Check out the High Rollers - there is an intense LB crew in Burlington.

And go get a Single Chair Ale in the Magic Hat factory for me - ok? (Man I wish they would bottle that stuff)

Sorry - din't realize you were 14. The Ridin' High shop hosts weekly rides in Burlington. Check them out and you'll have a ton of people and places to ride...

Hey Pete,
Tom and I just got back from Overlook Park in South Burlington, off of Spear street. That is a good beginner/practice hill, if your not comfortable with speed, dont start at the top, work your way up.

yah me and my friends do that one all the time but its getting pretty boring doing the same run so i was just trying to get some suggestions for some good garages/hills in the area with about the same speed(maybe a little more) that are fairly turny and long. BTW are you one of the guys working down at Ridin' High?

[Raoul Duke]

Ya, I work at Ridin' High.

I really like Overlook for sliding, but I also get pretty sick doing the same thing over and over.

Deerfield, right next to Overlook, is a pretty fast run with some nice turns.

The White Barn, off of Spear street, has a really fun path attached to it, just watch out for walkers, families, and bikers.

There are a lot of good hills around that area, check out google maps.

Ride safe.

yah u kinda have to go into the neighborhoods/bikepaths.

[GravityRider15]

ohh. i wasn't crazy then about looking everywhere for big hills since my gravity carver couldn't handle.


but neway, HOLY ####, i was camping at New Discovery camp grounds, and when we would drive to Burlington, we would ride down a SICK 8 lane ( i think) high way in Marshfield. This is the sickest road I have ever seen, and there wasn't much traffic at all, and the speed limit is 35, but i bet you can go 50mph in a good tuck ( if i remember correctly)

i'll talk 2 my dad later about it because I can't exactly remember exactly where, but at the bottom there's a quiet intersection where the lights take forever to change, but if you ride it, then thats a good thing.

Maybe next time I'll ride parts of it and see how it is on my flushcut, and try not to fall off the cliff to the right of it.

And forgot to mention, the pavement IS SUPER SMOOTH(:

there are a lot of great hills, out side of burlington. Really, the best way to see them all is to skate with us!
