Longboard Burlington

[ski@jaypeak2]

I know a lot of people on here longboard but i was wondering if anyone wanted to set up weekly cruises around town. I know all winter i have been thinking about doing the bolton access road. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Ridin High at the bottom of Pearl St use to do a weekly (nightly) run from the top of Pearl St all the way down to the water front. The owner had the timing calculated to hit every green light in between and runs a van on the route. Give them a ring. 658-6187‎

doood bolton access road would be fuckin gnarly...maybe too gnarly haha...that really wide steep s-curve could be death, but most of it seems like it would be pretty legittt...

The Ridin High owner crashed on 108 between Smuggler's Notch (the actual Notch) and the parking lot entrance to Smuggler's Notch ski resort. Even wearing full gear he ended up in the hospital w/severe brain swelling.

big john. he was in a coma for like 3 months. He did come out of it and is 95% as good as he was before

wow, never knew about that, ive gone down the notch once, it is pretty crazy. any body know if the stowe sides ever been done before? single laneish and blind corners would be mad sketch

and OP a couple years ago it was on thursday nights, ive been in CO though, dont know if its changed between then and now

i feel like stowe side would be death.

and ive done a lot of the bolton access road, there are some really nice parts of it.

also as for burlington, there are two great hills just off shelburne rd. near the little rotary, and one across from blimpie/post office. big wide ones that you can cruise nicely at night.

annnnd jericho has some great hills that are absolutely worth the short drive, the backside of this neighborhood (i lived in it) called the foothills is probably the best hill i have ridden, long windy road which leads to a sharp turn directly leading into a steep ass hill with a prime runout (fresh paved and about 3/4 of a mile run), also within a mile of there there is a hill called sugar hill that ive hit about 45 mph on, super fast hill with a lot of potential and a great runout.

the hill above the rotary is intense. i hit it once and thought i was going to die. but locust st, right below the rotary is one of my favorites. it's mellow, very smooth pavement and super wide for only being a 2 lane road

bolton access road definitely isn't in burlington.. but i dont think that road would be possible you would die
