nah.
i didn't say i didn't like tomball. lol.

It's kinda different from i imagined from the topo map, so yeah.
it's probably closer to 25-30, but not more than that.

if you come kick it with me we'll make you a pair.

I did both, sewed the Velcro on in the spots I wanted it and then glued it down firmly. I can take out a stitch, I can't really dissolve epoxy without ####### the glove up. But my gloves are pretty shitty, maybe I'll come chill with ya'll and get you to make me some.

Haha, not sure if I'll fully do them (enven though they end up badass) but you should definitely chill

Thanks for the offer and to everyone else for the suggestions.

I may give Hershey Park a try. That isn't off the Hershey Highway is it?

Might also go ahead and nut up and try some parking garages at half mast too.

Don't want the HGR or anyone else around watching me stink up the place...

To paraphrase Jeremy Clarkson on the top five rubbish things in the world: 5) US Foreign Policy 4) Aids 3) Iran's Nuclear Program 2) Gordon Brown 1) My skating ability. It's that bad.

Thanks,
Nels

DUDE!! I love Top Gear. Great show! And yeah.... I don't really know of places that go over 30 mph. Going faster than that sounds sick!!! I'm gonna try to find some of these place you guys have been talking about, but don't really know when I'll have the time to do it since its a bit of a drive.

**Bobbens** · 07-21-2009 02:51 PM

hey man everyone has to start somewhere! just keep skating and never stop, if you need help everyone one here can help you out. glad to hear the Texas crowd keeps growing

**ManlyMoses** · 07-21-2009 08:52 PM

Anyone on the Southwest side? I live right by the Medical Center, and I've been itching to try some medical garages but I figure they have pretty tight security. And the whole area is crawling with the UT police

8-8.30pm San Felipe @ 610 near uptown park. Dont know the name of the building, but it has a garage with 11 floors and some pretty tight turns. I have yet to run into any security and managed to skate for about 2 hours. Meeting @ the Jack In The Box parking lot, just skating to have fun, no as.sholes.

damn, you're on the other side of houston.. i live in humble. and you'd have to drive about an hour to where we skate in the woodlands. girls who skate = cool. but we'll be at huntsman this saturday, so if you wanna come out you're more than welcome!

**ballaboardin** · 08-25-2009 07:35 PM

In the same boat as fueledbysun, except for the whole girl thing....... Tired of just cruising and looking to chill with some experienced riders......... Teach me how to pump like a pro and ill buy you a meal?

P.S. i also live in sugar land but drive downtown regularly... especially if i can guarantee a place/people to skate with

lol, im not very good a pumping... been working on it. but i dont really have a board that does it well.. so meh, idk. we go downtown sometimes, a good place to meet people would be edwards... go at the right times, aka past 1am. our place in the woodlands is less hassle and closer to my side of town, but you guys are wayyy over on the other side.. far drive. =/

lol.....
1- i am a perv. least thats what girls usually tell me. lmfao..
2- yup, the woodlands..
3- yea, you cant say #### like #### on this site lol unless you do shit like that

i got boards, but idk how they'd handle for you.. i weigh 180-190 depending on how much i ate and/or worked that week, so i'd probably have to bring some lighter bushings. how much time have you actually spent on a board so far? do you ride friends boards, or are you just interested in longboarding in general? lol..

Ya, so I'm just interested but have no friends that longboard, just skateboard. I have my center of gravity, but honestly who knows what will happen. And I weigh about 115, so I need a shorter board haha.
BUT the woodlands is way outta my league!
