there are rails at kutztown, lehighton high school, some of the elementary schools and playgrounds somewhat near blue... are you new to the valley or just lazy and havent explored?

Some dece stuff in Allentown, but I don't know the street names. Haven't really explored Bethlehem yet. You could film an entire fucking movie here at Lehigh though. My mouth waters when I'm walking to class. SO much potential. Only problem is the campus cops are assholes because they're so bored. Citing drunk kids would get old fast.

If you hit it and quit it you might be able to get away with it, or you could try somewhere on Goodman, but yeah I have already been talked to for skating in the parking lot by zolner

bomb drop at zolner is definitely doable. i've skated there for less than 5 minutes and been kicked out, but also skated for hours with no hassle. theres a dfd in front of one of the sorority houses thats probably doable. i havent done surveilance up there lately to really know how the campus police do their rounds, but on an early weeknight, i'd image you'd have a few hours to get something done. i had some shots of a handrail sort of near blue that's pretty fun, but they built more playground shit around it, making the dropin much more difficult. if you're interested this winter hit me up and i'll show you some spots.

yeah definitely i got jib skis so i could rip stuff up like that PA not being known for the best snow coverage. I wanted to get something going before thanksgiving but I don't really have a car or much in the way of materials other than my skis and boots.

and is about an hour south, and gets very little snow. there's tons of stuff to ski in philly...if only there was a consistent snowpack on the ground. also, i've skated spots in philly where people were real cool with it...and then i've skated spots in philly where big dudes want to fuck your shit up for bein on their "property." i think the snow's more of an issue though :)

people in philly wouldnt even know what the heck is going on if they saw you skiing in the city and you know it. maybe we'll get a winter like last year where we got more snow in the city than the ski areas. so now that chau's got that bungee thing, how do you feel about the comley park rails?
