BFE. Actually it's west of Fort Worth, near the Parker/Tarrant line. I'm not even sure which county it's in. It's a semi-rural subdivision with a road with three cheesy looking, new covered bridges. It's about a forty mph hill.

There it is! I'm going to put risers on it. The first ride lasted about 25 feet. 20 on the board 5 off. Gotta love that wheelbite!!

Nothing really but we could go hit up a hill. Maybe we can get Geledonutt to come skate. Theres a nice hill in the neighborhood right off the 77 exit.

It's Covered Bridge Lane. If you're just looking that's cool, but if you haven't bombed some hills already I don't recommend starting there. We can arrange some other stuff for this weekend.

Edit: Google calls it Drive; I thought the sign said Lane.

Ive bombed very few hills. Id say ive only reached 30mph to 35mph tops on the hills ive been on. I have improved since then and Im up for trying new hills. I have the protection and instinct!! lol.

You'd probably be okay then; if you take it easy at first and don't tuck you'll stay at around 35. That's what I did since it was a step up from anything I'd done before.

omni session tonight?

[Old Guy]

omni session tonight?

Perhaps - I'm waiting for JohnW to reply to a text about the possibility of going to Covered Bridge at 6:30 in the unlikely event that weather permits. That would earlier in the evening; we could do Omni later.

[Old Guy]

John is on his way back from OK; they're going to Mt. Scott but he doesn't have his board. I'm still going to plan on Covered Bridge at 6:30. Philip, what time works for you for Omni?
