What the fuck are we gonna do. All of our indoor parks are closing and the ones that are still up look down upon bikers. Where do you guys ride? And who wants to hook up and go ride austin texas with me this winter?

Yeah all the indoor parks are closeing and 3rd lair isnt really good to be me and my friends go to the hopkins 3rd lair overpass where you can bike skate whatever only problem its outdoors
Midwest Riders -.-
3rd in GV is fun as hell, and they allow bikes in all sessions now. The decent summer kicked their ass financially. showcase might close, but if they get a good surge of business they could stay open. 3rd also has a place in burnsville which I hear is kinda fun, better than nothing at all like the guys way up in northern MN...
Oh and midwestrider, you just gotta man up, wear layers, glove it and tough out the weather as much as possible. being all worried and complaining gets you nothing.
What other parks frown upon bikers? 3rd GV was the only real place with issues out of the last 10 years ive been riding...showcase basically caters to us, ollie loved bike nights cause it was packed, same with renegade. Try going to mankato, they have indoor and outdoor parks, and 1 dollar wednesdays (i think its still going...)

When you take riding in its most basic form, we are all the same.
Message me if there are problems
showcase and renegade are both great, burnsville 3rd lair is fun but not the greatest, havent been to GV 3rd ever. and now thats its bikes at all times i might be able to have a chance at going to a session. and do what me and dave do. put on some warm gloves, and thick hoody or nice coat, maybe a warm pair of socks, and be really dedicated. look at Tom Haugen, he rode all year round, lots of days in his backyard and street infront of his place even in winter, now he goes to x-games and tours with other great riders.
I hear renegade is gone now. Sad really...Go to mankato. It is about 45 min to an hour sw of the burnsville area, take 169 right into town. It's fun.

Edited Date/Time:
oh snap i havent been to renegade in like a year, and whats the park in mankato called? are u talking about the ymca chelsea one?
Yea man. There are talks of them getting rid of the wood outdoor stuff and building a concrete park out there.
Pick a warmer day with no wind and shovel off your local park. I've been doing it for about 66 years now. Yea most free parks suck but get like 4 guys shoveling then riding and its a blast. (Plus most skaters are winter weather weenies, won't go in the cold to skate...)

ha i figured, and yeah ive done that before, shovel/broom and a towel/squeege.
hey dave whats ur email? we should try to get together to ride in the next few weeks. i gotta paint and seal coat my frame, and then put the bike together. also waiting on my wheel to get back from profile, sent it in to get an axle replaced and hub rebuilt. so like 2 weeks.
well this is basically dead. but i really just started riding last spring. never had to tough it out in the winter but im down for it. oh and by being looked down upon.. 3rd lair of bville is the perfect example. like 2 bike sessions a week and if its too busy they wont let you in.

both 3rd lairs let bikes in @ all sessions now.
no fuckin way. thank you sir. you have just made my life. if you see a kid riding there with tan walls tires. its me. say hi. haha

most likely wont happen. my bike with all my new parts are partially assembled and i leave for military training/deployment in 5 days. be back in 7 months
That's not gonna narrow it down a lot due to the tan walled odyssey tires... hahamidwestrider wrote: no fuckin way. thank you sir. you have just made my life. if you see a kid riding there with tan walls tires. its me. say hi. haha
