    Who loves to hop??

    I’ve lived in NY my whole life(39yrs) and just found out how much fun
    you can have hopping around Central Park. I live 30 minutes out of the
    city but 30 minutes can’t stop me from hopping around the most awesome
    rock structures around. It feels like the park built them just for Uni
    trials (beginner to advanced).

    I live on the Long Island Greenbelt trail which is 20-30 miles of great
    off road riding but, nothing like these rocks.

    I spent 2hrs at 100 degrees in the park yesterday (Monday) with my KH24”
    Freeride and I stayed at the same rock formation. There are hundreds of
    rock formations in the park and I’m sure many are perfect for us to
    play. Next I will bring the KH20” For more air.
    After 2hrs on the rocks I hopped all over the Museum of Natural History.
    There are tons of steps, ledges and more.

    If anyone is local enough and wants to hop through the park one weekend
    I’m in.
    The NY unicycle club (Unatics) meets the first Sunday and third Saturday
    of each month at Grants Tomb, after the meeting would be the best
    time.

    Here are some Pictures, I am working on a gallery so next trip I can
    post the video.

    The only caveat is you might need a glass-proof tire for some of those
    rocks. Yes, we had fun playing on them before there was any such thing
    as MUni!

    They are doing just fine.

    Any secret area's you can recommend?
    Let us know when you plan to be back for some NY fun. If you need a
    place to stay on the Greenbelt just let me know.

    We only rode in a few of the more obvious areas. The one in the old
    Christmas card is somewhere in the southern part of the park. Another
    place we had some fun is more up toward the middle of the park, where
    that little lookout tower is. There are some big rocks there. But we
    were always tourists when we came into the city, and I didn't get to
    know the park very well.

    Thanks for the kind offer. I'd love to ride the old Greebelt again
    someday, but I don't know when that will be. We were out there last
    October, but stayed in the City and only made it out to LI for one day,
    to visit some old friends.
