Ok it not about big T**s
What is the biggest hill anyone has ever seen in the metro area, ie. the longest steepest one that flattens out at the bottom.
Please no oceans, cliffs, walls or big hairpin corners at the end.
I want to hit it on a freebord.
Cheers

can you tell us how it goes Howley?
I've heard you need pretty smooth bitumen/concrete to be able to use it?
I've also heard the wheels wear out pretty quick.
cheers

Hiya ellery,
Na it goes on any sealed road as long as there are no ruts. It goes over bricks also (those lumpy ones that you get on the road sometimes), but smooth road is the best. The wheels on the old freebords did wear out pretty quick, but the new ones have Krypto Classics on them and they last a long time.
Drop by SOS and check out some vids. They show some varied surfaces.
We got a bit of footage from a coupla days ago too which is pretty cool.

Baldivis, water teartment plant with the phone tower on it, if you can get the gate open at the bottom it's good to ride on but its only a one laner so you need to know how to stop. Its not huge but very bloody steep,its so hard to get a car up it. only rode it once and it was a very dumb idea.
Only problem is its private property. but if you need speedthats the place.

Hey RK,
Freebords have brakes. Come in and check out a vid at SOS, you stop them like a snowboard. We are going to post the vid here when we're done, so look out for it.
