    I lived in Oro vally in '97 for about 6 months. There was nothing there but a taco bell and a liquor store, has it changed much? Thinking back you probobly have some great hills there.

    Alas, I have no Facebook, nor do I plan on getting one. Not that I'm against one. Just don't see a reason that would make the parents go for it. Meh.

    Also, I went into Monterra Vista in Oro Valley today, off of Tangerine Road. Nice hills.

    Dude! Is Musette the one with that house that's being built on the corner? I was in there JUST THIS MORNING! I had to run off though going down one hill in there because there was some water that I went through and I was sketch about shutting down with damp-ish wheels...I was there around 10-11 ish...Maybe I'll go back tomorrow.

    I would be super stoked to run into a better rider that could teach me stuff.

    Cool. There's no longboarders that I know of at CDO...Lucky you! (I thought I had seen someone walking around Ironwood with a Ceviche in hand during the Oro Valley Holiday Parade)

    And I don't recall CDO having half days this week...Well, if I don't have too much homeowork due for Wednesday, I might go.

    Yeah, but hopefully I can go, as long as it's not too far away. Hoping to learn a lot from people with more experience...

    Haha, yeah. I've been skating for six months and didn't know anyone other than my brother and his friend (who don't ride much) even longboarded in Oro Valley. That is, until now. Haha, they were all hiding.

    Naw. There are riders here in Oro Valley, but not a lot of them check the Fish frequently enough for it to be of much use.
