Just did a new easy cruiser: From the 29 Palms entrance to the Park at the Kiosk, down what is called Utah Trail. Wide, good surface, easy to see traffic as it is a straight shot.
Was thinking you could go all they way from Split Rock to 29 with no stops if you get lucky. Must be 7 miles?

Went out with a co-worker yesterday and ran 4 laps down the Owen's Gorge rd. 2.5 miles speed up to 30-35. Great pavement too. Worked on my switch heel side slides and a few toe sides. Left with a huge smile on my face....no road rash to talk about. Go get some!

Thank's guys. I like to be there live in person. I've been a little faster than that
though slower than Andy, but as I told salad outdoor pipes and bowls were
my favorites. Glad you smiled.
salad,
Orange park closed down after 1 schoolmate was rescued by the other in a
water slide. The fiber glass broke, impaled through his stomach walls
though did not cut through his spine and the injury saved him from
a fall that could have been as bad or worse. Boise was still open then but
I only see indoors there now. Bad Rap for us board riders who liked
the outdoors.

I lurk around this thread from time to time and still get the itch to dig my long board out and shred my own privet slalom run that is right here in front of my house. BUT, I stepped off my board last year at speed and completely destroyed my tibia platue!I had to fly from Maui with a compression fracture to N.P.Bch. for surgery! No docs on Maui would take cash! It cost 20k out of pocket. I lost 7 months of surfing and wave sailing here on the north shore. I think skate shredding is just a bit expensive for me although it's soo much fun! Keep shredding guys and keep posting but be sure to keep your insurance paid up cuz it isn't if you’re going to need it. It's WHEN! Aloha. Olaf

I was still fine with *** diamonds just a few years back, but admittedly
slower than when I was younger. I'm certain i am still fine with that pure
steep stuff. Gunsight at Heavenly Tahoe would probably hurt too much
for my liking but Nevada side and Kirkwood steep I can't wait for.

T*R...I know of the school thing. At least I can sk8 to school if I want.
Man, we need a POSSIE in BISHOP. Looked at the Swall to Paradise road last night. Good pavement, just one or two corners that should be swept. Once in Paradise, there are a lot of blind corners and too many possibilties for cars pulling out. Half the day left...boulder or sk8?
Salad: NICE!

Russ and I did a quickie climb in Indian Cove this afternoon. I thought he was taking mercy on me since my trip to NM was cancelled. Just to find out that he conveniently had his board in the back of the car. Maybe he just needed a shuttle?
Anywho, this local guy is trying to dump his board. Anyone headed to Joshua Tree that's looking for a longboard & gear? Check this out, the seller has already dropped the price from $65 to $50.

This thread brings back memories..
Of my sector 9 pintail with indie 215's, 72mm wheels, bones bearings.
God damn that thing hauled ass. Until some fvcker stole it. May be just as well, I saw my life flash before my eyes several times while riding that thing down the hills of Berkeley.
