I think you guys have all seen this one. We are soaping it first for cheap insurance, no one has proven to us that aluminum doesn't slide.

about 90 mins south of you. PM me for details. We have 2 10' aluminum down rails in the back yard - so far so good. justo was it cold out when you tried that rail?

tell them you know me and joe...
at the very top of campus, theres this rail that goes down a 20 stair or something, than flat for a while, than it kinks a flat left, then theres a tree that is in such a bad spot cause if you fly off that left kink, youre done...than it goes down like 4 stairs, flat, 4 stair, flat, 4 stair, flat and ends.
its right across the street from that really mellow down rail.

anyway, back to my story. that big rail i just described...this kid joe hit that right as the 2.5-0 rolled up. he was going down and we were all stoked, the 2.5-0 was yellin "stop that!" than joe got to the end and we went fuckin nuts. security was stunned and decided to let us keep skating campus. best day skating ive ever had

Theres a Toilet seat factory in Scranton that has a 40ft Down Rail, and a 6kinker. The 6 kink rail has a light mounted onto the one handrail, so you have to hit the left handrail, and if you do it on a saturday night, very low chance of getting busted.

how cool would it be to say you hit a handrail at a toilet seat factory, seriously?

I really wana hit some rails. Lehigh definitely has good shit, i've skated there but everyone's right..the bust factor is huge. anywhere else in the area that could be done w/ rink snow?...i think some of the rails at lehigh would be alright to hit at night during a storm, but we need a shit load of snow.

i dont think that there is skate stoppers on the orefield rail but i think that the bust factor is pretty high being its right on 309

Almost positive that whole area is patrolled by two state cops. I don't know if Orefield has its own police or if its part of Whitehall or what, but I know Schnecksville and those areas are policed by two state cops who are seldom seen anywhere off 309.

i've seen that rail before...the flat part is soooooo tiny though, you'd def have to hop the kink or you'd be fucked. it's like 20' flat to 3' flat to 20' down and it's so steep and quick.

there is a rink right by lehigh in the southside. the bust factor is pretty high at lehigh because they have a shittt load of cops who are real cops and not rent-a-cops but if you go to the remote parts like in the upper corners or the back side of the campus at the top of the mountain you should be legit late... i heard rumors that the rink i was talking about packs their snow into blocks though but idn
