Keep in touch!
We are due west of Daytona Beach.
St. Auggie has one of the nicest parks in the state, too.

I have a pass to Kona, in Jax.
Most of the old school BDS (Bulldog Skates) crew will be there, in March.

It was a nice event.
Not a real big turnout, but it was good.
A couple of slalom vets came down from the Atlanta area, Jeff F from G-ville, myself, a couple from the Tampa/Clearwater area, and so on.

Looking to do either Beverly Hills, or Clermont this weekend.
Nice blacktop.

Not a real big group.
Keith H has a pretty good hill there, that he uses for slalom.
It's a little rough, but we work it from time to time.
I'm sure the other people who live there know some other spots.

Usually....... I / We sk8 south of G-ville.
Like Beverly Hills, Brooksville, and the Clermont area.

Sarasota represent. it's more central west than north west, but i like to think it counts.

great longboarding weather too. unfortunately there's hardly anyone who longboards. mostly it's just garage to skate, but still...

if anyone in the area wants to shred with me and some friends holla.

It counts.
I have yet to try that hot Sarasota sk8park.
But I've been told it is a crowded one.

One of my buds works in the Sarasota area, and commutes to his house in Beverly Hills on the weekends.

I haven't done the garages in a long while.
It's all good.

Keep in touch!
