Do it! We have one of the best scenes in OZ here in Newy, we got kids as young as 8 right through to guys 50+ getting together every week or so for a session.

Hey creedsk8 what size board you riding? That board you on looks like a standard deck, may be worthwhile if you are riding bigger parks and pools and getting something a little wider and longer with a longer wheelbase. My bowl board is 9.25 wide, if you are not doing flips and shit you will appreciate the extra wood under your feet.

Man that's fucking sick! Might have to pop up for a few days over Christmas when I got some time off or something. Haha fuck trying to do flips on a 9.25! Although I have seen a kickflip done on a longboard....

It's a creature so it's bigger and has bigger indies on it. I do have a sword and skull with the large indies but haven't been able to get used to it. I'm trying to make the transition to bigger boards just need to get a set up I feel good on.

Nice nice, I've got an original Vision board little haggard in parts but could fix, and original raw Indies 149's I think they are from memory.

9.25 is a big step up when you are used to 8.00 decks. My 9.25 is a pocket pistols DK's deck with indy 169s and 57mm rainskates. Its perfect for big bowls. Also have any 8.75 antihero grosso with 169s and 55mm spilfires, great on medium ramps and parks. Lastly a Manton (aussie company) 8.25 with indy 149s and 51 hoon wheels, I use this to muck around street skating on trying to keép up with the young uns haha!

Manton are in Subury, VIC I've looked at some of their decks they look pretty wicked, Not sure about strength wise, AntiHero have some killer decks.

nice! i really miss skating. but when i fucked up my knee a fiew years back and couln't skate for a fiew months all my friends stopped.. so i was all alone after that, and it isn't that much fun anymore. actualy worse, there was only one skater left in general, and i hate that guy so much. it's a hell te be out there with that guy every time..
also the park here is boring as fuck. there is nothing decent anywhere close to me.

I also really miss it, but that is because my knee is currently fucked up. Skating alone didn't really bother me. I have one run about 38 seconds in this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvDxRXxPpA8&feature=youtu.be perhaps it will motivate you

i can skate alone, still do, but not that often. when i go alone now i am tired of it within an hour, with friends i could spend the whole day at our shitty park.
