Default Tailgate Picnic @ Overlook

Keep an eye open, and ears to the ground for this one. No worries, care-free day of skating, and BBQ picnic. We will set up the grill at Overlook park, where there is a small picnic area, and skate on Deerfield. There is also a sweet bike path that leads to the alternative picnic site, in case we need to expand or move. The community there is pretty indifferent to us skating, as long as we are safe, and do cause too much rawkus. The cars are slow and very manageable, and yes this is outlaw. The runs are great for sliding, drifting, and bombing. The bike path seems to go on forever with some excellent runs through-out. We hope to make this a Pot Luck, depending on the number of people who show, maybe even some shwag to give away.

I will be posting more photos,info, and event flyer soon. Check the Calender.

Here are the park sites, they have some photos and directions.

I'll keep my eyes peeled. Sounds like a chill time in a nice place, my kinda shindig.

I'd be down.

Does Riding High still have that warehouse I can crash in?

How long until Northern VT is no longer a winter wasteland?

I'd really like to come visit again hopefully with a better ending this time.

Give us a heads up when you're planning to have the event. I'd definitely be up for a trip to Vermont, we've been talking about getting out of the city for a change.

Is there any good camping in Vermont nearby? Preferably wilderness area, not campgrounds.

There are some good wilderness areas all around the park, some skating distance, I am not sure if it is completely legal to camp there, but there are some good spots for a night...as long as it's one night in one place, you should be fine.

Be checkin the fine event calender here on the 'fish for the exact date, time,directions, back-up venue, alternative parking, and item list. Since this is outlaw we are not advertising any times or dates on the flyer it's self.

Please refer to this site, PM me, or email at: 802lbc@gmail.com

Just got word that sector 9 is sending us some stuff, but we are still waiting for other sponsors. Check out the calender for more info. Dont worry about signing up, just show up!

Come early if you'd like for the Ridin' High Graffiti Party that is taking place the 11th and 12th of April. The shop gets a fresh coat of steez.

Things to bring and share:
Jugs....of water
fresh fruit and veggies
pasta
salad
pie and desserts

We will supply cups, plates, utensils, patties (veg and meat), buns, and condiments.
