1st street from where it crosses Tangerine on down to about where it hits Oracle is pretty steep. You can get going at least 30 or 40. Fun hill, too. Just watch for cars. The U of A parkig garage is great, too, provided you go at the right time.

not to mention cops, especially really the cars though. there are a lot of decent places out on star pass road, not much traffic, should make the trip sometime down from oro. no cops either.

Going this sunday, can't wait. You should hit it up. Go up to baseline and central and go south on central. Park and walk to the top of the mountain and enjoy the 6 mile ride down.
South Mountain is a must.
Fountain hills you can hit over 50mph
Ahwatukee- more specifically Club West
there are TONS of hills. ranging from 25-45mph
Rio Salado+Mill Parking garage is amazing, but security always sucks.

You make a good point, except 1st between tangerine and oracle is practially always under construction and/or swamped with oro valley's finest and the dreaded 90 year-old tucson drivers.
The U of A garages are nice though. I believe the "right time" you speak of is around 5-8 in the morning. Seriously, if you can't sleep, go to those garages in the morning and you wont see a single cop or person (unless I can't sleep that night either).
and go to the world skate map and look up bell road and the 101 you will see the path that someone highlighted. The path encircles a couple of neighborhoods that are also hilly and provide an opportunity to pick up speed and practice sliding. Me and my buddy have gone there a couple of times; we're trying to make it a weekly thing ( even though we both work for the summer).
There are quite a few garages downtown phx, I always hit up the one on 3rd and washington. never ran into any security issues, but I am sure I will now that I said that. Would love to hit up south mountain, although it seems a little daunting for a lb amateur like myself. anybody down for ridin the 'tukee anytime?

ok here they are:
-off of chandler is a road called desert foothills parkway go up desert foothills parkway right across the street from altadena is a gated community and the road called desert willow dr. the code for the little walkthrough gate is #01214. its a huggee steep hill but you have to walk up a bit.
-next one just keep goin up desert foothills parkway until you see a street called 8th street or moutian sage... its goin to be on your left.
-just explore in those gated communitys and most of them have good hills.
well those are just a few of the ones i kno...
i also heard that theres some gnarly hillz at the end of pecos..

Well, there was construction for like, 7 or 8 years straight, but its all done now, So 1st street from Tangerine to the Target shopping center is awesome. And if you turn off after the bridge but just before the Fry's parking lot, there is a long smoooooth bike path, with a little tiny hill at the beginnig. You can pump for like half a mile without stopping. Just watch for bikers and old ladies walking their dogs
there's a lot in like deeper awathukee by the desert foothills park area. all the neighborhoods north of it are a little up in south mountain's junk. There are pretty good runs there.
I found this one hill in a neighborhood and I'm pretty sure it was anywhere from 25-35. there's a left corner at the end of the first stretch and it's flat until you have to make a right. after that it's down hill again. so that was fun. I want to explore that area more.
I only got one chance to ride the rio salado/mill parking garage with JustinS. it was a rush, but the next time we went we got kicked out by security so no guarantees there
Too bad that parking garage they're building off of I 10 and rays is private.
Arizona/Phoenix downhill spots.
