Today. It's supposed to be 112.

Needless to say I only longboard at night this time of year.

112 is crazy... around 90 is really sweaty, Ill wait until the evening when it cools down...

It's only too hot when my wheels start to melt.

Buddywolfe · 07-07-2008, 03:47 PM

120+
under that, yeah we rip it up, but the sessions are a lot shorter and closer to home, in he summer we usually try to skate in the evenings

after our 6-month northwest winter, i'll skate in any heat

I only skate if I commit to it and get so sweaty that I no longer care when it's too hot. The next few days are gonna be around 110. I'm so glad I'm leaving town...

seriously, this winter was way too thick of snow to skate in the winter. the roads never dried!
I just got out of the pool, but skating at noon-hours are rough. I skate shirtless and on the shady side of the street when i can. but night time riding is the only cure. 4:20am skate runs in the cemetary are very popular nowadays.

It's like 110 everyday here in Vegas, I can only do one short session a day and I'm done.
If not, I usually skate at night, but at night... it's still 100+ =/

90-100 degrees, with HIGH humidity.

Brutal.

I think it's even hotter over in Texas Eddy country.

Need to reserve it for the evenings, for a while.

Time to move to ABQ.

The humidity here is awful. It's like walking into an oven. I don't care, I skate anyway. You can get used to it, but gotta drink alot of water.
