Hi all,

Just thought I'd give an update on that big ****s post I did a while back asking for big hills to ride on a freebord. We've since hit many of the hills recommended by you guys and had a ball, thanks. There are still many to go yet.
We have found a couple of our own, the biggest being an 18 degree monster in darlington. We hit this on a couple of occasions, and pushed our top speeds way up: Sam to 90-95km/h and me to 102-107km/h, and still no sign of speed wobbles.

Check out videos of these runs and many more at http://www.freebordwa.blogspot.com

If you think of any other hills let me know...

Hey Luke,
Looks like a lot of fun. Not sure my old brittle bones would enjoy the learning curve though. Nice vids too. Hey, can you tell me the music details for the 24/11 Mosman Park session vid? Nice tune - a little like Portastatic. Thanks

That song is 'kissing the lipless' by the shinns.
If you've ever snowborarded the learning curve is not too bad.

Hey likuid you get them from SOS Surf Company in Fremantle wa (08 9430 7050) Grumplestiltskin wheel life varies according to how hard you go. I usually get about 2 months out of mine, but you can get heaps longer life if you just crooooooze...
