    Seconded, its been bad lately. I mean I don't really mind getting wet but tearing apart bearing to re-lube them or just buying new bearing really gets annoying after a while.

    Edit: Anyone up for some garage sessions?

    Every time I want to skate it is either raining or the streets are soaked. It just sucks.

    Skated Sunday with thunder clapping all around us, til the big drops started falling, then got SOAKED running to the cars.

    Awful weather.

    There's a good post about rain rigs w/ wheels made out of 2 rollerblade wheels here somewhere...
    What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

    The worst is when I am staring out my prison err cubicle window and it is sunny all day. I can't wait to get out and skate. Then I get home and it pours. This has happened every day this week so far. I am leaving work now to go skate a park in Hudson MA. Hopefully the black clouds won't follow me.

    It hits like 95 and then we get thunderstorms. It's been happening way more than normal, we're out of our 10 year drought for now. Fire season is going to be crazy, the vegetation is so dense and tall, when it dies there's gonna be a lot of fuel.

    i present a street surf slide sesh, complete with rash guard, hoodie, and flower boardshorts, it's amazing what happens when you get frustrated with the weather.







    ...don't worry, the board in question is aleady mutilated and has a broken tail, the bearings on the other hand actually still spin as of this morning somehow?

    yeah i will if i'm free and not busy fo sho, i'm gonna have to end up going to rehearsals/planning for my cousin's wedding, didn't think i was going to have to partake in any of that stuff.

    probably be skating sometime in mid pm if i can get out. scott will be down too probably if it's after 3pm providing the weather holds out.

    on a side note, you missed a sweet little drift/minor DH sesh today at miller's brook shawn, by that i mean me and scott drifted the four way and lower section of miller's brook and did a 3/4 bomb of hilltop.

    i also just broke down and ordered some crails...and some lime big zigs...hehe...

    yeah we'll have to just watch the skies, just checked weather.com, bascially it's going to be sunny, windy, cloudy, hot, humid, rainy, and thunderstorms as of right now. apparently no hurricanes, blizzards, or tornadoes, so that's a plus.

    What about removable seal bearing? Just re-lube them every time you need to.

    Yeah thats a fun little corner. It just rained for a bit here in Franklin MA. I am leaving here in about an hour. If it is not raining around 2:00 in RI, I'd be up for hitting it again.

    PM'd. Are you near Thayer street area Wells? I hit up the Prov Crete park last weekend for a bit. That bowl"ish area is a bit tight. Lot O vert for such low height. Almost face planted dropping in We should definatley all try to hit up Providence this weekend or something (Saturday Maybe)?

    I'm about 20 minutes from Thayer on the way to Newport.

    That section is like a swimming pool's shallow end, so it's steeper than the standard smooth skatepark style. I kinda like it, as there's only so much you can do when you're limited to 4' maximum height.

    Also, I'm almost always down for skating skateparks; so hit me up.

    I'm just gonna post my number: Four Oh One Two Five Two Nine Three Seven Four. txt msg me and identify yourself.
