After about 1.5 km, the road is no longer divided, i.e. from 4 lanes total, it becomes 2 lanes again.

LOCAL LONGBOARDING SCENE UPDATES

Few months back, there's this one annoying kid spitting bad thing about longboarding on our facebook page. What a shame... Longboarding is skateboarding; and has been around since the 50's off surfing community before street skating existed in the mid 80's. Know your roots before you say bad things about others coz people will laugh at you and in the end you will end up being left alone in your own world. Please do your research or googling the web first before you say anything.

Longboarding scene in KL / Selangor in general is now growing by leaps and bounds, with more events and participans each session. Though normal skateboarding / shortboarding and trick skateboarding is still the dominant scene here and elsewhere, many skate shops such as Wheel Love, Hz Skateshop, radioactive and Billabong outlets begun carrying longboards and longboard equipment, and the locals are looking forward to having the first longboards store in the local scene area dedicated exclusively to longboards with the much anticipated opening of Wheel Love’s in Subang more than a year ago. So far they are the only great place to learn about the equipment, meet fellow local longboarders, and find out about local events.

The LGM session is the strongest local longboarding session / event so far. The monthly session now become a weekly session is held every Saturday or Sunday from 9am till 2pm in various location such as Taman Metropolitan Kepong (TMK - for beginner), Janda Baik (JB) for intermediate and Kuala Kubu (KKB) / Hulu Langat (HL) for more expereinced and advanced skaters. Riders who show up are of all skill levels and ages, and anyone who shows up can expect to see the more experienced riders doing their thing, have the chance to ride and give input on various new and even prototype boards and wheels, learn skills as varied as simple pushing and footbraking, carving, sliding, downhilling, or slalom, and generally have a good time and meet other longboarders.

Recently held session (as shown photo above) had the most participants ever in Janda Baik. Everyone trying their very best level to gain improvement and expereinced and get ready for the upcoming events in Kuala Kubu (KKB) on 29th January 2011 (event detail soon). So, whoever is there and whatever we do, it's still all about having fun. Peace!

He also contribute his work with Sandwich skate zine before and later joined Revolution magazine as the editor.

In 2005 - 2006, he ran a similar project called Skateboardingasia.tv owned by his company called Vandal Project. But the project did not work as planned. Now after 5 years, Vandal Project try hard again and team up with Mariss Khan (Malaysian skateboard judge) to run this new project called Frontside TV. Check out the promo below....
