my bro lives in northhampton too. Might have to give me a week to recuperate from the bomb but then i'm definitely down to take a lil road trip.
i think one of sofa's hills closes to traffic on nov 1st so we can hit that up the week before. Yay for smooth east coast pavement and euro style hairpins

Mt holyoke is closed to traffic on the weekends now. so any weekend from now on it should be skateable.

Time for another western ma session. The one last weekend was sick for all those who missed it.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend this road as a place to learn how to drift... it's much steeper than the photo makes it look, and on the outside of the turns there's a metal guard rail and then a rocky cliff face.

I would be down for another downhill session on the tenth. I know that Brian has some hills out there and I know of a lot that we should also skate. does everyone only want to do one day or make it the whole weekend?
