Ferguson Corners Road,Rushville, New York

The Hill is east of Rushville off 247 going south. Turn left onto Ferguson Corners Road. Drive down about a 1/4 mile and WHAMMO! meet your Hill !!!! I still haven't gone down the hill from the top because I never felt safe with the equipment I've had in the past. Well now I have 107MM Electric Flywheels and a 42" Stella "Battle Axe" dropdown and Bear Trucks, not to mention ceramic bearings and Doh Doh Rock Hard Bushings. I will be practicing on Saturday August 20th 2011 at about 6:30 AM. Then again on Sunday August 21st at the same time. I will never recommend or promote anyone who is not extremely experienced with going down hills to attempt this hill on a regular skateboard. There are many video's on Youtube showing what happens when that is tried. Small wheels and inexperience will only get you "Road Rash". Much research and trials for 4 years with various combo's of trucks, bushings, wheels, boards and bearings have got me to this point. My goal is to record 50 plus MPH and I believe this hill will get me that speed eventually. TC

Longboarding in Old Forge, New York



Visited Old Forge New York this past week and had some fun on Big Moose road nearer to Inlet NY but Old Forge is only about 10 miles away.

Longboarding in Lyons, New York



Arrive at the hill before 6:30 AM. Make sure there's no stones in the road ascending the hill. This particular hill is great because all oncoming traffic can be seen and heard, especially on a Sunday morning or evening. These 2 times are the only times I will ride. Lotta fun. Helmets are always required. TC
