NYC - Earthwing RIP Updates

[SpeedFiend]

has nothing to do with a cop out, it has to do with what i find more fun, which happens to be taking a car to the mountains. since when is racing down broadway more fun than speedboarding?

for me skating has very little to do with the people, it has to do with me escaping life and having fun. i dont skate to avoid cars, dodge bikes etc.

Why don't you just put "I don't like skating with people, I'm never coming to a session." in your signature and just leave it at that? would clear a lot up

[SpeedFiend]

this started by me saying "im headed to the mountains, anyone wanna join me?"

this is earlier this summer. notice how the truck gets out of my way.

I went to Stamford and did a badly-bailed cess slide today. My ankle's out until at least the weekend. If there's an epic session going down I can drive and photograph.

[Pat S]

Sucks about that Max, were you trying to ride out of one in the big bowl?

I think we might be #### out of luck due to the weather to skate this weekend- sunday will hopefully clear up.

[Jam]

get well max.

pat fifi might be around to skate

[Jam]

holy shi.t speedfiend. lol

[SpeedFiend]

i was drifting in that turn with the camera in my backside hand and then saw the truck, that was my 2nd run of the day, all the rest turned out better.

Wtf is going on in this thread lol? Lamesauce.

My bus arrives 7AM in Manhattan. I'll go to the slide thing, broadway bomb if I get sleep on the bus. I posted the following info on the EW facebook group, any updates to the location/times?

Friday

Friday Night Rips --- Prospect Park, Brooklyn ---- 10/10/08 ---- 8pm Earthwing Skateboards is hosting the Friday Night Rips. where there will be sliding and wheelies. To get there take the F train 15th Street then skate into the park at 15th and Prospect Park West, turn right at the main loop and skate till you get to the hill where the skaters are gathered.

Saturday

Broadway Bomb ---- Riverside Park, Manhattan ---- 10/11/08 ----- 12pm We will at 116th Street and Riverside Park try to be there early we will start the race around 12:30 or at the first sign of the man. We will be assigning number cards for people to hold, then show as they cross the finish line. The Race is from 116th and Broadway to Bowling Green. About 8.2 miles OK for those of you who haven't done this race before. THIS RACE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! NO ONE UNDER 18 WILL BE ALLOWED TO RACE! If you have not been skating in traffic for many years I suggest that you take it easy. PLEASE WEAR A HELMET. That one thing can save your life. OK! Had to get that out! Once you get the finish line at Bowling Green (A few blocks below Wall Street.) Its important to show your assigned number so we can record your time. After some photo Ops with the Bull at Bowling Green, we move on to the barbecue.

Barbecue ---- East River Park ----- 10/11/08 2pm –---- 6pm Burgers! Beer! Trophies! Skateboard Prizes! And Money!!! Sounds like the makings of a kickass barbecue to me!!! The barbecue is a great opportunity to get to know some of the people who were crazy enough to skate with you down Broadway in Traffic.

Sunday

Powerslide Jam ------ Fort Tryon Park ----- 10/12/08 ------ 3pm Hosted by Earthwing Skateboards the Jam will be about SERIOUS SLIDING down some nice hills in the Cloisters in upper Manhattan. If you take the A train to 190th street you will come out in the park. If you are closer to the 1 train then take it to 191st street. If you're driving from NJ come over the George Washington Bridge, turn uptown on Broadway and go to 190th street. Then your gonna want to skate down the hill and listen for the sound of cheering skateboarders.

no one under 18 can race? its an outlaw. whos going to stop them?

[Alpha06]

I didn't write that, i posted it, i'm just asking if the information is up to date or not...I don't care who races and who doesn't, it's not of my concern.

[Pat S]

Anybody can race- the 18 year old rule isnt enforced at all.

seems like the dates are right, its just not factually correct i guess, who cares anyhow.

pavement is dry at the park for the most part and not many people there, my kinda night for skating.

I am in the market for a Rogers Bros topmount. Maybe I'll see you there, and you'll be kind enough to let me try it out.8)
