    Default *London Weekly Rips*

    Hey there sf addicts,
    there's a small crew of us from all over London generally meeting up at least once a week to rip up new spots.
    Currently thursday night is the time of choice & Crystal Palace's Anerley hill hosted our first proper meet recently. That was more of a freeride session with some jamming afterwards in the park.
    That said we don't just bomb hills, some of us are into tech sliding, powercarving & fancy boardwalking, hell, I'll even try & run some cones on a 42" board if the slalom dudes let me

    Current Disciplines & Spots:

    Downhill/Freeride
    Crystal Palace Park
    Crystal Palace Park Road
    Anerley Hill
    Harrow On The Hill
    Kingston

    Tech Sliding
    Greenwich Park
    Crystal Palace Park

    Cruising/Powercarving
    Greenwich Park
    Crystal Palace Park
    Kingston
    Hyde Park (Serpentine)

    Slalom
    Greenwich Park
    Hyde Park

    For how to get to spots & return journeys after midnight
    Transport for London

    For maps of the areas:
    Crystal Palace Park
    Anerley Hill
    Greenwich Park
    Hyde Park - Serpentine
    Harrow On The Hill

    I've setup a google calendar for London events from now onwards, saves a lot of space on the forums & is pretty centralized.
    London Longboard Calendar
    Remember to check us out on facebook if you're on there.

    This thursday night's rip will be in Harrow instead of Crystal Palace, fingers crossed for dry weather.

    Alex


    P.s. anyone setting up regular events should feel free to ask for editing rights to the calendar, I'm trying to make this a community effort.

    The credit for the vids must go to Damien & Andy, they've been capturing decent footage & working well with what they've got.

    Gav, might have to wait for spring from the looks of things;
    just had about a couple of inches of snow tonight!

    Pat, you thought about hitting up a euro event or 2 next year?
