    There was no way that was right. I was definitely ripping a 31 or 32.

    I'm in Brooklyn and I'm looking for a place where I can feel speed

    Is prospect park it? P.S I am a total beginner but I want to ride fast one time before I leave for college (Geneseo) on the 11'th so I really want to make it on the upcoming friday.

    How much protection should I bring? I have/am getting a full armor suit and a dot moto helmet but is that too much?

    Prospect park is the place you want to be. Make sure to have the full suit and the helmet, you don't want to fall going that fast unprotected. It's a fun hill, but make sure you have enough experience to handle the speed before you throw yourself down that monster.

    85s. I'm guessing they would be the speedvents? 77 would be speedvents too. 72, topshelf 9balls? that's just a guess. Any of those wheels would really be fine.

    It wouldn't be? Prospect park is a much bigger hill, now that would be badass.

    Don't listen to Mr. Skunk. You will be the only one in body armor and a fullface when you get there if you do.
