Where's the sign?

So there is this neighborhood with awesomely giant banked driveways. It is perfect for huge drifts, and big slides. It is quiet, and nondescript...almost too quiet. As it turns out, the neighborhood is unmarked private, according to one of the residents. The concerned resident was very polite, and a little surprised to find himself dealing with two, very mature, skateboarders. The association's insurance doesn't cover skateboarders on the road, and the neighborhood doesn't want to advertise their exclusivity. I think it would be in the insurance companies, and the associations interest, to advertise "private property". With no clear sign, anyone could use the road, and get injured, not just skateboarders. I respected the guy's wishes, for now, but intend on returning. Not out of spite, but out of principle. Nothing we do on that road is as, or more dangerous, as operating a motor vehicle.

Winter Skating

Here is a short video I through together, a mish-mash of skating from mid-December, to late January.

It was all shot with the GOPRO camera.  Enjoy!
