longboarding is the shit, except there are no good hills in waterville, unless i want to die trying to longboard the access road, but that hill is sick, super long...oh well

yeah, concord NH has a rediculous hill that has a 1/2 mile long straightline down one side, and a whole network of freshly paved, non-crowded roads off the back that offer pretty much everything (curves, cruisers, rollers, etc.).

I ride a Cloud Nine, so it's a bit short for the big death hills, but perfect for curvy roads.

I ride my longboard everyday in the summer, but I swear I'm going to get hit one of these days. So many close calls last summer, Chicago's traffic is a bitch.

I made a few boards on my own, and ride them around alot, mostly downhill, Ill probably make a cruiser once school is out. I love just going crazy fast while carving down a hill, same feeling as skiing.

Agreed, burlington VT is the best area to longboard, it really is like a big ass hill, everywhere you go you can long board, and theres one of the coolest long board shops here with the chillest dudes who run it

In the city there is basically nothing, but there a few okay places in the surrounding area, but all of the midwest is generally flat and crappy. Anyway, I'll be longboarding Burlington next year too, and definatly would like to meet some of you people.

and in burlington i heard there's a free shuttle from the bottom of the city to the top of UVM, so you can longboard and get a ride back up all day long.

long boarding is the shit

i had one but it broke. anyone know where i can get one semi cheep online?



***********************************
Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.
