Longboarding spots

Postby Gary on 08 Mar 2010, 23:46

Here are some spots that we've been to, im sure theres tons more out there so please share.

Anyway, please remember to skate safe and polite, reckless stuff will get a spot shut down and we don't want that to happen.

1)Chill Hill between LSP and Turfcity, infront of the student hostel, chill straight road that leads to some sketchier grass hill gravel roads. sometimes pretty rarely there will be a truck or something but otherwise no traffic.

2)Sengkang Riverside Park (Extreme North-East), super far but multiple super chill paths that go around these 2 grassy knolls, no traffic since they are footpaths.

3)Lorong Sesuai (Central-West), this is a pretty steep straight road that leads to the communications tower on top of the hill. Its pretty wide too and really sweet to practice slides all the way down since its steep enough that you can keep your speed up. At the top theres a little curvy road by the side of the comms tower too, pretty chill.

There isn't much traffic coming up to the comms tower, but the straight steep hill does not level out and it runs into the busy upper bukit timah road so be careful if you are bombing it.

Bukit Batok Nature Park is nearby, theres a pretty sweet chill inside road that runs from the gas station to the park's carpark, and inside the park itself there are footpaths that are chill to cruise on, but nothing steep.

4)Mount Faber (Extreme South), I think this is one of the best runs. Basically its a two way road that goes up halfway and from there its a one way road up the "Moutain". The one-way road coming down from the summit to the halfway point is really sweet and pretty safe. There is one bit that is pretty fast, its like a left then right turn near the end of the run but it levels out quite a bit after that so it isn't too hard to stop before you hit the junction leading to the halfway point carpark.

The 2 way road from the halfway point to the foot of the "mountain" looks really sweet and fast but we've never done it cos i guess its pretty dangerous.

Rifle Range Road - Nice windy long road for a sweet carve. Not much traffic. It'll be great if you have a ride ( to reach uphill is quite a distance unless you don't mind hiking up).
The road entrance is actually located opposite king albert park (where there is a Mcdonald's drive thru) along dunearn road. Enjoy~ 8-)

hehe checked out Rifle Range Road after closing up tonight. 9pmish, no cars at all. Its super long and chill, definitely one of the longest runs. But then hiking back up killed us and its really really spooky at night, a branch fell from a tree and calum ran for his life hahaha.

So then we went to NTU and met up with Jon Jon who showed us all the hills there, its an awesome place to skate, tons of different hills of varying difficulty (and skateboard spots too!), there is some traffic but it clears up closer to midnight or so. Was great fun, thanks Jon!
