WEREWOLF RUN!!! Saturday Sept 5th Full Moon @ Mcdowell Mountain

**Chris Elliott** · 08-10-2009 07:19 PM

Alright guys same story as before but with a new name! The Werewolf Run! We'll meet up at 8pm saturday night, september 5th. I think this is the first time its been on a weekend.. so if you guys have any problems with that, please let me know and I can move it a few days forward or backward. Here are the details:

Meet 8pm @ 10215 E Mcdowell Mtn Ranch Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85255.

DO NOT RIDE PATHS BEFORE 10PM to avoid pedestrians calling the cops on us and getting us kicked out of the neighborhood!

Rally in the parking lot of the library and then we'll hit the Mountain! Please try and bring as many vehicles as possible, or bring large ones and be willing to drive to the top.

why do you have to hit mcdowell mtn every time there's a full moon? hit it some other time, for example when it's not too late for me to drive that far.
plus full moons are the perfect time to skate certain hills with certain hairpins in certain gated communities

Because Mcdowell Mountain is best at night.. no pedestrians, no traffic. During the day it is a high traffic area because it is a huge neighborhood. A full moon is perfect because some of the paths in the neighborhood have no lights, and they're white, so they glow under the full moon. The path runs are great because they are about 4 feet wide and they twist and turn thru the desert landscape between houses. If you have a problem with skating after 8pm then maybe you could post up some of your own rides.. nobody is holding you back man! Hopefully you can make it out though.

If you feel comfortable making tight turns at speeds up to 25-30 mph on that board then you should come. Make the call! I have no idea how good you are haha

you should come out regardless.....if you stand up carve all of it you won't be going very fast at all, will be a good learning experience!

yeah i guess youre right. i'll never hit 30mph on my slalom board without practice

but yeah, ill be there!

**AlecModified** · 08-12-2009 01:28 AM

Looks like I might have to tighten up the trucks on my board a little to avoid the wobbs, and come hit the werewolf run with everyone! I'll never get good unless I practice.

oh, well i thought you needed a bigger board to go fast. (still a noob) all the better for me!

**blstndwn** · 08-12-2009 12:23 PM

I think that was a joke. But yeah stand up and you will go SLOW! Well worth coming out for! I went down on a board with sidewinders, you got randalls, nothen to worry about! Hit me up about that hairpin! I would love to check it out. She was probably smoken a bowl!

Agreed... my first ride at McDowell was on an Original Apex 37 (probably the furthest thing from a dh board) and I was also brand new to longboarding and still had a good time. I would recommend you come, ride the hills, meet new people, and have a good time

no you shouldnt tighten your trucks... tightening your trucks means you'll just have to get used to your board all over again.

ride mine, Chris sharp's or Munkaes you'll see
Loose is the way to go.. anywhere!
