Re: skateparc de Antrim
That's great! I'm not much fun in the park, but I'll make efforts to be around there too. I have extra cones, slalom boards, to use or not as the situation requires. Try to find me when you get here, I'll do the same. Thanks! Hi dave - mb here, claude's partner - my kids really had fun skating the s...

Our skatepark is no big shakes: A quarterpipe, pyramid, a couple boxes and smaller ramps. I wouldn't make a trip for it - although a trip a few hundred yards wouldn't be so bad. Mostly about the schmooze, those guys just hunker down there when the race is in full swing. Nashua looks cool, I'm going ...

Next Sunday we skate (of course!) if the weather's good. I have a timer (thanks Dr. Dan!) and we'll be doing some single lane timed runs as well as some dual lane racing.

Re: Permission for 202 Hill
I'll make inquiries about the hill. The guy who owns it is a local developer from Bennington. If I were to guess, I'd say it's unlikely, but it can't hurt to ask. Liability insurance would need to be purchased for this, raising costs. As nice as it would be, it's a private road, and wouldn't be cov...

I don't see that development on Mapquest, but it's between Antrim and Hillsboro (north of us) just off 202 on the west side. Between Chauncey Farm and Dugre's Auto...

If Saturday doesn't rain out, and Sunday is decent too, I'm up for more of whatever on Sunday. Sunday is the rain date for the clinic / race. There's local political valu...

yes, we could leave the cross streets open. That makes it easier for you to get the permission, right? I think we only impact the one family.

Science projects rule! I just cut an hourglass bushing in half, and discovered that it, with a khiro barrel, are the same height as my stock Bennett bottom. (without the bottom washer if we're splitting hairs as well as bushings.) I used a hacksaw and drew it carefully through the bottom of the V, w...
