skateboards and dragsters

I'm starting to get back into skateboarding since my back hates the long surfing session so i was wondering if any of my vw family here like to bomb a hill or two. I don't ride a trick board just a long board that i can carve the bitumen up on. I grew up in the 80's & 90's when skating was mostly done by surfers when the surf was flat and we searched for hills to bomb early in the morning and storm water drains that we could ride like waves. We use to love drains that ran down a hill and spent hours sweeping them out digging out tuffs of grass just to shred them to bits. Unfortunatly i live in a pretty flat area, only have one slight incline at a new estate behind the fruit shops on Bribie rd so i'm using that to practice and get the feel again. Anyone know of anymore around north brissy area ? So lets see your boards (i'll post a pic of mine soon) and also love the old dragster bikes as well. Found a huffy bronx at the markets and have customised it a bit for the kids. If only it was denim blue hey Matt B...
