[teddy]

Yo DH dudes this thread is for the peeps that skate A2 or very close to A2!

This will keep us locals in our loop of whats shaking.

Theres a open skate June 21st at Sun & Snow in A2....... free food, free music, free mini ramps/rails etc....

Check out a2skatepark for the details.......

Some sessions happen Wed after noons at 1pm up on Pomona and surrounding streets, theres another sweet spot north and west across M-14 off Newport.......

Post up

One last edit: I buy 90% of my skate stuff from Launch Board Shop, in Ann Arbor, on South University street. They will order just about anything for me. They go out of their way to keep stuff LOCAL!!!! They don't know much about DH but DO NOT DISS this aspect of skating!

[teddy]

Well i'll ride for a bit this wed, I have some other things to do around 3 so its a short session for me............

Anyone?

Would like to make it out soon, this wednesday is pretty busy though.

I'm over in 1 city north of Detroit, and I'm thinking about heading over to Ann Arbor for a day trip this summer. Do you guys have any sort of all day skate thing planned? Or a big session at least? When my Mosquito comes I'll head over.

Hey teddy, I can do a wednesday sesh this coming wednesday.
You down?
And is that the skateshop thats downstairs near that shoe shop, right near the diag?
Haha, I walked in there once but got uncomfy because there were like 15 kids talking at once, and I walked in the middle of a conversation.

[ska1234]

Yo man, you up for any sesh's lately? I'm back into skating full on and would love a few nice roads to skate.

[Petary791]

Hey A2 crew. I'll be heading over to Ann Arbor October 17th-19th, so anybody wanna skate? It would have to be night sessions because I'll be at the Chapman Stick Seminar during the days. Let me know what you think.

I'm down for a skate man. Hit me up on aim or myspace (the links should be on my profile.)

I'll definitely contact you when I'm heading to A2.

Man I see about 30 longboarders a day here. I'd expect waaaay more UoM people on SF.

I'm pretty bad and I ride an oldish beatup Sector9 with Gullwing Alpines and some Arbor wheels, but I'm down to skate if anyone's around (and maybe get some upgrades to tide me over until my Mermaid shows up).

[Doors]

Any new runs discovered in A2 that are worth making the trip out for?

[mr. rub-a-dub]

Hey man I live in Ann Arbor (freshy at U of M) and the cemetery right across the street from my house is amazing.

And have you gone to the skate shop up by North Campus?

Drop me a line if you want to skate sometime.

[mr. rub-a-dub]

An can someone explain the skateboard laws here... I heard it was illegal in some spots?

[f0rf0r]

i saw a sign on main by all the fancy restaurants/shops that said no skateboarding but it's the only one i've seen (and nobody's bothered me about it).

Okay so stay away from Main St.?

I live in Oxford so I am way distanced from all that, and the cemetery is right by. Does anyone know any good open parking lots where you can practice tricks? Like parking garages or something?

[f0rf0r]

Well there's garages all over the place, but I haven't checked any of them out. I'm in South Quad so most of my riding's been around the diag.. been really tempted to haul ass through the chem building.

[mr. rub-a-dub]

Hahaha the chem building would be the ####.

Check your PM's, I'll give you my facebook info if you want to skate sometime.
