Vermont Speedboarding

[GravityRider15]

Been lookoing forward to the summer, and began to think about planning a trip up to Vermont in mid June. I'm looking to go up to the Burlington area, since last time I was there, there were a ton of nice hills, and all in all, its a nice place to be. So far mjkam11 is down ( if he gets the dinero), and jam would like to make the trip as well. Hopefully we can get together maybe 5-6 guys to go up with us. Its about a 7 hour ride by bus ride, but its definitely worth it.
Now the down sides. None of us can drive, but luckily, there are a bunch of buses up in Burlington. Also, the fact that none of us are 18 means that we can't rent a room at a hotel, but if someone who comes along is 18, then were good.
If people are up for it, we can do some ghetto ass camping and save some money also.


If anyone is interested just hit me a pm or whatever.

Thanks

I might chum on up, VT is a short ride and I may have Th-Fr-Sa-Su off every week.
And, I'm 21... So hotel rooms are not a problem. Neither, in theory, is booze.

I've been all over vermont (on google earth) and there are a lot of excellent dh runs. I'd like to rent a van, or two, load it up with skate and camping gear and go for a tour.

sounds cool. anyone know New Discovery camp grounds?
I remember a bunch of nice runs around there

well, since it sounds like we'll have a car, why not go to other areas besides than Burlington, and instead of like a 3-4 day trip, make it 4-5 days. I'm up for it

Seems like a lot of people are up for this trip. I just wanted ideas on what day during the week is the best to make the trip.

AFter school is done. I get out of school beginning of June, so I was thinking sometime late June, before the 4th of July

Gravity, when your talking about speedboarding, are you talking about like hills where you need leathers or just hills like under 40? Just a question because there are both up here. If you came up, there are a few guys that have leathers and know some good hills.

Just looking for some nice rides, that are smooth, maybe a bit technical. Speeds can vary. As long as most of us can pendy, which I think we all probably can, we can handle most of the hills.

Me and few people could plan a trip to burlington my grandparents live in Stowe VT so thats about 45 minutes from burlington, or I could just stay at UVm with my cousin. But yeah sometime in June would be a good time. let me know so I can plan accordingly.

When I went last summer I met up with people from Ridin High, I know a few people from ridin high are looking at this thread so maybe we could set something up so that we all met at your shop and went from there? I know you guys have a bus or something that can bring you around?

That would be cool.
As of now, I'm looking at going for 4 days. I was planning the first night, we'll stay at a cheap hotel, and then for the rest of the trip, hit up some local campgrounds. I have one in mind called New Discovery up in Marshfield . We can stay in Burlington for the first couple days. Then for the rest of the trip check out some other areas around this campsite, which I remember had nice hills, ( Most of Vermont does anyway), and just have a good time.
For me, schools out in about 3 weeks, so once I'm out, I should have the plans down shortly after.

Just a small idea of how the Burlington scene is.
