Anyone in Israel?

[thermodood]

Most if the time I'm in the UK but I've got family in Haifa, in the north of Israel on the coast. Just curious if anyone on here has been there. Seems like it'd be good for DH, the entire place is built on a mountain. On the downside it does have some pretty rough roads.

[kliker999]

not to mention drivers willing to kill

[gavmck]

Well I WILL be there in a week and a half, sounds gnarly out there, going to Tel Aviv for a friends wedding, you reckon it's alright to skate out there? I has the fear...

The drivers in Israel are a bit aggressive, I've never had anyone actively trying to hit me but they do seem to act as if you're not there.
Never been to Tel Aviv for more than a few hours so I can't really say anything about it, but the weather is pretty much guaranteed to be good, was over 30 degrees the entire time I was in Haifa.

Belive me the drivers in Italy are worse.

In Tel Aviv there is not a big hill. Only for a slide sessions.

The road to the dead sea is one of the best in the world.
And we have some nice Downhill road in Jerusalem closed for trafic.

Hope to see you soon

I think I'll be coming to Israel this summer. I am going to be working at a Monkey Park.

Anyone willing to take me to some gnar hills? I want to hit some of the roads that lead to the dead sea.

[elguajiro]

I live in the Old City of Jerusalem right now, and will be in Herzliya come October. Hit me up!

The road that runs east from Jerusalem? In my recollection, it's long, wide, well paved, and enticing. It's been a while since I was out that way, and I wasn't taking too critical of an eye towards the road; rather I was focused on the natural beauty of the Judaean Desert. My curiosity has been aroused now.

cus I couldnt get a facepalm pic to embed! haha

but ja, Israel is part of the Middle East, and therefor Asia.

[elguajiro]

Point well made. I just posted in the first thread I found without searching the forums, like a n00b. There are already 3 threads in the Asia section. Woops. No disrespect meant to Africa; if you guys don't want us, we'll stay well in Asia.

[mattyoaks]

hahaha its all good, you guys can stay in Asia

Haha, half my family is from there, my grandfather used to have a place at the top of the Carmel, wickedest hill to bomb EVER

[elguajiro]

Ah, so they start to come out of the woodwork...
