Durango police are not very nice about you longboarding on thier asphalt. I was on vacation there 2 years ago and a state trooper pulled me over, then on another incident another day a city cop stops me and says no skating on the asphalt/street. The city cop was pretty nice an I wasnt rude or any thing. I told them I was on vacation. He said to ride on the sidewalk /bike path. I did have a blast though. A really sick run would be to ride down coal bank pass into silverton.

Just saw this on the event posting from Durango Boards:

"Very Upsetting to announce, but the City Of Durango decided to Unapprove our Permit for this sick hill. That is "Permit Denied"! There will be no skateboard races of any kind. Sorry!"
