Damn 6pm, I think you're better off just heading to the RIP (at 8pm) and to get there you take the "F" train. This is complicated for a non-new yorker to understand, but you take a Brooklyn bound "A" train to Jay Street (in brooklyn). You then get off and transfer to an "F" train that is on the same platform (should be a brooklyn/coney Island bound local train) and you take it to 15st/prospect park.

when you say train you mean a subway right? not a streetcar or something...

lol andrew, don't worry, I know how to get there. We'll have time to drop off our stuff and then head over to the rip.

Me and my boy Julz will be heading in around 8ish hopefully we will see some riders in Grande Central were planing on just riding from there to the park.

!

Yup, we'll definitely go to the earthwing party at 8pm (that'll pretty much be the highlight of the whole weekend in my opinion). the cookout is 100% optional, just a chill spot for anyone who wants some free food, beer and a spot to crash out for a while after the race. We'll probably take the G-train from my house to Bushwick; it'd be about a 20-30 minute subway ride from my house.

[ridesnow.]

so are people going to watchower after the race?

[nervous ned]

yeah, people will go to Watchtower to slide -- you'll have no trouble finding them...

[ridesnow.]

alright, good stuff. SO STOKED FOR THIS. man. i can't wait... see every one at the rip or the race.

[sprodigy]

okay so I'll probably be arriving at Grand Central around 9:40am on Saturday.

Do the locals agree that the most effecient way to columbus circle would be to board there? Anyone else gonna be in G Central around then and wanna meet up?

yea just board there, its only like a mile or so and the train commute there is too complicated for me to want to explain.

I think some skaters from Fairfield CT (Joe the Penguin and Jules) will be arriving about the same time, so maybe watch out for them. They'll be holding Loaded boards.

Leave Grand Central at 42nd Street/Lexington, figure out which way North is (higher numbers) and skate until you get to 59/60th Street where it dead ends into Central Park. Turn left and skate to the west edge of the park. That's Columbus Circle. Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes to get there, tops.

[batfitches]

Wish I could be there guys. Last year was tooo rad. Only if I didn't live on the west coast.

You can meet him if he makes it over to Chalet Freeride.
