Sussex Meets? So Ronery....

by **The Doktor** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 12:56 pm

Do any of you chaps/chapesses meet on a regular basis in sussex? Being a noob and seeing as I cannot convince anyone to take up boarding, I wondered if I could tag along to any sessions subject to availability and approval from my Parole Officer. I get quite violent in confined spaces and can get tasty wiv an 'ammer sometimes, but other than that I don't pose any considerable risk.

Hi, there is the longboard Brighton group who are quite active (all ages) that I have been to couple of sessions with https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_30679398184&ap=1

or we could maybe have a meet up at Hove park in the next few weeks, for a gentle roll a round. Not been on my longboard for about a year so should be `fun` :lol:

Anyone else up for it :?:

When's the best time to do Hove Park, or is it awash with joggers and dog walkers 24/7?

It varies, best to avoid 3:30 school kids out, Sunday 10:00 am can be the slalom boys although not a problem if you can cone dodge a few of them then its fine, although they use the 'best' slope, I prescribe a Thursday late afternoon/evening, any good for you ?

I''d be up for it, depending when you choose. This Thursday may be tricky though as I'll just be back from oop north and the missus may be grumpy if I head straight out.... This Sunday could be good as 'fight club' is on half term break.

by **The Doktor** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 12:35 pm

How about next thursday or sunday? Weather permitting!

by **Lofat** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 12:54 pm

Sounds good, this week is rain+rain according to the forecasts.

How about we pencil in 5:30pm next Thursday 31st for a roll around :?:

Anyone else :?:

by **The Doktor** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 5:02 pm

Consider it pencilled. Will be less of a roll, more wobble, snap, sirens.

It`s ok, I`m good at first aid, will set 999 on speed dial *<:-)

by **Lofat** » Wed Oct 30, 2013 12:24 am

Chaps, forgot the clocks were going back so it is a bit dark at 5:30

How about 4ish this Sunday assuming it's dry ?

by **Dom1** » Wed Oct 30, 2013 9:10 am

I was just wondering how much lighting there was at Hove Park.....

Sunday arvo is good for me, any other locals ? Snakey, Fruit Bat, Buffalo.....

by **The Doktor** » Wed Oct 30, 2013 9:21 am

Sunday's no problem

by **thebuaffalo** » Wed Oct 30, 2013 1:45 pm

Thanks for the invitation, but unfortunately I will be working on Sunday. Pity, as i have been going downhill fast lately

Will give Fruity, Snakey & a few others a call Dom *<:-)

Yeesh, hope the weather gets better for tomorrow

Dom1 wrote:Yeesh, hope the weather gets better for tomorrow

Yup, looking good at the mo

So far we also have Fruitbat & Steve, will see if Snakey has a skate pass. Sent an email to GregryC a few days ago but no reply so far. Got a few more chaps to contact as well ..-

Will try to be down there at 3:30, will be the 'big boned' chap with all the pads on :lol:

by **Lofat** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 1:37 pm

Nice & dry so far

by **Dom1** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 2:16 pm

Yup, fingers crossed ..-

by **Lofat** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 3:29 pm

Still dry

by **Dom1** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 6:57 pm

Good to meet you guys

sorry we pissed off without saying goodbye, thought you were following us round :oops:

Great session, hope to catch up again ~..

by **The Doktor** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 7:19 pm

Nice to meet you all also. Wonder what happened to GregryC??? Anyway, it's quite good down there so will probably attempt to make weekly visits to Hove if my schedule and fuel budget allows it!

Good to meet you and the Doktor as well Dom, great time, loved the wet slide session at the end as well, be good to do it again at some point, you can say goodbye twice then :lol:

(my house was the opposite way :wink:

)
Let me know if you are down Doktor, I only live up the road so might be able to pop out for a roll ..-

by **SteveH** » Mon Nov 04, 2013 9:50 am

Fun session guys and nice to meet you Dom and Doktor. Not been out on my longboard for a while and first time for me at Hove park. Rain didn’t stop play just added to the fun at the end, although bit of a damp arse on the drive home

by **The Doktor** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 12:04 am

Might try and get to Hove on Sunday if anyone's up for it. Been busy fucking up the tiling in my bathroom the last few weeks so haven't been out.

erototileaphilia ?

