Eat at Costco, with a membership you can chow like a king for 3 bucks.
My 6 year old loves Ramin soup!! When I was at my poorest at UT I survived on corndogs and water for 3 months. I'd get 3 for 2$ at 7-11, eat 2 right there on the spot and save the other one for dinner. For some reason I never had a problem finding free beer. Consider my idea of pimping yourself out to horny cougars, they pay cash.

gonna be at mordor at 5:00 sharp. Should be able to get about an hour in there before dark. I'm not skating late tonight...I'm definitely gonna be putting more emphasis on weekend morning/afternoon sessions.

Gonna head out to mordor about 4:30ish. Sorry mike I didn't check this till just now. Let's hit up sugarbear area this weekend eh?

The bottom of sugar bear has been paved

How fast do you reckon you got to from the top?

I remember the first time I skated that area I went down Raphter before I even noticed Mar., I imagine it would be pretty easy to make that right turn on to it.

What time is it getting dark for you guys over there? The sun is down and moon fully up pretty much by 5 30 pm here since the time change, and its a huuuuge bummer because I work til 6 or 7pm every day. So sometimes I go out early morning, but sometimes have no one else to ride with, which means the big best hills are out of the question cause I'd have to walk back, which is just rediculous.

Look for some video footage from me of the Cali hills here pretty soon!

**SLAB City Jake** · 11-11-2009 07:50 PM

speed limit sign is 43.3.

remember kids: talking while tightening your trucks may end up accidentally loosening them instead! whoops!

daaamn, smokin. You definitly outta consider a set of leathers for those speeds for aero, and protection. When you came up at the end of it, were you able to easily go off to the right, or did you keep going down to the left?

went into semi tuck when i hit the uphill part then made the right no prob.
I'm not sure if i want to start dropping into mordor or taking the left first.

You should try both for the hell of it. Are you totally comfortable with shutting down at anytime (including the speed you hit on the GPS)?

of course id rather not have to shut down seeing as mordor isnt the widest road out there, and it has trees/cliffs on either side. but if worse came to worse im betting i could throw a shutdown. with the grade of mordor it probably wouldn't slow me down all that fast until i got to the bottom flat though anyway. prolly end up chunking/flat spotting a wheel to, wouldn't be fun.

Yeah, I was just gonna say if you were to go the left at full speed you could just shut down after the last ascent of the road. What wheels have you been running lately?
