U.P. Longboarding

[Jonathon Schumaker]

Hello everyone!

As we know, the longboarding scene in the U.P. (if you're not from the U.P. it means the Upper Peninsula) is quite small.

SO, here we are making a thread where we can get together and share some good runs and information.

I will be posting my runs near my house once I finally get my camera!

I wish I could join, rip it for me. Maybe I can come up after Rothbury or something.

[Jonathon Schumaker]

Also, if you are going to visit the U.P. stop by here and give us a shout and maybe we can all meet up.

Petary, dude you have to come up and visit some of these hills.

[hindsketchup]

anyone near iron mtn?

[Jonathon Schumaker]

I am right by Gladstone, but I am used I traveling a lot so we can meet up where there are hills and skate. The scene up here is not big so I want people to get a crew together and make it bigger!

Hey good to see some life on this thread. Yeah i'm right in marquette at NMU, i dont know how much i'll be here in the summer though because i'm from downstate by detroit. But if youre ever up here definitely let us know maybe we can arrange something. I'm pretty new to the sport still, but i'm in to downhill.

MNposter Child: It'd be sweet to get some events or races around here going, but first we gotta find some people haha i see a ton of people boarding around campus, but this thread has been pretty quiet and i haven't seen another about longboarding up here..

Shoooot, how many UP threads do we have now, let's stick with this one. I'll be here to ride for a few months. I'm in L'Anse but can head to MQT/Houghton regularly.

[Brants]

I'm in Petoskey area, but can easily shoot up, if anythings going down.

[oxmastodonxo]

Im in Marquette, MI I skate the campus of NMU and multiple spots around Marquette... if you want to go skate or if you have a group let me know.. I skate regularly with 2 guys. I'd be great to learn some new locations to go and such.

I'm up in Grand Marais, with about 5 people who ride daily. Next time I go to Duluth, I'm going to bring my board so I can hit some hills with a friend. Me and my friend have been riding for about 3 years. If anyone knows of any good hills with low traffic, let me know of them.

I'll try and hit you up when I head up there to kayak.

That would be sweet! Grand Marais is like the mini Duluth, only with no traffic and maybe not as good of hills.
