yea..im not rly a crazy DH bomber either..

we should set up a sesh sometime in either Cold Spring or Croton. that would be sick

Hi all. If you're coming through Cold Spring, pm me. I'm there usually every other weekend and most weekdays (freeish: I "work" at home.)

301 is probably the best bet. But also interesting: the local school, Haldane, is up on the hill above town, and the drives and lots there are pretty cool. Short, tricky runs for practicing. There's hairpins in both directions and some other interesting stuff. Saw a cop once and he was like, yeah, no problem, just don't skate on Main Street (301 through town)....

Agent: Have you tried skating 9D south of Beacon? The last long hill into a left before it flats out on the way to the tunnel? Looks so good, but that whole road is like hot flaming death with stupid drivers and no shoulder.

yeah...i dont mean to be selfish, but i cant drive and my paranoid parents would never let me take the train up 2 coldspring alone w/ my longboard, so croton would definitely work out better and i have like 5-6 ppl i could get to join us and although our cops here are MAJOR assholes about everything, 4 some reason there chill with the ppl who longboard

id be down to skate that school, and 9D is so full of traffic you would have to skate it really early. but id be down to skate croton to whichever

idk if you guys have boarded down 301 yet but is it like a legit highspeed bomb or is it just like a fun, fast carveable road?

**The_Agent007** · 07-10-2009 04:03 PM

i wanna try 9D heading towards the flats, that turn at the bottom might be a lil tough to make unless you can drift it around. As far a 301 there like to spots to do, you've got 301 out by the state land which would be pretty much bombing, with so slightly tough turn just cause of traffic. 301 towards cold springs is pretty much stright, still bomber speeds, but its got a long flat run out to it

i dont even have slide gloves 4 christ sake...

**The_Agent007** · 07-11-2009 10:53 AM

it's all good...... i cant slide to save my life, tho that might be due to my wheels and lack of slide gloves.

Ouch. I was going to neg rep you in the new rep thread

just for fun--you know there are some guys who would kill for a -67--but now that you've scraped the skin off your hands I'm feeling sympathetic. Heal up!

**The_Agent007** · 07-14-2009 07:59 PM

Damn.... that sucks. i thought side swipe'n a car doing 25 ish was bad, but you did a full on belly slide of doom.

**raynerider** · 07-15-2009 08:12 AM
