Very proud of it...hope one day can be bob burnquist malaysia..

i stay in kl area. near timesquare. anyone can guide to me nearest skateparks? need to learn from the pros.

Hi fellas, I totally have no clue about skateboarding however I'm very interested in giving it a try. I can ice skate and inline skate decently(I don't know whether this has anything to do with skateboarding).
Where can I get a suitable skateboard for starters like me ?
And what should I look out when buying a skateboard.
thanks.

Buy any complete skateboard at our local skateboard shop like Ollie Times Square or Zone 5 in Sungei Wang...cost you around RM200-RM300..

Yeay! Idup same Bob burnquist!!(aku minat same bob untuk vert)

i think there's a skatepark behind times square..why don't u check it out..

the imbi skatepark is fcked . If u want a skateboard go to cool element.
Just 180 u can get full set plus free grip tape but not recommended cause the bearing damn soft. plus the griptape sucks.

Yeah,Burnquist the man...

Wah,quite a lot kickflip to indy trick..

still don't sleep ar bro?! 2moro not working? one minute run continuos..crazy man

Hehe,terminum kopi lebih lak hari ni..

Anyway,i like his style when execute a trick..hell smooth..

watch the REMAJA on skateboard and the kid who will participate in Asian X Games (not X-games) on May..u can watch the remaja video here at : www.skatemalaysia.com


And for your info, we have many vert skaters since the late 80's. It just that we don't have many parks that have vert back then and then now days the vert were wrongly shape and constructed. I mean take example for the VERT ramp at Kiara skatepark. The flat pat is to tight in between and the heights in 12 feet high. I mean for beginners at least u need 6 - 8 feet. 10 feet is for X-Games standards..but here is 12 feet...who wanna try it then...at least u need to learn from mini ramp 4 -5 feet...and then jump to 6 or 8..not double it to 12 feet.

The kid Arina is young and talented but putting him at Asian X games is like a suicide. Coz Arina was 1st sponsored in Malaysia coz he's got at skatepark / street skating not vert. Even now he can play vert but as an experience mini ramp & sponsored skater. To me the way he play it still need to improve more and he's not even closed to an international amatuer level. But now he's competition with international pro. It's like seein MYTEAM soccer VS Machester....it's like a suicide mission...but offcourse lucky him can go there la...expereince is important but at least sent him to gain experience at his level like Japan vert competition or maybe in Europe they have vert for amatuers and non-pro contest...

Added on April 25, 2008, 4:36 pmThe biggest will be the new skatepark in putrajaya..as for now it's Kg Batu Metropolitan. But the best would be the concrete skatepark at Shah Alam.

Bukit Kiara (not Mont Kiara) skatepark is an international standards but the vert is not. Maybe they had no space and that's the rreason the flat area for vert is too tight. The park is good and was constructed and built by Australia Ramp Design (ARD). But now th park have not been doin any maintenance and the park is a bit slippery if you used a hard durometer wheels example 97A and above....
