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

[doxastic]

Damn it!!! I miss the fridays already! I'm going to have to ditch class for sure.

[nervous ned]

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?

[Crappysurfer]

about 50miles in any direction outside of NYC should be a place where you can bbuy some speed

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.

Thanks.

What size wheels do you recommend for prospect? I have 72, 77 and I'm getting 85mm's

[Rabid Skunk]

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.

The 77's are S9 GOS 75A, 72's are S9 Nineball 78A and the 85 are kryptonics classic k 80A

[Rabid Skunk]

GOS are 76mm. At least I got the 72s right.

[nervous ned]

how badass would it be to bomb Sibbald for your first DH run ever?

[Rabid Skunk]

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

LOL I need to be breathing in order to go to college dude :P

But I may try it if there aren't tight turns...assuming I receive my armor on friday.

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.

[Alpha06]

Lol. I rather be safe than sorry. I already have 2 slipped disks, not making that mistake again.
