On Thursday we’ll be at the P5 carpark at the Olympic Stadium at about 7.30. If you’ve got a car it’s easy enough to get there, but by public transit it’s either a train from Lidcombe station or a bus from Strathfield station. I’ll probably be getting there by train from the city. Hope to see you there.     Rate post 230095 !

The only place I found wheels was in the sports department of the new Paragon center in Siam. Only sreet stuff though. I think you would need to mail order them. As for places to longboard I don't think i can remember anywhere where I thought I wish I had my board except for the road near Krabi Airport. I would be setting up cyber slalom on the basket ball courts like the ones outside the National stadium near MBK. Good luck and have fun. I LOVE Bangkok!     Rate post 230011 !

I'm out in Kalgoorlie at the moment, returning to Perth this weekend. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it down to Margs - would have been excellent but just pressed for time with work and stuff. You should think about coming over to the East coast in may for the Nationals in Bangalow... did you use to ride with Paul Price, Stridey, Drayton, and the rest of the UK gang back in the day? Also, check out charliedontskate.com - it's a great site to meet up with other like-minded bowl riders and slalomers. later, haggy     Rate post 228900 !

At the risk of massive generalisation, Tokyo has an east and a west. The east side is older and quieter. The west is newer, noiser, and more filled with young people. So the west side is probably the go. When you think west you think of the following places: Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Ebisu and Roppongi. These are all big busy downtown centres. But anywhere is fine as long as it’s not too far away from things. The thing to look for is how close to a train station the place is, and whether the station is on a "good" line, ie, a line that goes directly to a major station. For skating your friend should hook up with the Outdoor Japan crew, who used to have regular rides through Yoyogi park at night. They have an internet forum where they organise stuff. Pretty friendly guys who are always happy to have newcomers show up.     Rate post 227530 !
