So with everyone coming home for thanksgiving break, and not having to worry about doing work for a bit, it seems like the perfect time for a big sesh.
When: 12noon Saturday after thanksgiving (11/28/09)
Where: Cherry Hill/Marlton, NJ (still debating between two locations)
What: Both locations have some sweet slide hills with awesome pavement, (nothing serious for DH but both spots have 30mph runs)
*Disclaimer: The odds of a having a fully cooked turkey powersliding on an FSM is very unlikely*

sweet, sounds like its going to be an awesome sesh. i'll make sure to pm the location/directions to everyone in this thread a week or so before the date.
A bit of info about the location: Its three hills that all meet at the top (think like ski slope style with three paths to choose from the top). ones really steep, one is a long right hand turn, and the other is straight.
If you bomb them you'll hit about 30, with sliding they're long enough to get a few solid slides in. Wide roads and very little traffic (a few cars an hour). and great pavement for sliding. they're similer in length/grade to the hill that the NJ slide jam was at this year.
ATTN BEGINNERS: if your competent at sliding/controlling your speed etc you'll be fine.. If you don't know how to stop you theres one with a nice long runout . but seriously use your judgement, if your expirienced its not a difficult ride, but I've heard about a few skaters lost control on this hill and got seriously injured/paralyzed/died so be smart, wear your gear, and skate whithin your limits.

sweet, its looking like its going to be a nice day, 0% chance of rain, and sunny. Its just supposed to be a bit windy. if its nice tomorrow i might be heading over there for some skating so if i do i'll try to remember to take a few shots of the hill to post here.

that was a great ride i really enjoyed the first hill. but I wish my arm wasn't broken so i coulda made the turn on the back side of signal hill rode. (I was the one who ran into the car lol) but still one of my best sessions in a while.
Sorry I couldn't make it. I was really looking forward to it, but I decided to blow my shift linkage out instead and spend my day getting my car towed. Pretty awesome huh? =/
