Greetings from Iowa

[papesmcgee]

Hey guys, ive been lurkin for a lil while checkin out this site, decided to make my first post and share some pics from a killer spot we have here in good ole corn country....

the kid taken the pics is pretty terrible at timin shots but you get an idea...
its a spill way that starts out at about 14ish feet on one end, and goes to bout 35-40 feet at the big side...its all smooth as #### and you can roll in and carve back at it a good three or four times, pretty stellar spot


-standin on the small side


-me rollin in on the small side


-carvin back at it, he never could catch me at the top of the carve, but heres one of me approaching the wall again...

What's up, man? I lived in the QC until like 2 months ago. I still go back every few months. My buddies and I never ran into any other longboarders there -- we always thought it was just the four of us.

The spot is Coralville Lake, right? Man, I don't know why I never thought about skating there!

wow. thanks for making me jealous haha. I was just in Iowa this summer. What I would have given to be able to skate that spot.

Yeah man thats Coralville,we call it Echo Beach, its a crazy good time....Theres actually a good crew of riders in the QC. For the last go skate day we got like 15 peeps together and rode from the 74 bridge in Bett. all the way down across the arsenal and into Rock Island and back.Takin over streets, it was epic. We even got a guy that builds custom boards in town.

How's it going all?

Just got settled in at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon Iowa. Looking for some guys to spread the stoke with before the snow comes. I've been scoping out the area and there's some wicked hills, and nearby we got the palisades and a bunch of parks scattered by Iowa City and Cedar Rapids with some clean trails.

Hit me up, (847) 910-5710. The names Sean
