Albuquerque Distance Race

[soulrider95]

Sup bro's!!! I was thinkin we ABQ boarders should organize a long distance(halfway across the city?) race! We could race from the tram to the river or something! Anyone have any other ideas?

[albuquerquearmy]

Harper Outlaw would be flippin.

Tramway And Tramway To Elena G And Louisiana. S'like 6-8 Miles?

or how bout just straight up 'cross town??
from tramway to coors, ive done it, its not that hard
lol jk

seriously though that sounds fun
how about like from the top of indian school ditch to like unm, you could skate the ditch then take the bike path all the way to san pedro and constitution then from there take constitution to unm

[soulrider95]

I was thinking instead of having a set course, we could just say, "go here, no course just see you later!" it could be any type of board, just see how many people we can get to come!

oh i get it,
like we all meet up somewhere, "the start", and be like ok now go here, ready? GO!
now that would be crazy fun

[soulrider95]

Exactly what I was thinking!!! Took peeps a bit to get that part of it... Probally serve breakfast at the meeting place/start line then race to some place with good food for lunch. Probably have to find someone to sponsor us, pay for food, or just have an admission fee for food and such. Hopefully APD doesn't mind us

That would be a fun ordeal...but, I see vehicles involved for the cheaters if all took seperate routes.

[BoardDuDE630]

yea like cereal or somethin kinda cheap but good for breakfast
and have everybody bring like 10 bucks then at the end we will get all the money together and grab some grub you kno lol

true
i got at the start we take everyones keys and have people that can just drive, they hold the keys and then they can shuttle people back to their cars

[albuquerquearmy]

Good idea

Well, we could get a couple peeps with insane skills to do the quickest route beforehand, and if anyone obviously is cheating we just send them away. Anyone know peeps that would sponsor such a race thing? I was thinking the winner could get money or something

[albuquerquearmy]

Lets get ghoti and some other companies in on this

[Grizzly]

hmmmm. I would just say a giant freeride, cause i know some people that would love to come they just arent down to paying entry when the know they will get their asses kicked. we could meet somewhere and just ride a shitload the whole day?? and buy breakfast and lunch and #### where ever we end up??

[BottomShark]

I'm telling you!! you wanna do a race from the top of Indian School and fininishing through Winrock!!

well from what im gettin that esentially what it is
its basicly a RACE TO FOOD lol
cuz like what i was thinkin just have people bring their own money for food
its like were all just gonna go meet up somewhere to eat and just happen to be racing there

[mancade]

seriously why sponsors? why pay for entry?

lets just start a thread that all the bourque boarders subscribe too, then whenever anyone knows where they're skating, they just post.

lets just skate.

I've got an idea for a course. Start at the top of Simms Park Road, go down to Tramway, skate south along the bike path that parallels Tramway, then hop in 3 Mile ditch to Morris, go south on Morris to Constitution, then pick up the "Cross Town Race" course (with a few modifications...) and end at UNM.

Check it. (Click on "action" then "plot elevation".)

It's about 14 miles. Has one hill over 35mph (Simms), one ditch at about 25-30mph (3Mile), and another hill at about 30mph (Washington).

hmm that first part sounds familiar...didnt we plan to do somethin like this already
but that sounds cool that we now have like an actual course

[soulrider95]

Why a set course? It is too crowded and some of us just like cruising! How about sunday the 7th of june?
