Oil City Skatepark - Oceanside, NY

HardcoreCokerRider · 2005-03-25T22:19:15+00:00

It turns out there are MANY skateparks on Long Island! Oil City is the first one that I'll be going to. I already spoke to the manager there and he is extremely unicycle friendly and supportive... and he can't wait to see me ride at the park! Unfortunately, I seem to have lost my Harbinger wrist guards, so I'll have to see if I can find a place to purchase them locally over the weekend so that I can ride at the park this Monday evening (the only session which is for bikes... and uni's). The manager told me he has seen several unicyclists riding at the Long Beach (outdoor) skatepark in the past, which is real close to Oil City... so I'll be riding at the Long Beach park sometime soon, as well... and hopefully I can meet some of the other unicyclists who ride over there. I'd love to ride with other unicyclists... so if there is anyone who'd like to join me at Oil City or any other local skateparks, please PM (or email) me. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: oil_city_street_course2.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/291191| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- HardcoreCokerRider - Skateparks, MTB & Urban Insanity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HardcoreCokerRider's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8529 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/39130

Oil City is the first one that I'll be going to. I already spoke to the
manager there and he is extremely unicycle friendly and supportive...
and he can't wait to see me ride at the park!
Unfortunately, I seem to have lost my Harbinger wrist guards, so I'll
have to see if I can find a place to purchase them locally over the
weekend so that I can ride at the park this Monday evening (the only
session which is for bikes... and uni's).
The manager told me he has seen several unicyclists riding at the Long
Beach (outdoor) skatepark in the past, which is real close to Oil
City... so I'll be riding at the Long Beach park sometime soon, as
well... and hopefully I can meet some of the other unicyclists who ride
over there.
I'd love to ride with other unicyclists... so if there is anyone who'd
like to join me at Oil City or any other local skateparks, please PM (or
email) me.

Hey Andrew,
Oil City is a great place! At the last NYUC meeting I mentioned that I
took my nephew there to skateboard last summer and he loved it. I don't
think I can make it this monday night, but I would be game to go another
week. Adam & Renie (greenbelt ride) would most likely go also.
Even though I lived in Long Beach for a few years, I never went to the
Long Beach outdoor park. I heard it stinks and I wasn't into riding at
the time.
PM me and we'll set something up.

Long Beach is where the Semcycles used to be assembled for the U.S.
market. But that was quite a few years ago now. Whoever is riding there
now is probably completely unrelated to the Abrahams family, though
there may be a connection if they've been around long enough.
That skate park looks pretty cool. Enjoy!

bicycles, but I never saw another unicyclist in Long Beach. I would
love to see that.

I remember you mentioning a skatepark... I just didn't remember that it
was Oil City. I'm psyched that the manager is so encouraging toward
unicyclists. I'll most likely go tomorrow night (3/28)... but I'm sure
I'll be back often so I can probably meet you there any time, but it
would also be great to figure out which Monday evening session works for
everyone (I'm pretty flexible regarding scheduling) and try to get a
group together (maybe some other Unatics or local riders will show up,
too). I'll PM you before I go there again.
