So after schol gets out I'll be at my parents place in the springs for the summer. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good spots to hit other than my neighborhood. Lol. That gets a bit boring. Not into dh, but fast carving and cruising and ditches are cool too. Thanks all.
BTW: don't bother with the GOTG there are so many idiot tourists thee this time of year it's not even worth the drive over there. I skated some of the paths through it last tme I was home and it royally sucked.

I dont know but if you find places let me know! I would think west springs would be a haven, anywhere along the foothills. the cheyenne mountain are is probably an amazing area...

its seems like the south end of the foothills, just south of the broadamoor should be super nice, especially with how expensive the real estate is.
I used to go to the colorado springs school, so I am fairly familiar with that area...
maybe, like i said, what ive seen there, sketchy at best. And id venture a guess they might not want us skater punks in their haven of goodness. lol. i did find a killer slalom spot nar my house, but i haven't yet learned slalom.

I live in black forest up north and there are some pretty good spots around there. The north end of Milam rd. past Shoup rd. is an amazing hill, and that whole development of Cathedral Pines is pretty nice - new roads, lots of hills, curvy, ok visibility, etc. Also Roller Coaster Rd. is pretty good.
anyone know what the USAA garage is like, right off 83 over by the shops at briargate
Is that the one by T.Rowe Price? I've been wanting to ride that one for a while and haven't had a chance to get down there. I scoped it out once driving through and it's only like three levels but it's the only garage i've seen in that part of town.
I think there's a garage at the new Penrose North Hospital.
So we went and rode the garage at T. Rowe Price on wed. It was alright only 3 levels and alot of space between downhill sections. The guard was cool with us being there but the other guards inside saw us on the cameras and the outside guard warned us to leave before they came out. then I told my dad about it and he told me not to go there anymore. screw him I'm 18 now.

USAA garage was Sketchy
there's a crack every 15 feet and its not really the same smoothness of some other garages.
T.Rowe Garage is nice, but i got kicked out after about 20 minutes.
What yall talkn about doin those garages up north those suck weve got kicked out I almost hit the security guard cause he turned up while I was coming down. Me and my friends run in a crew of about 9 depending on the day but we have tons of spots. By woodmen there is a road that runs paralell to it that goes all the way down to I-25 its bumpy but nice for driveway hits and chilln. Then you've got the union dublin area that keeps its hills nice. (this is where I live right by cottonwood creek park). Youve got montarbor and northwind that are beautiful smooth steep hills that dump into dublin. If you move west you hit my friends neighborhood that is smooth as well and dumps into academy vickers or dublin. Then youve got union pass that takes you all the way to academy. Its a wide sidewalk. Then if you move down south towards wasson youve got all those hills that make you go fast. Like holiday hill we hit it thinking it was nothing but we got up to 40mph while carving and you have to carve it out before you hit Circle. Then at night we do 3am runs on the major roads like union research dublin. We go up north sometimes by 83 and hit the movie thatre entrance thats smooth and hit the fancy neigborhoods but they dont got hills. If you want a parking garage hit the downtown 1 its 7 stories of chill riding weve never got kicked out just stop at level 2 and take the elevator up. Other than that weve hit the broadmore after coming down from 4wheeling old stage roads in our jeeps its nice but watch out for security in the carts. Garden of the Gods isnt bad either just watch out for the blind corner with the guard rail its a hair pen turn but we slide anyway so its all good. We just ride and then explore man. The dublin area has insane hills that are wicked. Weve done woodmen west of 125 over by the rockrimon area but they have those big speed bumps that launch you. The you got goose gossage thats cool for carving the bowls. Good luck. Ive lived in Colorado Springs my whole life.
rollin in co spgs?
