Hi Slalom racers!
I am now back in Manly and just got delivery of a new FibreFlex Freerider from San Diego! A very nice quality and finish and a cool white colour.
I want to run some cones - how bout it Haggy? The deep powder snow in Japan was epic but I miss skating the hard stuff.
Does anyone know where to get some timimg gear in Sydney? I'm here for April so lets get some skating in. Maybe a little race too? cheers, Paul 0415 611 911

Yeah, know Whanga well, head over there a lot. There's a huge vert ramp in a warehouse over there somewhere and a great little park over the hill at Pauanui too. You'll have to check them out in another eight years!!!

A huge crowd gathered for Japan's Hanazono Downhill race. Heavy snow all day meant racers with hard boots, speed suits and special wax preperation had little advantage.
For my run the sun appeared for a few seconds and I pulled into the start section hard.
My skateboarding experience told me to get into the 'Hutson tuck' position and I took the fastest line down the course without a single turn.
It was the fastest I've every been.................radical!!!
And the times came in and I found that I was in Second place by a fraction of a second.
The Japanese could not believe it - an unknown Westerner from Neasden had come 2nd.
One of the best days racing in my life. I wish you could have been there.
Today is my last day at work, leaving Japan soon......
Cheers, Paul

Hey Terry!
Welcome to Oz. Hope you meet up with some folks over in Perth.
Do you feel like a visit to sydney in late April? Paul Price will be here as will a Swiss slalomer, should be fun.
I'll be in Perth hopefully later this year. We'll definitely have to do some riding then...
Peace,
haggy

Singapore Sk8 Parks

Hey Brad!
When I last lived in Singapore back in 1996, the only skatepark was one out at Ang Mo Kio. The park was pretty lousy, wooden ramps with lotsa bumps, so we used to just go there to skate the banks under the MRT track nearby.
I don't know what the scene is like these days. If you're there pay a visit to a skatestore and ask, one in Far East Plaza, run by old-time skater Ramli I believe, and Spitfire, a shop in Peninsula Plaza.
Good luck!

Hey Grindmaster, if you're in Auckland March 14th come session at Manukau Skatepark in Hayward Park, behind the big Manukau mall. Slowly putting together a e-mail list of us 'oldies' and everyone seems keen to get regular sessions going so we're starting a once a month thing happening. First one March 14th, 10-12.
