Longboarders in Edinburgh

**Kapitan** · 09-09-2009 01:03 PM

Hey everyone

i'm a 21 year old swedish guy that's studying here in Edinburgh for 2 more years, i haven't seen any longboarders yet in Edinburgh and i would love to have someone to ride with, i've been riding for 4 years and i own 2 boards atm from slipstream and Sector 9 and i'm currently waiting for my third board from longboard.eu.

If there are any people in Edinburgh that likes longboarding just give me a email and we can go out some night in the city and ride, it's my second year here in edinburgh and i haven't been able to explore the whole town yet on my board but i have some places i like to go longboarding at.

Contact me if you want someone to ride with or if you know any groups of longboarders in the city. Beginners or experienced riders dosn't matter! !

Hi everyone,

I'm a french student at Heriot Watt University and i'm here for at least one year. i'm 23 years old and as Kapitan I'd like to have people to ride with.
I've arrived in september and i'd like to discover the area and to find good places for a ride. I've only been riding in the campus 'til now.

I've been riding for less than one year, but I come from street skate, so i'm not really a beginner. I've got a Dervish Loaded and I use it to ride a lot in Paris and the area.
I'd like to meet people, so if you are interested PM me.

thanks a lot !

Kaptain has been out for a spin with us already, you need to get involved me lad!!

Weather permitting we'll be out on Sunday, tomorrow looks a washout

**Kapitan** · 10-02-2009 07:44 PM

yeah the more people the better. Vincity3000 just come along with us. It's allways nice to have a group of riders in the same town to skate with!

Hey guys!

I'm a 5th year student at Heriot Watt and stumbled across this thread by accident! I'm a mountainboarder but I longboard aswell when I get the chance! I was planning on heading out to castle terrace carpark on Wednesday night with a mate, the more the merrier if you fancy a carve!

Cheers

Martyn

Hi Martyn

Can't make this Wednesday unfortunately but give me a shout next week and I'll be up for hooking up. May even get our numbers over 4 now! Used to go to Castle Terrace but the last twice I've been I got asked to leave by the security man. Can't be bothered arguing with them. Fun enough for a mellow run though.

Cheers

Neil

I might be aboot on Wed, not too sure aboot the car park either, fins it a tad dull. We've got plenty of other spots in and around toon we could take you to.

Neil might not be able to make it but I'll try and get a few of the others.

I'll pm you my number,

Dougie

Cheers

Aye might do as the weathers not looking too great tomorrow, so under cover sounds good. We dont just bomb hills, Neils pretty saweet at the old sliding and we've got a few guys who just like to carve and cruise. If not tomorrow we'll get you guys out for a spin sometime.

**saltun** · 10-15-2009 10:26 AM

One of our recent finds, great for carving with two other great wee hills next to it

YouTube - Practice run with Go Pro wide (...

Slightly just outside Edinburgh

**saltun** · 10-18-2009 01:08 PM

**Flynt90** · 10-19-2009 10:32 AM

Mate thats sooo lush. I still dont have the balls to get upto speeds like that. hopefully some day.

**Kapitan** · 10-19-2009 11:42 AM

Temple is amazing, you see that board that saltun is riding (the guy that's filming). That's the most stable board i've ever felt. Impossible to go TOO fast with it

I remember someone ( Kapitan ) went too fast and couldnt stop with that board when he met a lady with a horse. Then the horse jumped and tore after him down the road - you're glad the board is quick and steady now bro. If I had only had the camera rolling on that run.....one of the funniest things I have ever seen longboarding, had me in tears. The lady on the horse was also in tears funnily enough, but with the FEAR!

**Flynt90** · 10-20-2009 03:49 AM

Yeah hopefully sooner rather than later. I've got family up near edinburgh so may have to give you a buzz one day show me the ropes

**gavmck** · 10-20-2009 04:06 AM

Ey up boyos

Just thought I'd plug my website Longboard-Sessions.co.uk - so much fun you'll sh*t yourself at you. 490+ UK skaters on there organising longboard-sessions all over the country. Would love to see you guys posting some sessions up scotland way, there's a fair bunch of users up there who don't know you're about and feel lonely!

Temple sounds sick, I wonder how easy it is to get to Scotland from Canterbury...
