Roll call! Who is keep track of this thread? I'm gonna start some weekly sessions for anyone who wants to come. Sundays are gonna be cruising nights. Once school starts most of the cruising will probably be closer to UB cus there is a bunch of riders that go to school there that i know will be down. I'm also gonna be doing a bunch of slalom and sliding over the course of the week but no one is really doing that around here yet so until someone shows some interest im gonna be just doing it on my own. As far as bombing hills goes, thats gonna be a little more infrequent being that we need about an hour or more to drive to any descent hills. I'll probably be hitting up ontario for some hills if anyone wants to car pool.

oh and a question for you guys what is the fastest you guys have gone on a local hill ive hit thirty five on my board and it is just a 40 inch cruiser with blank trucks wheels and bearings
I've got my board set up mostly for LDP given our stated lack of hills... but I wonder how bad it would be at speed?
...I've got a set of wedged/dewedged Randals and just bought a Bennett and Tracker RT/S that haven't shown up yet (anyone local want to buy a brand new pair of Randal R11 150's? )
Where were those pictures taken? How far from West Seneca? I'm right at the 90/219 split.

hey man i found out ledge lane is literally right next to the eastern hills mall it is off of sheridan right after the bridge over transit if you know where that is the other one i couldnt find
oh snap! I havent checked in to this in a while! Sorry about the lack of responses, school gets in the way of my skating lol. Anyway to answer a bunch of questions, no there is no real good long board shops in Buffalo, there is plenty of hills in the area but you got to know where (and how) to look, fastest I've hit in the area is down by Boston at about 50, maybe a bit more. I don't check the fish as much as i used to so if you want to get a hold of me to skate email me at cjbliss@buffalo.edu
Also, someone said something about hills in lockport and yes there is some nice hills on the niagara escarpment there. I was in lewiston/cambria/lockport (went down the line) bombing hills on friday and there is some great beginners hills (lewiston had some more fun hills but the cops ruined our fun ) definitely let me know if anyone wants to hit some hills, i know were tons are of every skill level (even some i wont hit) and i actually have leathers im trying to sell right now if anyone needs some (size 44 us).
