Did you know? #1

Skating from MMU Cyberjaya to Old Town Cyberjaya requires only 6 minutes or lesser.

Moral of this post: Since driving requires 3 minutes (including traffic light waiting + bonnet checking at MMU guard post + consume petrol), and walking requires 25 minutes, so, SKATE LA!

SUNS @ Putrajaya

20th July, we successfully skated at Putrajaya with some new members, say yahoo!

Compared to our usual location at FIT atrium, which is flat, safe, and BORING, Putrajaya combines flat + little slops + little stairs + little steps + little traffic + little grass = perfect!

Another peaceful SNS @ Desa Park City

Woo~ Another peaceful Saturday Night Skate at Desa Park City!

How is the place?
Em, the second best place after Putrajaya, with quite smooth pedestrian path, clean, low traffic, and 7 Eleven.

IMG_2223

Desa Park City is actually a very high class residential area, with a lot of security guards and their own shopping complex in their area.

We skated 3 rounds around the area, where 1 round is about 3.5km, so total is 10.5km, but don't feel tired, walking is so slow!

After the skate, we had our dinner (or supper) at McD, The Curve. A satisfied day.

SNS, or Saturday Night Skate, is a monthly skate event organized by Skateline, where everyone with skates can participate. SNS venues will be in urban areas all around KL (or Penang, by Skateline Penang). Every skate will be lead by professional Skateline skaters who will control the traffic for road crossing and so on.

Lastly, guess who is this? I don't know...

It's worth to pay for the skates you like, because it will last almost forever. Compared to changing new 1k phone every year, which one is better?
