    Default Iowa?

    Any Iowa kids on here? As far as I know it is just myself and about 8 of my friends who longboard in eastern Iowa. Anybody else shred it up?

    What's up dude? There are boarders out there. I used to live near Waterloo for 26 years then I moved to NYC two years ago. I was able to get some homies into cruising and bombing back in the day but sadly they would rather play halo then rip a sick hill. Hang in there and I'm sure more will come out of the woodwork.

    Peace.

    I'm from Dubuque and currently go to school in Ames. The Mines of Spain has a few great runs and the pavement is smooth. There are also some great hills around Senior High School that are great for carving.

    A small group is planning to push the Prairie Farmer Trail on Sunday or Monday of Memorial Day weekend. Anyone already pushed this one?

    INHF-Iowa by Trail: Prairie Farmer Recreational Trail Introduction

    It is new in 2008 so I am expecting the surface to be buttery!

    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


    Set Ups:

    Loaded Dancer, Randall 180's, Purp Stims
    Arbor Axis Bamboo, Paris 180's, Yellow Durians
    Old School Powell Board , Randall 180's, S9 mini wheels
    Be the change you want to see in the world

    Hey,, iowa city here too. Man the hills around here are def not downtown... head out prairie du chien road and go out towards sugar bottom. not very long hills, but way bigger than in town. i road trip to the mississippi sometimes too, thats where the big ones hide out. State parks are the way to go.

    imu parking ramp is pretty fun too

    If you are down to bomb sometime let me know. drop me an email... mountainpunk@hotmail.com. put longboard or iowa city or somethin in the title so i know to open it.
