if you go urban in NYC you have to go all out.  that means a tow-in wallride to the recruiting center in the middle of times square.

I'd rather live in Tahoe but if I was in NYC I would hit up riverside park in the upper west. Sick ass rails over there you guys should get a banshee bungee and go check them out

youd be suprised how hard it is to find spots. all the best rails are skate locked, and most dont have run-ins or run-outs

Haha haven't gone and looked at it, but it's mostly covered by the bridge so I dunno how snowy it is there.

Posted this is regionals but thought Id show a wider audience now:

Went to the park Wednesday with a bunch of friends (I go to manhattan college, so the park was 231st and riverdale ave) and they built a kicker and set up a jersey barrier too...I don't have my skis with me so I watched them board and did some sledding, but it was still alot of fun nonetheless...you guys hit anything up?
heres some clips:

Actually they passed by a few times and didn't stop or anything...though the kicker and jersey barriers were up a bit on the hill, so they might not have seen. Either way, we didn't get bothered all day. I'm sure if they had seen the kids carrying the jersey barriers all the way down the block they might have had a problem haha
