I can help!

Hey Greg! I've been an avid skater/rollerblader most of my life and actually have been looking for a skating partner to hit the Iron Horse trails with.

It's been a while so I'm not nearly as fast as I used to be (when I used to skate along side of Rich on his mountain bike ;) ) Let me know and we can meet somewhere local! I can definitely give ya some coaching! It would be helping me a lot too just to get out there again! :)

Thanks Alayna, but..

Skateboarding is what I need help with.

I am looking for a good route to do laps on with the rollerblades. Ironhorse/Canal trail in my area is in bad shape.

Well you shoulda said skateboarding!!! :cry Good luck with that! LOL
If you ever want to rollerblade.. let me know I usually start in Walnut Creek and turn around in Danville.. but its been a while. The trail there is smooth and shady!

Also Im sure some of the kids at the skate park in Concord and Walnut Creek can coach ya with the boards!

Most everywhere

Walnut creek & Moraga, fairly routinely. Just went to fairfield, Very nice. Been to Benicia (too big for me) Sacramento (way too big for me) Pleasanton, Vallejo, Martinez, Antioch (shitty) Brentwood, Alameda, Berkeley (now closed) Alameda, Piedmont (pretty lame for how much money they have) Sunnyvale (kicks ass!)
I'm planning a weekend to Auburn, then Truckee and Incline Village. Also Another weekend to everything on the 101 up to Willits.

In the kiddy pool at Concord I am pretty solid with rocks, fakies, smiths and feebles.Tail and 50/50 stalls and the occasional decent frontside slash. Looking to work blunt stalls, 50/50 variables/variations, front foot tail stall (very awkward) And learn to ollie so I can incorporate all this coping work into something more substantial.
I am hoping to start pulling some of this basic stuff on 5'-6' transitions in the near future. Right now, being up on the coping on the intermediate stuff is still a little skeeerry at times. The big stuff I just cruise around, but i long to hear the sweet sound of my wheels rolling over tiles on the way to real pool coping.

That reminds me of a joke.

What's the hardest part about rollerblading?

To get this thread back on track, I want to post a question about the current skateboard equipment. I am considering getting a new board, and don't recognize the manufacturers anymore. Who makes good bearings (I know Swiss are hi dollar, but are they worth it?), are Independent still good trucks, what wheels are good for concrete parks and some street skating, etc?
