New England

[Andy Chase]

Is anyone around from New england? I ride Rye Airfiled almost every weekend the vert there is awesomme and we have like 3 decent vert riders. (me , Jason Lasky, and pat Shiffer) If anyone is around in the area we should meet up there.

[Paul]

I hate you :) . ever sence i saw pictures of Rye Airfield i've always wanted to ride it. maybe next year after ASA buffalo i'll make a stop up there.

That vert ramp is very very awsome, I wish i could skate it. How tall is it?

[Andy Chase]

It's about 12 with a 5ft roll in the roll in is super mellow it has 1 ft extensions on one side and 2 ft extensions on the other. The 2 ft extensions are really narrow though. The ramp rides Ultra smooth. It's the best ramp I've ever ridden.

[Trueskater]

I would like to go.

If i ever had any spare time.

[Andy Chase]

Well if anyone wants to go they can stay at my place. I am like 3 hours from it though.

[Trueskater]

How is the park there?

[David Schexnayder]

mm its a 27 hour drive for me, that vert is so nice though one day i want to try to go somehow.

Andy its pete from Boulder :)
now that vert worlds are over, I finally got the kahunas to start landing backflip... damn its so easy when you stop being a pansy! Still cant land backflip 180 though... something about landing facing downhill?

Anyways, I just saw this on rye airfield's website... should I come and pay a visit back to NH again?

about that contst look at where you qualify to go, the Tampa AM's, thats a skatbord competition in FLorida so it's not for inline unfortinantly.

[Trueskater]

Ya the only inline contests i know of for vert are the asa

[Paul]

same here and ASA is done for the year which sucks becuase i was only able to make it to Buffalo

[Trueskater]

ya i am hoping to go to a MSS event to qualify the coming year

[Paul]

hey trueskater maybe me and you could hook-up for the contest, could save some money

[Trueskater]

that might be good, i am not sure where i want to go yet but i think the east coast would be fun

[Paul]

well im planning on going to the 4 major stops on the tour next year

[Trueskater]

that will be good.

Hopefully i will only NEED to go to one, but i would like to film all of them

[KYSkater]

i'd just want to go and watch. that would be fun.

[Paul]

i hope i will only need one as well but even if i qualify at the first one im still going to all of them just to get the practice and to see and skate with everyone

[Trueskater]

Ya, i think that would be a fun trip to go to all of the vert comps everywhere.

[KYSkater]

i wish i knew how to skate better. cause contest sound fun. but my trick vocab isn't very big. but i have a feeling i'm gonna improve on it in about 2 weeks.

[Paul]

lol

[Trueskater]

congrats paul, that was #100

[Paul]

i went to Buffalo, 5th time in a vert ramp, only having the 360, backflip, and 720 McTwist (sometimes) and i went anyway, if Kevin hadn't gone to Buffalo i would've been at the world AM's, even though i found out 2 DAYS before the comp that i did qualify.

[KYSkater]

well all i can do is handplant(not even that stylish....need more height), fakie 360, and regular and ally-oop 180s. oh and a few low grabs. so i don't really think i'm ready for a comp yet...maybe after i learn to drop-in and a few more tricks, then i'll go.

[Andy Chase]

Rye is pretty lousy about thier vert. They even cancelled thier sky high vert this year. There is another contest they run called wicked am witch is run by another orginazation that rents the park. They usually do this sweet overall impression vert jam witch is wicked fun.

[Paul]

hey andy let us know when any contest are going to be at rye and maybe some of us could come up, i know i would definantly try to come up.

[KYSkater]

man, thats so freaky. you all were talking about Rye Airfield all day yesterday, and what was the "Spot Check" in my DB mag when I get home...Rye Airfield! Thats freaky.

[Trueskater]

thats funny

[angryskater]

rye is ridiculous about comps. also they pay no attention to inline at all. theres like 2 comps a year their but the ppl who skate it are pretty chill. usually only me andy pat schaeffer and 1 or 2 of the local kids. couldnt go to the last one cuz i had to fuckin WORK. it blew to say the least. you guys who want to skate rye should just set a date a come up for a weekend. youll love it. john youll have a blast the coping is ultra smooth. and the trannys OH MY GOOOODD!!!. SERIOUSLY IT HAS TO B 1 OF THE BEST RAMPS IN THE WORLD. im not joking. me and andy have skated a LOT of ramps all over and still cant find one better. seriously set a date and go its worh it.
