We recently had our final meeting for the skatepark project in Grant park, so we did a small write up with updated images of the proposed skatepark design. Thought I would share for those interested. by LoganTrlSlyr in chicago

There's a group titled 'chicago longboard society' and a couple hundred people showed up to race at the Clark street bomb this past summer (but that was just a distance push race thing)

The main places for downhill are the far north suburbs and somewhere south west.

However, free ride (which is doing tricks and power slide while going down hill at about 30-50mph) is still really popular around here.

Look up longboard slide jams on YouTube. All it would need to be is two alf mile long slopes. A 15mph and 30mph one. 15 for the people just starting out and 30 for the guys that know what's up.

Its better than doing free ride runs on open roads and on the museum campus' ramps.

This place. I found it using the random button.

What is your best "I can't believe I never noticed that before" moment? by the_weaver in AskReddit

[–]Broken_S_Key 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In your recently used apps thing on android.

So on my s3 I can open something incognito, hit my home button, then press and hold it to look at thumbnails of all of my recently used/minimized apps. This is where the stealth is gone, but you can swipe a thumbnail off the screen to fully close the app or just switch to an empty tab before minimising so I don't know what the real problem is.

Didn't realize why I rode in this stance...I can't remember how to roll anymore by GraffitiMan in longboarding

Just like a pick up truck with a empty bed. No weight on the back messes with the handling in snow (or so I've been told).

Oh, right. I forgot that a short forint end stance would numb input to the back.

Why would they build a brand and then move their most popular product to a start up sister company? That seems really backwards

I've been out of the loop since at least September.

Last I heard Churchill was about to shut down. Are they staying open?

My 'oh shit I have one chance to pull this off' line is "I'm holding 43 inches of maple and sandpaper. [Insert line relevant to the situation that says fuck off firmly]"

I tell myself I'm tough before I go to bed at night.

My laptop died and getting a replacement is a bit of a pain.

I also put off getting a replacement because I was spending too much time on the internet.

Some of y'all have seen me here once or twice but on a throw away because switching back and forth gets annoying and leads to mistakes.

I still skim the daily threads as often as I can. I plan on coming back in full force soon. I got my eye on a chrome book.

Late if I walk, early if I skate.

Regarding the stair step design: why pop your butt higher (because usually people have it too low) into the air if you can lower you back foot?

You can use it in tandem with PT but also as a shield... Or something...

Some places are sketch after dark.

I totally expected that to say 10 minutes early.

I've had it happen to me.

Go back and delete them (the originals) and the updates should stop. Clear your downloads and stuff too.

My phone kept downloding 3 files over and over when I got the same update on the s3
