It was a pretty chilly 40°f, but James, Gus and Tae showed up ready to cruise. We rode up and down Abbott Rd and Grand River Ave weaving through cars and bar-goers. East Lansing was buzzing with weekend fever, so there was a big audience for James to impress with his long-ass wheelies.
We quickly grew tired of campus and decided to ride out to the Frandor parking lot to mess around. Upon our arrival I had the idea to see if the skate park was open....It was, and it was awesome! We hit the berms and vert walls and quickly discovered that pedal strikes were a definite problem. Despite a few mishaps, we had a short game of follow-the-leader. It is definitely something we are going to do again.
Next week is the Halloween Alleycat. There will be a race, a skid competition, and a track-stand anti-race. I will be handing out prizes for first place in each; they will most likely be beer, a thickslick tire, and some blinky-lights (respectively).
Its almost time for Thursday night cruises again. I will be posting pictures from our adventures this semester. Check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/spartanconspiracy/
