neil and i have just found an absolute peach of a hill, way smoother than anything we've skated before, too fast to bomb with out sliding. About 3 motorway lanes wide and about half a mile long with corners.

The other that connects to the bottom of the hill above is exactly the same surface, but more of a carving hill - skipping onto the pavement and then off back onto the road again. LOVED IT

The last 3/4 days have been amazing, we'll add some photos of todays hill shortly.

Another Burgh sweetie ;)

This is the main hill we found a few days ago. There is another part that runs from this hill ( at the top ) which leads to a big sweepy winding road with the same surface....


what are you guys waiting for???

The last are a few shots of Neil and I. 1st one is Neil at Eastbourne 2009 and the other two are of me at Peyragudes France

Guys I'm well impressed...that hill looks like a cracker!
Also Good work on getting over to Europe this summer...I had hoped to do it last summer but i moved house, had another kid and enjoyed the credit crunch!

Do you fancy writing a report in a new thread on Peyragudes and i'll stick a banner and link on the front page...Although I don't have much time to skate at the moment I should sort out and update the site!

Cheers

Will.

You guys have been busy scoping out / bombing some great hills - we must get a bombing/carving session organised.

Well done !

I'd love to write something on Peyragudes, but its finding the time to do so - so little dry days left so im making the most of it. Neil and I have been out everyday for the last week or so. Maybe when the weather turns for the worst!

Its a real shame we haven't managed to meet up for a spin before now. Fly had arranged to drive to Edinburgh a few weeks ago, only for his timing belt to snap en route.

I appreciate that a lot of you are family guys and have work commitments, so I understand trying to find time to skate. Neil and I are always out if the weather is good, so if you're planning on heading through to Edinburgh get in touch.

We've got some absolute cracking hills in and around Edinburgh that nobody other than us has skated. We feel like the guys who discovered mavericks in San Francisco AN ABSOLUTE MONSTER WITH NOBODY TO SHARE IT WITH!!!!

ONLY 7 MONTHS TO MAY tick tock tick tock
