[greenpirate]

Hey, hows it hangin northeners, just wanted to let you guys know about a little event/session I'm organizing this spring in sault ste marie. It's nothing serious, just trying to stimulate the local longboarding scene. I've got a couple local sponsors tossing in prizes.

Good show kyle! It'll be nice to see an event in the Soo.  You may want to create a thread for this in the events section too.  I am totally down to race this.  Just a few questions though, 552 crosses hw 17 are you planning on having the finish line before the highway? and what's the pavement like out there?

i'll have to cross post this asap.

its pretty much all downhill from the highway, i posted i google maps link showing the hump right before it all goes downhill for a few km, down winding moderate/small hills all the way down until a bridge a the end of the run.
Get ahold of me once you get back into town for the summer and we'll take a ride out there, i got wheels so I'll be takinga  few guys out there before hand to mark things out.

the pavement is pretty good, some slightly rougher patches, with some small cracks and such. but i've never had a problem with it. Goin to have to see what the winter has done to it though

edit: clearer description of run.
