I'm new to NWLB. I go to UW and have been longboarding for about a year. I am hoping to get into DH/Freeriding and would love to have some new skaters to ride with and, especially, learn from. It seems like longboarding is progressing so much and I want to be a part of it. Let me know if you would ever like to ride 2064094868. Thanks!

Hell yeah! I go to UW too and am desperately looking for more people to skate with! My name is Trevor and my number is (206)601-1711. I am living with my parents for the summer but am still fairly close to campus if you want to skate. I move back to the UW area at the beginning of Aeptember. There is also a facebook group that you want to be joining. It's called "UW longboarders unite!" and I send out messages every time people go out and skate. PS:
Karpfish1: I know what board YOU ride. I remember putting a 9two5 on hold for you a couple weeks back ;)

Trevor I think i met you when i was in Motion like a month or two ago and you told me about that fbook group. I'm actually living at home in Redmond this summer but I can head over to seattle easily. My setup now is a dervish, which isnt probably the best to ride DH, so I might actually be heading into motion to look for a better freeride board so I might see you there in the near future

Pleland: Right on man, that must've been me you talked to at Motion. What's your name? It sounds like there will be plenty of new longboarding recruits for this coming school year. Stoked to meet all of you. Me and my friend Jerica are going to try to start an official longboarding club at UW this coming school year. Karp: I am super down for freeriding! Your first name is Zach, right? You have a number? I'll call you when we get a UW sesh together. As a matter of fact, are you guys available anytime this week? I was thinking about getting a pre-schoolyear skate session together sometime soon.

Lets get down to the U and get a couple more people. I know a fun little slope to slide on brooklyn and the north side of pacific. It's pretty mellow but a good speed to try some new slides.

let's just meet at the lot. If you go south on brooklyn (downhill towards the water) as you get towards the end you'll see a little parking lot on the left as you approach Pacific. I have work until 7, so after I eat dinner and all that it'll probably be around 8:30 by the time I can meet. Do you guys want to meet there at 8:30? It's lit, so we can skate as long as we want.

I think I know where you are talking about. I lived in the dorms last year and walked on the trail and passed by a lot with a nice long hill all the time. I will be there at 8:30

rcrider: yep that's the one. Peter mentioned that he went there with you once. I am intrigued by the idea of this steeper hill. Where is it? Zach: The closest cross street is Pacific. It is just slightly uphill of it. Do you know where Lander dorm is? It's just downhill of that on the other side of Brooklyn.
