Once in a Life Time SNS Putrajaya

No joke, this is one in a life time opportunity for skating!

Ever imagine all the best of the best slalomer from the world gather together, in Malaysia, to perform slalom?

Watch this video first if you don't know what is slalom.

(this is the demo by Swan in Seba team, at One Utama, day before SNS)

We just had the opportunity, thanks to Skateline.

During the Saturday Night Skates, it was raining, heavily. But our passion towards this SNS is so strong, and believe that we will find a dry place in Putrajaya to skate.

And thanks Skateline again who found a shaded and skateable tunnel.

Gearing up.

Do I mention that most of us from MMU wearing red shirts, with santa hat?

Here come the best of the night:

  

Slalomer from Germany, France, UK, Singapore, etc was there with us, performing slalom tricks, and is the first LIVE slalom demo we ever see in Malaysia with our own eyes.

They are Chloe, Greg, Terence, Swan, Rudy, Igor, Georgior, and Sebastian!!!!! All from SEBA team.

Terence was teaching us basic tricks. We received some tips from them, and it works~

MMU skaters with Sebastian, team manager of SEBA slalom team. (find the tallest guy with white shirt standing in middle without skate, and long long hair~)

Sue Ern getting autograph from Sebastian~

Signed by Seba! And also other slalomers!

It's a very nice experience, and don't think we will have second one in our life.

Skate rocks!

There is always first time...

Chukahamnida!~ (korean congratulation~)

Yesterday is the first time long distance skating from FIT MMU to Old Town for Seaw Wei, Sue Ern and Kok Full, well done, although not very efficient, but is a big improvement!

Together with V, Su, Ben, Chris, we skated over the journey, crossed the road, over the up and down terrains, and reached Old Town Cyberjaya, safely~

With effort, next skating will be more people, and faster.

Shall we try skate to Alamanda one day?

Friday Putrajaya Skate

Another successful skate at Putrajaya!

And this is also the first time outdoor skate for 2 skaters, Sue Ern and Seaw Wei~

Sue Ern gearing up.

Seaw Wei, fuyoh, can fly liao~

Because that time is coincidently same time with Friday prayer, so the mosque area was fully parked with car. 1 car manage to find a slot at mosque area, while another car have to park in the middle of Boulevard, and skate into mosque to meet up.

Thousand hands Buddha?

Some rare photo of V.

Xuan Hao peace.

This prove that: walking is so slow.

Group photo?

Sue Ern can skate up stair~ Don't play play.

Group picture?

What you counting?

Final exam is getting near, good luck for all skaters~

SNS @ Desa Park~

8 persons of us (without Li Xuan, pity little sick girl, you miss a good skates~).

Meeting at Skateline Damansara, with some talking and chit chat. Hao Ming has his new wheels, his old wheels already flatted till the inner plastic. Sara has her brake pad removed, means another freestyle skater coming~

We found one interesting knowledge:

ABEC is a standard for bearing, the spinning device of a skate, higher the rating, less energy required to spin the same quantity of rounds. Most skates come with ABEC 3, 5 and 7. Impressive?

As usual, we reached our SNS destination, and start off our journey with lucky draws. Guess what?

All 3 lucky draws were won by MMU skaters! Yahoo!

Congratulation to Seaw Wei, V, and Hao Ming~

New wheels, fuyoh!

"Fast fast, we want skate!"

"I dodge!" Useless la, my camera faster.

Big Khai Wen

"Exhausted? Drink 100 Plus like me." - (100Plus is not our Skate Club sponsor)

"Come chase me~"

Sara - "I am hungry~" (she is fasting, sorry for her first meal of her day delayed)

Ballet? Don't know, it just look funny.

Dinner time (although most recognize as supper time)

Typical skaters bonnet.

MMU Skaters rocks~

wtf?

 
It's night before Mid Autumn Festival, can see a lot of families playing around in the park. Kids holding lanterns, parents chit chat, couples too. A very happening and nice place to skate.

The moon is almost full, and "theoretically" it will be very round tonight. Wish everyone a Happy and peaceful Mid Autumn Festival! (or Mooncake festival, whatever you call it)

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!

Yo!

Mosque.

Big Khai Wen who learns like a rocket, now can do simple jumping and T-brakes~

Group picture in front of "Buat Kerja" Department. Love the reflection on the smooth floor!

Star jump.

Far jump by Hao.

Don't kill the butterfly, Ben!

Group pic, again.

Bright moon light, a good day to skate.

Eng Soon speeding!

Confidence is the key to skating, let go of your fear, it's nothing.

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.

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!

Desa Park City entrance.

Starting point: Desa Park's own private shopping complex.

Steven is picking lucky draw number from Steve.

Pre skate (Ignore the butt behind).

Few young and cute skaters! But beware, they are damn fast and confident!

What the...

Yeng.

Small group photo.

Xuan Hao killed by a Jedi skater.

Finished 2nd round, 3rd round to go soon!

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...
