board meetings

Windsor, ON...not much to do if you don't have money for a boat. But screw it let's go boarding! I don't mean to rip on Windsor too much. I was born and raised here, but I think that's why it's so easy for me to point out the bad over the good. But I'm making the best of it. Longboarding has become a new past time for myself and a surprising number of my friends. When it's a normal weekday night around here there isn't much to do other than hittin' up the river front with your board. I'd like to get some concrete meetings together with all the Windsor crew. So if your reading this right now I'm going to post the facebook group for Windsor longboarders. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=198098500555 - It'd be great if we could grow the community and try and mesh a good number of boarders to really take advantage of the few but decent spots we have in this town.

Speaking of which I wanted to point some out for anyone not from Windsor lookin' to rip while here, or for anyone that just hasn't found them yet. One of the best spots, although small is right at the end of Oulette. You can time the light and cruise to the bottom and hang that big left, maybe set up for a quick bomb past everyone chillin at the bistro. For a lil cruise longer you can go down to the pumping station and get some REAL good speed comin around the front of the station. Other paths break off near it like the one coming east to west about a block to the east. For a super technical S bend you can go a little further down, closer to the bridge, and hit the one on the West end of the parking lot which the first lot from the bridge. This one takes a couple rips but once you get it, you'll enjoy it. When all else fails, even the weather, you can always head to the parking garage near the bus station. Not speaking from experience of course, just observation. lol. For a longer, smoother, more relaxing ride, the Ganacho trail offers the perfect view and a beach along the way should you make it that far. Even bring your skim and make a stop at the beach. After that take the trail that wraps around the parking lot for the beach. If you go through a small tunnel, your on the right track. Head for that bridge and time the lights right and you can come cookin' through.

But hey if anyone knows any other spots that we haven't talked about, comment this blog and get it out there. I would like to know where the big hills are in Leamington.......
