The Jersey Jumpoff rolls again!!!!!

The Annual Summer Madness Jam!!

After doing the same thing last year, and realizing how fun it was.... I've decided to make this a recurring part of the Jersey Jumpoff. We start at 12 midnight, and skate till the sun rises.

Listen to "Summer Madness" by Kool and the Gang to imagine the vibe for the night. One part hot, One part cool, and all parts good ya dig.

We'll be hitting some new spots this time around as you know I always keep things fresh.

Here's the details, and hope some of you can hang.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When:::::Saturday, August 9th 2008 AKA 8/9/08

Where::::: I'll meet up with all the NYC crew on the NE corner of The Port Authority at 11:30pm . From there we'll hang out and wait for stragglers to arrive and leave at exactly 12:00 midnight and head into Jersey via the mini-bus for "Blvd. East" across the street. For those already in NJ. You can meet us at the White Castle on the corner of 91st Street/Bergenline Avenue in North Bergen, NJ. There is plenty of parking in the mini-mall on 89th Street/Bergenline Ave AKA CVS and Quick Check (Do not park in White Castle).

What::::: This is a longboard free-ride, get to skate with some cool people, and do something different with your Summer. Anyone is invited.. bring a friend. We'll be skating some big hills and small hills, flat-straight aways, parking garages, and whatever else you like. Sweeping panoramic views of NYC. We'll be skating through Fairview, North Bergen, West New York, Union City, Weehawken and ending in Hoboken.

From here you can take the Path train back into NYC or other transportation back to where your car is.

There is no definitive end time, but if someone has to leave early, I'll do what I can to point them in the right direction to get back to their home.

Come out skate and bring nothing but your skateboard and a good time!

Any questions.. just let me know.

Sounds amazing. I always love skating Jersey and NYC. So that's August 9th at 11:30pm?! I'm a little confused with the midnight thing.

a_d_smooth · 07-01-2008, 10:44 AM

hahaha no one else know about those hairpins gordo. I'm not trying to keep it a secret, cause I'm not like that, but there are only so many hills you can skate, know what i'm saying.... on the other hand, 4am hairpins in Hoboken is definitely a possibility... thanks Pat. If you wanna know what I'm talking about (hairpin), check out:

Rt. 5 in Edgewater, NJ off of Palisades Avenue. Keep an eye out for the green parrots at the bottom of the hill, I never knew there were wild parrots in NJ....its true.

gordo6987 · 07-01-2008, 02:39 PM

yes wild parrots...there cool as hell.

stringtheory · 07-01-2008, 03:48 PM

Thanks, I'm glad everyone had fun in the past... and this one should be no different. I'm not getting sponsors this time, .... getting sponsors was really time consuming, I don't feel like soliciting companies right now. However, that's not to say it won't maybe happen at a future event.

krebhorn · 07-01-2008, 07:13 PM

i'm so in. Pat, i hope you know how to get there, big black is coming too

TheKraken · 07-01-2008, 09:41 PM

What kind of board should i bring? DH or carving?

a_d_smooth · 07-02-2008, 02:07 AM

I'll say go with the carve deck...

a_d_smooth · 07-02-2008, 01:34 PM

Here's the flyer, a little late....

stringtheory · 07-02-2008, 01:38 PM

I'm rockin' a Dervish with Maguns and Orangatangs.

gordo6987 · 07-02-2008, 03:29 PM

ill probably bring my race board and loosen up the trucks and or my comet voodoo if i still have it and if i dont ill bring the carbon trylam im trading it for!.

stringtheory · 07-02-2008, 03:46 PM

I was j/k! I don't own that deck or any of those parts.

I'll probably bring my Hellcat, just loosen it up a bit like I did for the CPR, or my Supercharger.
