Haha, that 5 minute warning is a good idea. At summer hill they will just turn off whenever... usually when you're mid air or something.
Yeah last time i was there some skaters didn't take heed of it, and one of them got pretty axed in the steep bowl... dropped in just as it turned off, faced pretty hard,

^WHAAAAAT? You're leaving?! Gonna miss riding with you at dully for sure
Yeah, I thought I'd probably bump into you before I left to say peace out and stuff, a bit bummed that I didn't have time for a good final dully ride. I'll be back come winter for a visit. Probably July.

And, in other news, my electric taped innertube is still holding strong 2 days later. I had no idea electric tape worked that well.

Halloween jam was amazing. Had the pleasure of meeting and riding with several members of this forum. Harry was too busy being a filthy hipster to make an appearance

had a meeting with the "friends of callan park" (bunch of old-teenager hating people) to get a skate park put in callan park. ended up going pretty well, some old guy even suggested that they make it an amphitheatre shape and when it is not being rode, it could be used to play mozart. he wasnt joking either.

but i think we won them over, so hopefully we can look forward to a skate park in balmain soonishh!

depends how tall you are.
if you are over the 6 foot mark, go for something a bit bigger like 21, but if you are under 6 foot, 20.75 is the way to go.
it really depends what you like more.
shorter top tube- less stable but easier to maneuvre
longer- more stable at higher speeds
