damn! that's a whole month earlier than when i plan to be there...

pyrate · 01-26-2007, 05:27 PM

i heard last year it was weird... real nice weather that week if i recall.
this year i might just go check it out if some of the crew want to go. im not snowboarding, but i think it would be cool to see.

hey shapeshifter, this isn't the Central Park race, if that's what you're thinking. This is a snowboard halfpipe in Central Park. not sure if there's any confusion in that first post.

roastbeef540 · 01-29-2007, 04:14 PM

they just setup a half tube in the middle of the park or something?

nervous ned · 01-30-2007, 11:58 AM

yeah, sounds like it's just a halfpipe in the middle of Central Park.
I have no idea how many people show up.

Jam · 01-30-2007, 02:12 PM

I checked the video on their site....and there seemed to be a crapload of people....but all I saw was a launch rampand jump....not pipe...but yeah.

If weather gets better (ie, no snow/ice/rain), does anyone want to take some laps around Central Park next Saturday? Then hit up Brooklyn Banks, or Prospect Park for slides.

Perhaps the Pennsylvania Longboard Gentleman's Club would like to join us.
Yo Worm, Crappy, Sweatpants -- what's up???

Crappysurfer · 02-05-2007, 09:45 PM
