Default Prospect Park

Does the Friday Night Prospect Park thing still happen? I've seen it once. It's like a race, but not really.

Look in the RIP thread, somewhere in the first few pages there is a map that shows you. I'd give you a street address to the entrance that goes right into our hill, but I don't know the exact street. Something like 15st and Prospect Park south or southwest.

Hey you guys should check out this site, its not perfect and I think you have to register for full details, but its not bad to look up some runs.

Longboardmaps.com: Find A Run

Oh and the good hill (with traffic) is on the South West side of the park that starts enters at 16th st and Prospect place (or Centre dr and Prospect park southwest) and leads to park circle by coney Island ave at the most southern part of the the park.

the hill from grand army against traffic is arguably the largest and most dangerous hill in the park, I've ridden it a couple times without knowing how to slide and you better be sure theres no traffic coming up at you. Its probably a quarter mile down hill at 25 degree grade with a blind right turn at the bottom run off. Good stuff

Ride safe all.

That's my favorite hill in Brooklyn--people call it the "wrong way hill." But you've got to use it cautiously, not only because you could get seriously banged up at the blind corners top and bottom, but because too much indiscriminate bombing will piss off the bike nazis and they'll cry and call the cops.

That hill is not a 25 degree grade, not even close. More like 4 tops.
