theres a perfect jump and perfect inrun setup, you may need 2other people to catapult you down with poles but other than that it's sick

i live in west hartford too, I spotted some good places but i cant try anything cause i have a shattered wrist.  The one that looks the best other than the Wolcott rail is behind Sedgewick.  Looks like a decent flat down flat

One of my friends did the Sedgwick rail on his skates and that thing is fucking burly and a little more scary than it looks from the road. I've done Wolcott but I'm definitely not good enough to do Sedgwick.

I'll go if someone wants to drive me....theres a few around my town that are mad hard but would be dope. Ones a big DFD thats only doable on a snowboard 50-50, another would be a straight rail to a big drop, dunno if would be landable. Another one I have to check out near a church, huge down rail, but if you fell off you would probably die. I'll check around another place, I live in Collinsville by the way, its in Canton

^ The double rail in front of Northwest by the road is out of my league but it'd be easy for someone to do once snow accumulates...I've also looked at the double kink past the student union...what else do you have in mind
