Sure why not, I'll bite. I'll like to know about the speedometer. Specifically, calibration?

New construction, very smooth. 0.60 mile run, but you better stop short of Hasley Cyn. 38.6mph max speed!
Old Road (99) North to Hasley Cyn, left to Witherspoon,
then right. A simple circuit, Hall Effect sensor, battery,
and small magnet from Digi_Key convert any bicyle speedometer to a deadnuts accurate luge speedometer.
Any intrest????? Post Email address here.

Most places I've never had a problem with skating on the sidewalk. Only in certain areas where there are "No Skateboarding" signs would you have to worry about it (like the park of Balboa Park across the Laurel Street bridge).
When are you going to be in SD ViviDivine?

I have been riding these places for a while. One is a 12 story parking structre in downtown SJ. It's right next to the Adobe Building. It's 10 stories above ground plus 2 basement levels, with an elevator. Go at night, and miss the traffic. The other place is a 3 mile hill, Montevina Dr. right onn Hwy 17. The road is smooth, with some insane drops and switchback turns. Both places are 100% committment - once you're locked in, there's no way out until the bottom. Have fun!

Just cycled there yesterday to check it out,a couple more good rains and the gravel/sand will be washed away enough to skate,man is this beast narrow and twisty.Slide around corners ,gate at the bottom(very little traffic)can't wait to ride it again, last time i rode it (last year) i had just switched to soft wheels ,and still had my double kick libtech ,jes that may have been before i got randles, come to think of it sliding the corners may be optional,i've come a long way.

this is kind of lame, but I finally rode the hill I live on. I have been here a couple of months, but it has been raining and I have been busy or whatever. It is a cool hill. Not too long, but long enough to be fun. Nice and smooth, and no cars. Steep at the top, and then it flatens out. Anyway, I just thought it was kind of funny.

Hey Joe, where you goin with that (oh sorry)...
Have you ever skated down wilbur from near tampa? Back in the old days when there was a lot less traffic, we used to hit the low 50's on our old school equip. If you've never tried it, watch out for the cars... HR

there is this one hill in John Maclaren Park, near the top of the park that is pretty good. I'm not very good so I did not go down the whole thing and i was going about 25-30. The best part is that the road is prettt smooth and there are no cross streets so there are barely any cars.
keep on bombin!!

Probabily the most extream hill i have ever rode although it is quite short 3/4 mile
It is very fast 50mph easy and has a perfect surface one of the corners you lay into at around 40 and just keep carving it out until the final drop off where you reach the max speed.
Noth cliff is also good in tenby and Gummers just outside
Another increadable place is Mt Tide in Tenerife
