    Default Speedboarding in MA

    I am looking at going to graduate school in MA. I was just wondering if there is a speedboarding scene up there. Are there hills worth riding? I'm so addicted to speedboarding, I wouldn't know what to do without it.

    There's a lot of riding out west, Amherst and the lot, and further, into NYC. Boston's got ####.
    Lots to run in CT, VT, NH...

    It'll be a couple years. But I'm hoping to get into Harvard Business School. Gotta keep those grades up.

    Neuros knows what's good, if you're looking for the big stuff you gotta head out to the Western MA area. There's some rad roads out there, as well as down into CT. We've got a pretty big local scene, once you get out and start meeting people at races we'll hook it up with some fat speed sessions.
