This will probably be my setup for my trip and I start in Chaing Mai and go down to Singapore:

Rayne Demonseed Dee-Lite
Randal r2
Seismic Speed Vent 85mm 75a
Khiro bushings
SKF/Biltin/Kahalani bearings
