That's fine dude, we can even leave earlier so we can get there when it openss. I am pretty sure ant is sleeping at moy house on friday night so that will make things easier, just one stop and we are off.
I am still debating on which boards to bring though.
Well the park is open as long as the sun's up, so I'll be at your house at 7 in the morning then. You guys can sleep in the car on the way down anyway. Your going to probably want a board with a kick like your bulldog, with some hard wheels for speed. But any board will work, I've seen guys carve it on a pintail. Bring your other boards for the hills too.
Mike, I'm down for a late night bomb or a session during the day, So these other guys gotta put it to a vote, whatever's easier for them. We'll try to figure it out this weekend probably. Who know's, maybe we'll get crazy and just go for it late Saturday night too.
And Sean, I got the whole mild mannered peter parker desk job to do during the day, then I become my alter ego of skating super hero and martial arts master at night (slow day here )

ned, what do you think would be better for the camera? sunlight, or like streetlights everywhere in the garages?
hmmmm, not sure -- i'd personally like nighttime for atmosphere if the camera has low-light capability. it'd be amazing if i could find the infrared dv camera that a producer in New Jersey loaned us when we shot Squatter Teacher Haters; it's so beautiful when you add night-vision to his tech infrared filters. kinda post-apocalyptic feel. now that i think about it, he's got a beautiful hill on his street -- i may have to pay him a visit.
actually, it might make more sense for you guys to take turns shooting video while riding, cos i can't shoot and ride at the same time (i'm still technically a moron boarder at this point) and i'm too slow to outrun cops/security guards without killing myself...
I might be able to do it as long as the garages aren't sibbald steep. I can footbrake like a mofo. You guys would just have to buy me a new set of Chucks later
Hey Ned, so you gonna be in Jersey on Friday? Till when? Depending on what time you knuckleheads are hanging out to, I could possibly join you later after my classes. Sometimes we don't have anyone show up too since its on a Friday and most people are on vacation, so the Earliest I'll be done would be 6:30, the latest 8pm. I know a few lit parking garages we could hit up if everyone's down. Let me know.

Yeah, I'm taking off work at noon and heading over. I've got nothing going on Friday night, so I could def stick around later at night. That'd be awesome, cruise some Magnolia and Liberty in the afternoon, then catch some evening parking deck action. I like it...
ty guy... we need to plan out our attack for saturaday!!!!
as for tommorow (firday) anyone up for possibly hitting sibbald later on in the day and possibly at night?? cause if were going to do the same routine as the session, i donno i thought that hitting sibbald might be a necessity.... and day or night sibbald is fast....fast is good!!! back in the day we used to take night runs with herb...(EFFING CRAZY) so yea i am free the entire day so whatever goes down im ready!!!!!!
bob.... how much should i bring for saturday?? and tyler said hes getting wrist guards so would that be a good thing to bring? also i shouild bring all of my boards just incase we do some dh later on in the day??
ned... if we are filming tommorw... and you trust us enough tyler and i used to do chase shots down liberty where on person would ride with the camera and the other would be in front going hella fast.... looks really cook... yea and im having trouble getting the videos up so would you possibly be able to edit them and put them up?? ive got them on a cd so it would be kinda easy... im just a moron with it so i cant really do it...
Roast......you really don't have to bring any cash, I'm going to do the whole cooler gatorade deal again, but if you want just bring some money for food and $hit. The park is free. It would be good if you guys just bring all your boards, that way after the park we can hit the hills by my house and I'll show you some cool spots. I'll have my Fiance's car with one seat up so there's plenty of room for boards. Wrist guards would help too, espically if you've never skated a bowl before, but their not needed too badly. I know you guys know how to fall.

tyler/anthony... how long are your downhill speed boards, the ones you took down sibbald last week?
my roommate Bill (woodsmith/guitarmaker/overall genius) wants to design me a speedboard based on the aerodynamic setup of a formula racecar, complete with front and rear wings.
Dude, i was going to do that, make some wings out of this really nice carbon fiber I have and put a foam faring on it with a coat of glass on it for strenght.

yeah, he's decided he wants to mold the design from a carbon fiber/wood ply... we were looking at the design of chris chaput's 6-wheeler late last night and he got really into the design aspects of it... he then jumped onto a skateboard for the first time ever and was cruising around our neighborhood. he rides mongo like you.
so, on friday:
* should i head into tyler's town or sean's town???
* what time works for you guys?
* george, can you bring your camera as well? mine is so big, it might be nice to have a small one too.

yeah, my town is where the hills are, ull have to meet up with george at magnolia, i just found out i have work til 3 as well, oh yeah, hardy har har! looky heeeeere, you can only be a cool pie-rate if u have a parrot sidekick
All right you phuckin pirates, check this out: I just went to check out the runs for saturday, and you won't believe what I found.
First off: A brand new condo comunity with FRESHLY PAVED HILLS running all over it!!! Were talking virgin runs here!! We'll be naming some runs saturday, you can bet that.
But, best off, I turned into this empty park that sits ontop of a hill right by my house, and I find: A MOTHERPHUCKIN FRESH PAVED TWO LANE BIKE PATH THAT RUNS DOWN ALONGSIDE A CLIFF!!!! I got so stoked, I ran home, grabbed my sh!t, and went and skated this place for an hour in the sweltering heat. Its crazy fun! Ever see Jody Willcock's vid off the Landy site with the golf course? Yeah, its like that, only along a freakin cliff. Some nice turns, and a few sharp ones if you want to drift.
The only small lame thing I found, was that they put these speed hump things at the end of two runs I orginally knew about. It's okay though, there long and wide and totally able to ride over. All this is within not even of a mile of each other. Then its only a five minute car ride to some real steep sh!t.
Saturday is going to kick as$!!
Off to try and download the vids now.
Yarr.
