Fair Oaks longboarding

maxmessineo · 07-27-2008, 07:35 PM

Just wondering if anyone here lives in the fair oaks/ orangevale area near sacramento. wanted to find some good garages/hills in the area

I quite literally just made an account to help you.

I live sorta in the area. Here's the areas I frequent and reccomend:

Bridge Street in Fair Oaks- ride from the top or side streets and go out across the bridge. Traffic can be dicey when the bluffs get popular.

Pennslyvania Ave- right near the River Rat rentals, go down that hill and into the river access parking.

New York Ave- is basically a bombing hill but I'd rather go to....

Iron Point Rd.- In Folsom, off of E. Bidwell it's a massive hill and people have been known to hit 40+ but there are mellower fun runs in the area.

As far as parking garages go, I've gone downtown but the best bet is CSUS.

Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else.

Ryan pretty much covered it, but the real hills lie in folsom and in rocklin.
Noon19 will have the info on rocklin, shoot him a PM.

I am originally from Sacramento, but I live in Huntington Beach right now. I am coming through Sacramento on my way to the Maryhill Festival of Speed. I am looking to skate Monday Night...Aug 23rd. Probably going to hit the backside of Park in Rocklin.

Does anyone know people that skate that area.

Yeah I've been over there, but that hill really isn't anything IMO. Bridge street and pennsylvania are pretty darn close to that and more fun! (for me at least). Found some good hills while exploring in El Dorado Hills on Serrano Prkwy.

Abrooks I'm pissed I won't be around when you come up. I know noon19 lives right up there, but he's headed up to mary as well.

I'd encourage you to think of Iron Point Road in Folsom. Backside is cool and can be 45-50 with no headwind, but Iron Point has a fantastic view and about 3/4 mile long. (40-45mph)

bagelbum · 08-07-2008, 08:46 PM

Full on... Then barbeque and chill... We need to get a good crew started for races and promotions... I am going to hit up some sponsors for next year to do some Super G and DH races so we need to show some streangth in numbers... Tactis will sponsor the first gig and we can put on a couple of outlaw quickies with after party and schwagg... we need at least 15 racers though even if their not experienced... Then we can build to invitational

and start throwing money in the hat!

As long as you have good knee and elbows and a real helmet you can kill these hills with a heavy cotton hoodie and levis... Just know your limits and kill the hill

I am down to skate with you guys when I come up. I will be there on the 25th all day. Then I am driving up Tuesday to Maryhill. I am going to skate Mt Tabor in Portland and the Mosier Twin tunnels.

My brother is going to Sac State right now and he is looking for people to speedboard with. I am stoked to get him hooked up with your crew.
