Hey everyone,

I'm pretty new to Singapore (living here 1 year). I used to longboard quite regularly in Australia but kinda stopped when I came here cause I dont really know any good locations to longboard. If anyone knows some good locations can they tell me?

Btw. I live in ulu pandan (off holland road) so if anyone knows good ones near there thatd be great! Also if anyone wants to meet up for longboarding let me know... I'm a bit of a beginer so I wouldnt mind learning a few tips off any of the more experinced riders on here

Hey JonnoMann,

I am beginner too and i know some great locations ( i think..). i live in bukit timah, (Toh Tuck Raod ). There're pretty cool downhills over here. My personal fav spot is a Bukit Batok Nature Park. Pm us or leave us a note over here. Btw the guys are getting together this weekend (scroll below). My mobile no. is +65 94710120. Text me anytime dude. I normally ride on weekends.

Thanks everyone for the welcome

Does anyone know where a good longboard shop is? I haven't really been bothered to look but I dont really like my current trucks or bearing. So yeh.. any help is appreciated!

oh definitely

about skating this weekend, I'm good Sun after lunch! probably around 3 onwards. are we really doing this? let's do this! haha

in my case, I dance mostly, but I do like sliding too. hardcore dh not so much, because since I've been skating alone for the most part, if I take a major crash ain't noone gonna be around to take me to a hospital haha. plus walking back up the hill is a serious b#tch after just a few seconds of dh.

you'll find most of what you need either in spitfire or gosports in margaret drive (more there than in their other branch in the OG building in Somerset)

but recently, Spitfire has picked up on their longboard offerings (they have S9, Surfone, and Gravity now, last I checked), while GoSports is cutting down. In any case, GoSports should still have a few Gravity's laying around, maybe a Hypercarve or two, and I think some Ed Economy's which is in my opinion a great buy.

For trucks, both shops would carry your standard randals, just not sure if they'll have em in both 150 and 180. Spitfire has Gullwings too but I don't think you'd want those.

For bearings, you can get em anywhere Reds will be fine for you.

Hope that helped!

[whiskeyhill]

Sounds awesome. I'm down to just cruise too, but for that i'll bring my mini.

In any case, if you guys want any longboard gear, i can bring over some rayne, ladera or earthwing boards. Just hit me up so we can talk.

Can't wait!!

Cruising/Dancing - nothing beats East Coast Park, you can just cruise forever!

Downhill/Sliding - NUS (thats where I go at least), and there are a whole bunch of other places in the "Bukit" areas...i forgot if it was Bukit Panjang or what haha. If you wanna go crazy downhill there's Kent Ridge Park too. I forgot the other places that some dudes took me to before, my bad. For sliding, there's a good place by Kaki Bukit too.

[whiskeyhill]

damn, now i wanna bring my slide gear too. :|

hey whiskey i'll add you! but shoot, I might not be here na when you get here haha. oh well. if ever maybe i can pick up something from you next time I fly home.

about bringing just a mini for cruising, I don't know man, the rest of these guys might wanna do downhill with you instead! or you can bring your slider and you could teach me some of those slides i saw you doing in some video! oh shoot, that's if i'm around

[lazarus213]

damn, now i wanna bring my slide gear too. :|

there we go! you read my mind
