Region: Asia/Pacific (1106 Posts) Topic Info Nightboarding On 7/29/2004 Jogger wrote in from Australia  (202.63.nnn.nnn) Yeah Gareth, Nightboarding is the s#@! when you live in the city. You can see carlights reflect of stuff around corners and over hills. That, plus the fact that there's less cars on the road at 3am makes it safer. The problems are less vision to see the road surface, and tears in the eyes. I got to get a set of clear "wanker" sunnies, just for nightboarding. Me and Kanufi we're at Glebe untill about 2am on Wednesday night.     Rate post 175778 !

I think think he was just droppin in on the forum. Takin the piss I reckon. Just got back from a roll round my local. Anyone else get into night skatin? Bit dangerous, but the best way to enjoy the bitumen leisure trail with the least amount of traffic. Just startin to push my boundries with speed and hills. I'm a bit green to the downhill ventures. Wheel drift freaks me out a bit (bad experiences). 2 coopers in skateboard fueltank = random rider, take on anything (just ran the red on kingsway and elouera intersection)     Rate post 175694 !

I then fly to Sydney and have free time from the 5th, to the 12th. I want to split this time between Sydney and the Sunshine Coast area. When I get there I do hope to get the tour from you locals. No one knows the best spots more than the locals! On my last visit, I also had a great time at a few swimming holes. If there is something you think I might like, let me know. I'll need to arrange some sort of housing when I'm in Sydney, motel, hotel, couch or whatever. I think I'll stay about three days before visiting Queensland. Looking forward to the visit, Cliff Coleman p.s. I'll get back with my exact flight itinerary in a later post.     Rate post 175233 !

On 7/18/2004 Cliff Coleman wrote in from (64.171.nnn.nnn) Joseph, Good to read your response. I want to meet and ride with all of you guys. The last time I was there, I rode with friends who live on the Sunshine Coast. I would like to stay there a few days to ride and hopefully run a clinic for those who don't know how, but want to learn to slide. The best dates for me to skate the Sydney area would be after September 5th. I fly in from Darwin the 5th. I could hangout with skaters that evening before skating the following days. I'll post more information as my trip gets closer to departure. Cliff Coleman     Rate post 174189 !

Me and K headed out to that skate, surf expo thing at the Entertainment centre. Definately NOT worth the $26.50 to get in. There was only 1 stall with any kind of speed boards (Force industries naturally) and there was absolutely nothing with luges or buttboards. There was a stall for the "National Skateboard Association of Australia" who state "If your business involves skateboarding then it involves the NSAA",they had posters that had slalom and downhill on them but when I asked the 2 very un-informative chicks when the slalom and downhill comps are starting they had nothing. So when are the NSAA gonna get involved with us????     Rate post 174016 !

I have spilt many a litre of blood there. I used too get some nice air off the donut. Riding there at night was fun particularly when the local "gangsters" (read 12-14 year old leb kids) would show up in packs of 40 lookin for a fight.     Rate post 174008 !
