*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

For maps of the areas:

Re: *London Weekly Rips*
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.

Re: *London Weekly Rips*
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?
