Leee! this is badass. Gillert and I came up from Lethbridge for a buddies wedding the other weekend. ( AUG 10 2011 ) anyways we looked for the highest point and discovered patterson. Amazing roads you boys have up there. Cheers dude hope all is rockin'
Never thought i'd see my house + Car in a random video. :D but cool! I remember seeing a bunch of guys doing this last year, not sure if they were the same ones.
thats not entirely clear. skateboarding is illegal, however these are not ridden like skateboards, they are used for commuting, like a bike. and although we might not have mechanical brakes, we can all stop very quickly by sliding or footbraking.
and its not like we just do this because we're reckless thrill seekers. many of us compete internationally to represent calgary on a global circuit. The problem is is that we have no place to train.
well there has been 3 races there, and the first two COP charged the organizers over 10,000 dollars just to use the hill. The third one they stepped up and helped organize it, but due to politics between the promoter and COP there was no race this year.
basically if you want to ride paskapoo, either you need to cough up 10,000 dollars, or do one run before you get caught and arrested by security.
Is there any good hill like this one in the se near maple ridge.

do you end up sliding out at the end or does it flatten out?
And what is the fastest corner that you hit?
Swagerama 1 year ago
the run we usually do ends up going uphill at the end. if you go right to the bottom you have to slide out, but we take a right turn into a crescent.
the fastest corner is around 60 km/h
