SCOTLAND - scene and spots

[Flandan]

Hi guys. I'm a longboarder and journo, currently working on a road trippy magazine article about the Scottish longboarding scene. I want to make sure I'm not missing any characters out along the way so, if you're involved in longboarding in our hilly wee country, then PM me and tell me where you are. I'll come get a word with you and share some MacStoke. There surely must be more than six of us..

And, if anyone out there knows of some sweet Scottish longboarding hills, I'd like to hear about them too.

Hi Skeggsy. Sorry I missed this post when you first stuck it up mate. Been all over the place recently. Definitely hook up next time I'm your way. Used to skate along the esplanade at Joppa when I was a kid.
Cheers

I skate around Portobello/sea front when kids allow me to get out, so would be good to hook up sometime as getting bored with just saying hello to dog walkers in the park. One hill been meaning to try is the Innocent Railway as its prity smooth and got that 500m tunnel section. It runs gently downhill (althouth maybe not enough to not push) all the way from the centre to just outside joppa

Hey folks - just signed up with the 'fish.

We used to ride the Innocent Railway tunnel before they shut the gates at the top. Now you can't get the roll into it that you need for the speed. If the wind was in the right direction it would act like a wind tunnel and could give you 30mph+ through it - happy days!. It does get pretty wet though as its below the ground.

Yeah see what you mean about the gates, cycled through it on Monday and it was damp in places but alot better lit and drier than I rember it being a few years ago. Other obvious spot would be Arthurs seat on a sunday when its closed to cars but can't remember how smooth it is, funny how longboarding make you look at tarmac in a different light

[longboardscotland]

Arthur's Seat's ok as long as you have big,soft wheels and the wind isn't blowing up the hill - its pretty good when its behind you. I did 5 runs on it one afternoon last week when it was shut for the work on the crags and my legs were shaking for the rest of the day - its pretty rough and that was with Avilas! Check out YouTube - longboardscotland's Channel and you'll see some more of our spots.

neer aberdeen in findon and parts of portlethen there is some fun hills. i will admit not all of them a very long and not easy to find but if you go to findon you should be able to find a few as it is a small place.
there is also a new development of houses near portlethen:LEATHEN FEILDS.
there are about three main spots here: two are big long hills ,one has a spped camera at the bottom under neath a tonel if uyou wantto find out how fast you are going, the other is quieter and has a slightly bumpier road but is still ridable ( this one is beter for sliding because of the lack of cars. Thte third spot is a ramp that joins the two to gether but turns tighly around in a snake type fashion: ths can be good fun to slide as it is smooth and quiet.


if u want to find out more just e-mail me on:

and i will try to reply as soonas posible.
