Longboarding - Phoenix Park, Dublin (Those Guys)

The lads setting off down one of the slower runs in Phoenix Park with me following and having a close call at the end having to dodge a car while going over a speed bump up a curb.....

Phoenix Park look pretty flacid as far as longboarding goes.

@CoolSliminns You'd know about flacid mate... ;-) What hills are you bombing?

@seanpburke haha, mate dont take it the wrong way, im just saying there is unfortunately not many places in Ireland (especially if you live in dublin!) to go longboarding safely! I just go around my local area in kilkenny, it's nothing special but its a bit faster then the hills in Phoenix P. Quick thinking when avoiding that car, by the way ;)

@CoolSliminns Cool, there are a few spots in Phoenix park, I've gotten over 50kmph on a few wide downhill bike paths, (Khyber Pass) but it's mainly about caving/dancing/pumping for our guys/gals - not looking forward to the winter....

There are spots all around Dublin.

Some are more dodgy than others, and may only be skate-able at 4am on a Monday.

Killiney has a few nice rides. And a couple of hairy ones.

And the hills are alright too.
