I agree with Bill Bryson when it comes to hand rails…….
From “Bill Bryson Down Under”
“Down town Canberra is primarily a series of plazas wandering between retail premises, and devoid of any sign of life but for a noise of slap and clatter that I recognized after a moment as the sound of skateboards. Having nothing better to do, I followed the sounds to an open square where half a dozen adolescents, all in backward-facing baseball caps and baggy shorts, were honing their modest and misguided skills on a metal railing. I sat for a minute on a bench and with morbid interest watched them risking compound fractures and severe testicular trauma for the fleeting satisfaction of sliding along a banister for a distance of from zero inches to a couple of feet before being launched by gravity and the impossibility of maintaining balance into space in the direction of an expanse of unyielding pavement. It seemed a remarkably foolish enterprise.”

The Police are patroling Epping and chucking out skaters until it’s officially open. So we’ll have to find another venue for Tuesday.

I am up for the Ring. Anyone else got a vote?

Nope still a bottom feeder, but I’m closer to the top and my carving is better…discovered a bit of speed.

#6

Fantastic!!! Inspired to get faster and go higher!!! Im loving it at the moment too!!!

#7

Better every skate is it!

#8

Here’s the election results for Tuesday’s session

Northcote: 3
Ring of Fire: 8 (including the bloke with the generator)

I will be sessioning The Ring of Fire, unless there is a re-count. I’ll be there about 5-5:30pm.

My bones are still sore and tired from the Bowl Tour & MOSS Jam! And the Ring is the best place to learn some of Bret and Cameron’s tricks.

If yuz all are going elsewhere please ring me.

Next session; Coburg Tuesday night 15/03/05 5pm til late

Unless Epping is officially opened.

But if it’s raining we hit The Ring of Fire. Forecast as at Thursday “Rain Developing 27”

The lads want to do some out door sessions before daylight savings end and the rain starts. Those who love The Ring will get plenty of time there with winter in the way! Northcote fans, it could be your turn the following week?

If anyone wants MA15+ rated photos of the PSC girls at the recent Vans Rye Bowl Jam please ask me.
