Vanders, how is the toe? I sprained the one next to my big toe, back in 2011... Like New Years Day... roughly 2+ years ago. Only just getting back to 100% now!

Swelling has gone down, but I did kick some rocks with it at LM today, didn't tickle that's for sure.

Ouch mate,I've got a nice slice on my left foot and a hunk off my right ankle,but its a good pain if you know what I mean

Weiry, is is where I got my ideas for the ultra long boards. These kids are very good. Hamboards are available in Aus, but they're pretty pricey.

it's called the fernleigh track, it's a bicycle track from Adamstown to Belmont it runs where the old train line used to be. It's not super steep but steep enough to carve without pushing.

Rule #1 - Don't skate in bare feet.

OUCH!

I loved skating up until I was 22yo & bent my leg the wrong way

I Went for a roll before and found 3ks of cycle track that is a down hill concrete path, pushed twice at the top and that was it...

is this a secret spot or not? Please feel free to post SP

My Brazo neighbour would be thrilled to learn...he has more downhill skateboards than surfboards and he has lots of those

Not at all, it's called the fernleigh track, it's a bicycle track from Adamstown to Belmont it runs where the old train line used to be. It's not super steep but steep enough to carve without pushing.

That toe looks painful Vanders

Can I ask what part of the track and going in which direction?

We have been having a few hook up issues with these boards,Vanders changed trucks and wheel size,I added another set of spacers which works well but lifted the height of the board making it hard and uncomfortable to push along.So today I took to it with some sand paper and some sweat,once I was happy with the wheel wells I hit I hit it with some varnish.Worked a treat.
