have been thinkin about doing this for a while now, just thought i'd run it past you guys to see what you think...
a weekly or bi-weekly skate sesh, at night of coarse cuz its effin hot and people work, we would all meet up at a pre-deturmend location and plan the night, where to and what for... but one night we could find a hill and carve, and the next week do some slides, the next a cruise, and garage bombs, etc... i think it would be a great way to spread the stoke and some knowledge, people good at sliding can share their know-how to the people who arnt same with DH and so on also a great way for people to learn about new spots...
input? the night would be planned the week befor so people arnt drving to something they dont wanna do and everyone knows whats going on but, i think it could be fun
and it wont be called boogie nights, i was watching it earlier and its stuck in my head
dude you know im always in to skate , as long is it aint Dh, but sliding and dancing , cruising , ect. im in. We can call it w/e but it would also give the people who like to run events in AZ a chance to meet and make good plans for events. Pick a night and i will be in basically ever week.
BTW pool session tomorrow at Christians neighboors!!! we are pumping the pool so its goona be old school style =)
That pool is amazing! Me and Christian (Poopradio) were cleaning it out today and it's the perfect shape and depth for skating. Can't wait to get it all finished up!
yeah its soo nice, thanks alot reece for helpin out, your a good dood... for the first sesh i was gunna wait to see what kind of response i got but im thinkin if we put it together people will show, so how about next wednesday the
16th any suggestions on location?
I know of a couple of gravity assisted digs. There are a couple of city blocks worth of area at the end of Bell Road (east of the 101) that are pretty much on a hill. You can skate the gentle 1.5 miles down hill or you can do some sliding in the less busy streets of the particular neighborhood.
There is also a parking garage at Tatum and Paradise Village Parkway near the Walmart. I just went there (literally, like 20 minutes ago). Its got good lighting, minus the one dim bulb, and at midnight there is no security but there are about 4 or 5 cars still parked there, I'm guessing they belong to the cleaning crew or the weirdos who sleep at their desks in the office next to the garage. It's got at least 4 ramps and an elevator, but I think they shut it off after hours ( I could pick the lock and reactivate it, but I think that sends a negative message about longboarding plus, I don't need a felony on my sheet )
The ramp that leads to the basement level doesn't have any room, that floor only has enough room to park about 4 cars on each side. When I went down it, my pants filled up a bit when I saw the wall...
I can only make it on weekends, but please feel free check it out whenever you can.
