I've got more than enough hill's to take up multiple weekends.
Whenever you are all ready.

High Speed Low Speed No Speed.
You name it.

You betcha - just wating for the warmer weather - and I wanna meet Pat damit!!!

**neuros** · 02-25-2008 07:13 AM

What's no-speed? Probably like skating in Boston
I'm down, my roomie probably is too. Weather's getting nicer, too... We're most likely down for some Sunday, I'll just keep track of this to see what's up.
My spring break is coming up, too... Once I come back from GA I'm sure I'll be getting out a lot.

Don't feel like making a new thread so I guess I'm going to start using this for sessions across the entire state.

Me and Orion hit some awsome run's today.
Skated from sun up to sun down.

Hope next weekend we can get some more people out with us.

The area near GreenTree is Loaded with awsome speed runs.

Traffic kinda but not bad, you go fast enough to flow with it.

really, I can't wait to get back there again, and on a day hopefully with less wind.

I went out with a few friends for a while yesterday, and took a few DH runs, but now nothing compares to Greentree

BTW, Briggs, watching you throwing those sweet check slides on sunday finally inspired me to go out and learn to throw them myself, so much fun. I never really tried doing them at speed or much at all until Sunday night in my area.

**rips4stoke** · 03-04-2008 03:07 PM

Ya you just kinda have to lean hard into a heelside then pop and lock your back leg out.
Loose as hell trucks help a lot too.

Dude Rob I bomed raymond today before it started to rain and there were two cops behind me the whole time. i waited for a car so i could race it and i noticed a cop and i said f it man and went i stayed in front the whole time in the middle of the road my heart was pumping so fast i thought i was going to get a ticket but no nothing the just drove right past me a the bottom and didnt even stop me you know i think they had to be some where cause they always stop us

**RBriggs85** · 03-05-2008 06:58 PM

I've got some good spots lined up, most are fairly close to each other.
This saturday and/or sunday I'll be making my rounds on some roads I've lacked the skills to hit if anyone is down.

I'd be down for Sunday if I can get a ride or if I have a car, whereabouts dude?

**onthespoke** · 03-05-2008 07:08 PM

[edit] I've got saturday.
Where abouts you gonna be?
If someone's got a van i might be able to convince the girly to come down and do shuttle duty?
All i've got is a sedan.

**RBriggs85** · 03-05-2008 07:38 PM

We have to wait on the weather for saturday right now they are forcasting rain I hope it clears.

I've got a great meeting place that is basically central to all that is near here.
220 New Britain Road Plainville, CT 06062 - Google Maps
This link is the address to a Lowes Movie Theater.
It's in a huge shopping plaza.
We will meet up in parking lot closet/directly in front of the theater itself.

I think it is best to try and have session's start a little earlier in the morning as there is less traffic.
Maybe meet up at 8-9AM?

I just don't know which day yet.
