Longboarding - Old Upper Thomson Road

Published by Gary at 11:05 am under Longboarding, Original Videos

Longboarding - Old Upper Thomson Road from lsp on Vimeo.

The problem with doing downhill runs is that you need to walk all the way back to the top which is not fun at all. Either that or you get someone to drive you back up… but that don’t work for me because I’m always the designated driver and it sucks to be me.

So naturally I’ve been looking for a run that ends with a bus ride back to the start. I finally found this the other day… at first we were kinda disappointed because it was not much of a hill and you go really slow… But that actually makes it super good for beginners to learn some downhill techniques so I’m sure we will be going back there whenever we have the time.

    Hey Gary, are you using iMovie or Sony Vegas?

  20. # Garyon 02 Jun 2010 at 12:00 am

    swar: The buses are 163, 167, 855, 980.

    Arin: you can read how i make videos in the forum. the run i filmed was really bad, we were late and walrus had a headstart so i just grabbed the camera and chased after him. turns out there was a giant smudge on the lens and it was set on manual focus.

  21. # Arinon 02 Jun 2010 at 10:57 pm

    Lol. That was not the answer i was hoping for.

  22. # Xavieron 03 Jun 2010 at 1:40 am

    Hey gary! do you know how to get up to rifle range road by bus?

  24. # Xavieron 09 Jun 2010 at 8:37 pm

    If there were a way up by bus, it would be the hottest DH spot in singapore. I do notice chartered buses passing through occasionally, why dont you try and hitch a ride :)
