I am curious. We used to hit one near Kyle Seale Pkwy. but gave up due to further development. Similar problem 'cept it was earthmoving equipment tracking dirt. Maybe the recent rains have cleared things a bit.

I miss living around there. I used to live at Las Colinas on Chase HIll back when I was at UTSA. We did some runs down Kyle Seale, but that was back during the Inline skating days of the mid-late 90's. I think Solidskate/surf was still in San Antonio then. I'll be up there this weekend for the tattoo convention.

Cool, Not sure what your time schedule is like. If you've got time to roll around look up Dan Barnett. My understanding is he's a top notch artist, pinstriper, tattoo's etc. Very likely he'll be at the convention. You might find some of his work at the BDS website he does work for Wes on a regular basis. As well as a good guy to skate with. I'll probably visit the parental units so i'm out.

Ah The Rim, there is a neighborhood in that area by the name of Crown Ridge, and they have some STEEP hills with some turning involved. Its been awhile since Ive been there, and I think I may be returning in the very near future.

come good downhill runs in SA? who knew. if someone is willing to PM me a place to look at and wants to skate it with me, send me a PM or tell me who to contact.

There is a reason they (spots) aren't too blown-out. From my experience the locals are real "cagey" about disclosing information. The reason is "tagging". It seems the minute you find a cool spot some jerk with a spray can wants to claim ownership. I'll talk to some of the Geezer's and see what's still cool. Another problem is all my guy's are knee deep in work or family. Not to mention alot of develeopment. It seems SATown isn't growing fast enough for some folk. Sad

completely reasonable, but I ride with therosen (Dorian) and we are certainly not that type, we're just lookin for more people to ride with and more hills to hit! always open to sessions, if y'all come down to Austin to skate, we'll be more than happy to show you around and skate some hills with you

**shredward c** · 07-17-2008 06:25 PM

You're on point Savage and that rule pertains more to ditches etc. as opposed to hills. One of my fave's was littered with dirt from earth movers last i checked. Thanks to recent rains that may no longer apply. Also with all the development there's new terrain. I'll do some "recon" and see what's up.

I feel this! The answer is... A small pick-up truck a crew of no less than three riders, and a walk through. One poor soul drives back up the hill. The other two bomb. Wash,Rinse,Repeat...! It's been awhile. We where by no means downhillersl The theory and the recipe worked. Got pics to prove it. Let me talk to some locals to check time frames.

can we bring three? or is it two of us and one of you? sounds sweet, just like good old fashioned Texas DH session