:lol:

Might be able to make it down, what time are you planning to be there feller ?

by **Dom1** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 9:20 am

Hmmm, I've been painting shelves. Isn't life fun :roll:

You thinking afternoon again

I'll have to mention it to SWMBO and see how it goes down

It's out of control. I've been trading suitcases full of samples with other tileaphiles at the rear of Wickes late at night.

Dom says afternoon, so whatever Dom says goes. If it's dry and I can drag myself away from the intoxicating allure of the tile adhesive shall we say 13.00 hrs?

by **Dom1** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 2:37 pm

Blimey

I wish I could generate that level of influence in the rest of my life.....

Anyway, seems I have a pass, I dont finish Fencing until 12:00 though, and I'll need a feed so I don't expect I'll get there much before 2:00.

Memory says you are just up the road from me Doc, are you keen to get down earlier or do you want a lift ?

by **The Doktor** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 3:24 pm

I could always blag a lift! Thanks. Pick a time and I'll shall await carriage. Do you know the Tesco Express on Manor Park? That's probably the most notable landmark in the area.

Done. I'll aim for 1:30, if things go adrift I'll make sure I post on here by 1:15 (or you can PM me your mobly).

OK then, who else is up ? ..-

by **Alec** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:03 pm

As it happens I'll be in Brighton this weekend but doing wife organised activities (these don't always include any sort of skateboarding) I might have a longboard in the car with me however.
What sort of time are you planning on getting there and how long for?

by **Dom1** » Fri Dec 06, 2013 5:10 pm

Best guess 2:00 for a couple of hours. I'll have a spare board in the car in case of emergencies..... :mrgreen:

by **Alec** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 12:12 am

Bollocks. Just been informed we need to be back in Woking earlyish

by **Ben-G** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 12:14 am

Only just figured out today what "so ronery" means!

Bummer, as we say in Brighton

How about an early doors down the Level instead ? *<:-)

by **Lofat** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 8:06 pm

Bah, don't think I can make this now

Have fun guys.
Have somewhere in mind for a meet up in the new year

Will let Steve and Fruitbat know about Sunday O:-)

OK then, the sun's out and I'm of to Hove Park for a gentle roll around. The Doktors not answering his phone, if anyone else fancies a session I'll see you there ..-

by **The Doktor** » Sun Aug 10, 2014 1:31 pm

I didn't have a missed call from you 5 months ago?!

by **Lofat** » Mon Aug 11, 2014 7:44 pm

Hi there, maybe wrong number. Looking to get another meet up at some point soon, can you message me your number so we can get in touch

by **The Doktor** » Mon Aug 11, 2014 8:45 pm

Message sent. Annoying how life gets in the way of the important stuff!

by **Dom1** » Tue Aug 12, 2014 2:06 pm

Hey guys

Me too, got a ton of family stuff on at the mo, but it would be great to get a few hours off. I'll keep an eye on here, post up if you get anything together and I'll see if I can tag along. Dok, I have PM's you also.

by **The Doktor** » Tue Sep 09, 2014 7:19 pm

Any of you guys up for a roll around next week? Weekend or maybe a weekday dependent on the work schedule.

Hi Doc, I might be depending on the day and time, though I am busy.
Will also try to arrange a meet up soon as well

Might attempt to visit the Park of Hove tomorrow if anyone's around.

I know this an old thread, so apologies for any poor forum etiquette resurrecting it!

I'm a former skater who's just bought a longboard after 20-odd years off-wheels, based in Burgess Hill, and can see myself getting down to Hove Lawns a bit once I've reaquainted myself with the basics - if folks are still meeting up, I'd be up for rolling along

by **The Doktor** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 4:34 pm

I remember this forum from the dim and distant past. I wouldn't worry about the basics, I never got past that stage! I'm up for a roll when anyone's available or if anyone is still alive. Evenings and weekends mostly.

by **Frizzer** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 3:44 pm

I have literally just taken delivery of my new longboard and would be happy to meet up round Hove Park to get some help on what I'm doing.
I'm usually down that way every Monday evening as I am also a referee for Brighton Rockers Roller Derby and we train in the King Alfred at 8:30.
I could meet up for an hour or so around 7 or 7:30ish if anyone is available and willing to offer me some guidance. Alternatively along the seafront/Hove Lawns from the King Alfred car park is a definite alternative option.
