slopestar Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Who/where I'll be there starting August 1 and would love to know the best trails to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Just so it's not 'lost' here, really.. But I have my nephews out scouting for spots. They LOVE the Garden of the Gods road area, but dodge tourists to do so, and, hey, it's South of ya. Perhaps ask the guys at All Board Sports? Bola usually keeps up on the terrain features nearby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.free Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I usually go to Sloan Lake park, there is a nice bike trail, good pavement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Brammer aka PSR Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 First off, Thanks b.free for that info. Next time I visit the clan in Colorado, I'll check it out. 2nd, and disturbingly, I've been out 3 days-in-a-row on a longboard skateboard, {out in the Street, not just a sheltered park, or parking garage!} as we've had an early spring thaw here in the Northeast. It's been somewhat fun, and somewhat scary (puddles, dirt/salt, and finding oneself in a traffic lane to avoid such!), and it's the earliest I've skated after a snow ever here. If I were Teaching fulltime, as I did 15 years ago, I'd be very worried about my profession, and it's future. Does Greenland have any resorts? Are they melting out, too?

slopestar Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Been working downtown recently and the weather is awesome. May do some local LDP heading south out of downtown and back Friday after work. I have not touched my skate since moving here and I'm excited to get back on the road! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Wiped the winter dust off my pumping board and took it around the block. Felt awesome until my rear tracker RTS reversed kingpin popped out... I have a back up. Just happy I wasn't 10 miles out with a hanger not attached Edited June 29, 2018 by slopestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Just put some Seismic rear instead. Better performance and reliability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Hey Lance, Got some heavier bushings coming for my revenge trucks, mounted to my 44" pintail. I suspect we will need to get together at some point mario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopestar Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Sounds like a fun time Mario. Perhaps meet at Confluence Park on an early weekend morning. Head south a a few miles. Breakfast somewhere then a slight down hill all the way back? Edited July 3, 2018 by slopestar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b.free Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 I am in too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good chance I will need a bit of tutoring/tormentoring, I can pump my bike, and my snowboard a bit, but little or no pumping experience on my skate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big mario Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 out for this coming sunday, standing mtb ride. though I am planning to go over to mile high for a little bit early tomorrow and see if I can start to figure out this pumping thing mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 got out for about an hour and half this morning. got some work to do. going to try and get out a few times in the neighborhood. One of the toughest things to get used to was the sub 2meter sidecut on my skate. Almost launched me a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slopestar Posted July 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 We aren’t able to go this morning. My deck project has me in its grips. At 24’x14’ my wife Katie calls it Moby Deck... it’s big especially for my first attempt at a proper deck. Let’s set a date and meet up?!

Am I the only one who initially read that wrong and thought, 24" X 14" seems really short and wide for an LDP deck, or any kind of skatebaord deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoonyMcGroomer Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 At 24'x14', that is a BIG DECK! One could have a party on a deck that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few projects going on at the moment as well, and this triple digit heat is severiously harshing my mellow, and making it hard to get out for post work playing, I just want to hide in the ac in the evening. booked up for Saturday punch list stuff, and sunday mtb ride. any chance for a parking lot pumping sesh, say Thursday night? name the place and time and I'll make it, temps will be dropping, but there is a chance of some monsoon moisture moving in mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
