Boston's original slalom site is repaved and ready to roll once again. Closed every Sunday to vechicular traffic from 10:am until 7pm. It has been in severe need for resurfacing for nearly 5 years and has not been worth skateboarding on for nearly teh past 3 years.
AS of 3 weeks ago the pavement is smooth and extremely grippy. Type I-20 modified, flatter stones with asphalt mix. Moderately fast surface- though not much hill- perfect for beginners and intermediate slalomers.
I'll post some clips we shot today.
I'm thinking this could be a regular thing once again.
For those interested in the slalom site's history- I'll see who can host some clips shot about 13-15 years ago- when it was last repaved.
We were refered to as "The Venice Beach of Boston" funny as we were actually in Cambridge.

John,
Thanks for all the tips yesterday! Great spot to refine technique - sorry couldn't stay longer! Easy central location for MA/RI riders.
