Gecko Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Wheelabrator has another session tomorrow, I've going but since my back is sore from work and working in the skatepark I'm probably gonna be carving and shooting pictures more than speedboarding (though I do need to take at least a test run :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gecko Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 if anyone in southern New England is interested the first Wheeelabrator event of the year is being held on the first full day of spring, Sunday March 21st. what might you ask is a "wheelabrator event"????? Well a Wheelabrator event is a gathering of like minded souls for the purpose of skateboarding and having fun. There are 3 distinct hills the main hill which is a 30-35mph (max) 2 lane fairly straight forward hill, it's a good place to practice your tuck, it's 8/10th of a mile long and rewards a good tuck, it's also fun to draftrain. The Bikepath is just that 1/3rd of a mile winding through the trees you can make 30mph on it though the last 2 turns can be scary at that speed. Then there is the slide hill which has a right and a left turn. Wide enough to slide softwheel or tech. Some really good sessions have happened at wheelabrator and as a location it deals with crowds very well which isn't always true of skate spots. I'm really looking forward to spending the day on the bike path just carving the day away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my main DH spots but lately I've been skating the URI campus which tops out at 20-25 but techie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
