congratulations !

about sliding... I still don't manage at all and use the foot braking/jump off the board to stop ^^
It s ok when you know where you are going and you are quite sure you will not have to stop in a second...
So that't what i do, and I enjoy it

But I surely wouldn't go on a busy hill with cars, stops, red lights, very tights corners, etc.

[edit] I know I miss good stuff, but I m still quite scared by concrete (that s why before coming to scotland I was more into water sport like skimboard, bodyboard, windsurf, and I was on the edge to buy kitesurf equipment ^^)

I kind of prefer surfing water myself the wipeouts dont hurt so much!!used to longboard when i stayed down in plymouth.but I just bought a new board because im moving to Kerry in november where there are great surfing beaches there.bummer though to miss out on the longboard scene here after only just finding it!!!my partner is irish though and its time to move back there.

Congratulations!

Bugger...My wife did this morning duties with our son so i got the lie in...so tomorrow she'll get to stay in bed which means i'll have to look after the weeman.
Sorry to let you down.

Hopefully next week....or some evening after work? i'm usually free after 7-30.

Cheers

Ah, no bother....I know how these things happen!

We had a good session lastnight there were three of us out...
We ended up on the hill opposite the primary (old Hogshead) sliding in the rain...t'was great fun!

OK Sunday morning then...we on! Sunday mornings are a good time to enjoy the city centre so how about we meet at the corner of Blyswood Sq. and West Greorge Street (on the city centre side)?

Cheers

Will.

I'm going to be up tomorrow (rain or shine) and there for about 7am....see you there
