PARKING: When you come into the development the first road on the left dead ends into a cul de sac, please park as far down that street as possible. We need to keep as many cars out of the skate area as possible. This development is being marketed and we need to be as low profile as 40 skaters and friends can be..
The F-150 Chairlift is in the shop but other shuttle vehicles will be available and we will shuttle riders and gear down to the bottom of the hill or you can ride your boards down.
Here is a map for your viewing pleasure:
Tee shirts will be for sell at the jam so bring cash if you want one. We will have the prices figured out by tomorrow. For those of you wanting to be Charter Members special shirts will be available with a designation on the sleeve and will cost an additional $5. All proceeds from shirt sales minus the cost of the shirts and screen printing will go to fund the website...www.downhillbillies.org
Charter Members additional money is to help offset the start up costs.
Also, anyone wanting to pitch in and bring bottled water, a cooler, and other drinks would be appreciated. This development is currently being patrolled by the local police department so alcoholic beverages need to be kept hidden.
We are still working on after jam plans to give you the opportunity to partake in the fermented drink of your choice.
By the way, Troutman is a small town but they do have a drug dog.
