I hear ya....but that means perfect areas to build trails. I live in downtown Orlando Florida right now, and I WISH I lived in a smaller town so I could find a spot to build trails. You would think that since Orlando is a city, there would be a lot of street spots. Not really. Since it rains alot in florida, and the since there is a lot of sand, they dont pave drainage ditches and such since the water needs to run off into the ground. Also, since Florida is flat, there arent many stairs, which means there arent many rails. And since most of Florida has grown in the past 20 years, the new rails that do pop up are aluminum which suck ass to grind. Not to mention the heat and humidity get to be wayyyyy to much in the summer. Floirda laws require you to have lights on the front and back of your bike at night or the cops WILL give you a $75 ticket and possibly impound your bike. Add that to the fact that it takes forever to go anywhere down here due to the traffic. Most other cities are over 2 hours away (cept tampa 1 hr). At least in Connecticut you can drive anywhere in New England in a matter of a couple hours. You may live in a small town, but once you get out and ride more of CT, you will appreciate it. Shit, New Haven, Waterbury, and Hartford alone could constitute making three kickass bike vids.

I live in Unionville, and all we got is one skate park, and it sucks. It's so tiny, has three rails, a halfpipe, fun box, spine transfer, a few quarter pipes, and that's it. It's so tiny too, no room to do anything big. We have to share it with farmington kids, who are snotty rich kids but, atleast it's somthing =/

i've lived in CT for 22 years, i moved to Virginia in December of 2008 and I cant find a park or trails for the fucking life of me! CT has a sick riding scene, i miss CT i never realized how good it was till i left. Haven Skatepark is probably the best thing that has happened to the CT Bike scene, along with Macisco buying Tonys bike shop and starting the DROPOUT shop. Ride Yale in New Haven and you wont be dissapointed if u want to ride street, their art museum is sooo sick to ride , all granite. CT did have alot of crappy parks but the scene is deff growing, hamden trails were in RIDE BMX and the Haven park has been in DIG BMX MAG and numerous videos, Mike Aitken and Brian Foster both rode their along with a butch of other talented riders. CT is deff blowing up

i grew up racing and riding in connecticut. you need to leave your town to go ride any good spots like people mentioned above. ct has some really amazing riders too that i have known since my early teens that all grew up riding ct as well. Not for nothin, hop on a train to nyc, go get lost for a day. Best thing about living in ct, your pretty much paces away from 4 or 5 amazing citys.
