Norfolk!!!!!!!!

Hello everybody.

Just wanted to know if there was any longboarding in Norfolk U.K. Look. I know it's the flattest place in the country. I know people only ever come here to die. And I also know that all the roads in the county probably cost no more than £20 to build. BUT, There must be some longboarding here somewhere. Now I have no idea. For all I know the world longboarding championship is held here. But that's why I'm asking. Because I have no bloomin' idea.

Any information would be fantastic. (can do Suffolk aswell very easily)

Cheers everyone

I'm pretty sure your talking about Norfolk, UK (which I know nothing about), but most of what you mention describes Norfolk, VA, USA (where I ride/reside) as well

the only slope i have in gorleston is the ravine to the seafront.....which happily leads to a cafe on the beach...still i suppose you could skate the acle straight.....adding further to the irony of longboarding in the flatlands i also do downhill mountain biking...this is what i own ...42 inch swallow tail with retro trucks n wheels.the bearrings are some waterproof jobbies i got on ebay for 20 quid.....

Hey Nor-Folk. I'm living in this "fine county" just outside Norwich these days and don't really mind the solitary skating. Loving exploring the country lanes on a pumpable setup. Just wish there were more hills around. Gonna be doing some LDP next year along the coastal roads and around the broads if anyone's up for it.

And if anyone knows any good spots please post them. Quiet, smooth sliding hills much needed.

the coast road to sheringham from paston is quite nice....

The only smooth sliding road I can think of is Kingfisher Holdiday park in Bradwell. The road on site is one, big, smooth hill with no traffic. I'm gonna check it out tonight (haventbeen there in a while) and then post some pictures on here?

NORFOLK CREW!!!
Let me know if you guys get something going, would love to have you added to this fine page: Longboard-Sessions.co.uk - UK Longboarding

**JoshParrott** · 11-16-2010 02:30 PM

Let's do this. A Norfolk crew would be great. Can't wait to get my Dangerous Deck now :')

**b8man99** · 11-17-2010 12:32 AM

Not sure if three people makes a crew. But yeah, i'm down for just chilling and hitting hills with u locals. Just expect me to be red-eyed and excessively grinning. I am curious about dangerous decks' boards.

Roll on summer...

**gavmck** · 11-17-2010 06:30 AM

You know what they say, "2's company, 3's a crew", right?!

PM me with a location and crew name/description and I'll add it to the database so you guys can associate your bad selfs.
