    Default Silent Sunday!

    If you live in Arizona you know about South Mountain. Once a month they close down the road to cars to allow bikers () and longboarders to ride down free of worry. Well this month's Sunday is less than a week away and me and a couple of my buddies are heading out. Anyone else going? 6 miles of pure downhill road. The only bad part is that you have to walk up...

    South mountain website. Here are the rest of the dates:

    May 25th, June 22, July 27, Aug. 24, Sept. 28, Oct. 26, Nov. 23 and Dec. 28

    It's an EXTREMELY smooth road also. Most mountain roads are bumpy as hell but these roads are similar to the ridiculously overpriced Scottsdale neighborhoods.

    Yeah, last time we did two runs and were totally wiped. If you take this one hiking trail up it cuts like 4 miles off though.

    make sure to make leashes for your boards, so you don't have to carry them back up. that would be miserable!

    shoe lace works fine

    Yeah no doubt about leashes. Last time my friend almost lost his board off a cliff after a minor fall.

    Well call me anyway and we'll meet up. We're probably not gonna be there til like 10. A leash is easy just tie some string to your board and the other end to your glove or something like that.

    Wherever you would like. I don't know where I'm attaching mine yet.

    On a side note. Anyone who is going, PM me and ask for my phone number or give me yours.
