My friend in duluth knows of a run where you go down for an hour at a nice 30 mph. That st croix trail looks nice. Is it difficult riding in the parking garages? How fast do youu get going in those?

that ramp is a blast, and there's many more like it around minneapolis! it's sweet because, if we wanted, we could park in one garage and then just ride from one to the next (getting kicked out as we go? lol!)

one note: i bit it right at the end of the night trying to slide to a stop in the aforementioned ramp, because i slid right on a patch of oil...the board broke free super nice, but then once i was off the oil patch, it hooked back up real abruptly and i flew off. altogether a really easy ride down tho. it was completely empty 'cept for our cars, and it's nice and wide to carve off speed. just be aware and you'll be fine.

come join us!
