Rocket Science???

« on: April 26, 2009, 10:09:14 PM »

I don't know if anyone's been down this spot before but it looks pretty awesome to me. It's a long straight bomb down a pretty steep hill on a wide road with a pretty hard right hand turn at the bottom that rolls out into a seemingly empty parking lot. The street is called Gateway Blvd and the useful bit of it runs west off of Don Mills just south of Eglington, directly behind the Science centre. It's probably too fast for my comfort level yet and I didn't have my board with me when I was there anyway (I was doing some shooting at the archery butts near by this hill), so I haven't ridden it, but it looks like fun in a pure speed kinda way.

That's the slide center. We rode there for most of the ridable months in this past winter...

Security and police were cool with us being there for the most part. It's a pretty fun hill.

Nice to hear that security is cool, we used to get kicked off while we were pulling boards out of the trunk. Cruise around the work district there as well. LOTS of decent garages in there.

I was there with a couple people sunday night, it was dead. I was bombing it and taking the right corner all the way around, you can do some nice drifts. The pavement is sooo smooth.

This time you checked to see if the gate was open first, right? Shocked
