my brother lives by Towson he has a loaded fish but he said there isn't much to skate up there, where are good places in Towson? Fishtale mentioned garages, how strict are they about that? i only skated a parking garage in OC once at like 2 AM it was cool but i don't want to get charged cause forget that ill stick to the country hills

its a fun ride, but its pretty steep at the top at least 10%. And then it shoots down into left hand over 90* turn and then right back into a right hand over 90* turn and its a huge flat straightway till the bridge. Really nothing special in my opinion, just a really steep hill then a long straightaway. And with no car to drive you back up or anything it can get boring fast. But theres a garage in towson that closes down on weekends, but its only 5 stories and not that great. But it is fun and constant. I personally like it for dancing because you can keep a constant speed with carves for cross stepping and such.
