Mililani,

I read somewhere that the Pearl City one is the most biker friendly. I'm not sure where I read that. I live about a mile from the Mililani one. Since school is back it session I might go play around there in the mornings when no one is there.

I've been to both Manana and Mililani. I don't go there enough to know what the overall tension is like toward bikers, but all the times I've been to either everyone was really friendly.

Something about Mililani feels weird to me, nothing really flows and transitions are harsh.

Manana on the other hand, is awesome!

Is Manana crowded during school hours. Never rode skate parks before so I wanna check it when its empty.

Went to Manana this morning at 6am. Probably the most friendly for skate parks out there, but if you do go early you have to dodge broken beer bottles. Some bmxer must have pissed some people off because there is a bunch of new graffiti that says 'no bikers'.

I usually ride empty pools all over, and underground pipes in Pearl City. There are miles of them under the streets. If I go to a park, I usually hit it super early so I dont deal with the drama. Great session before work with my sons...

One more thing...Hickam is only available for BMX on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Bowl off limits, but I sneak on it when no one is watching

I gotta give that a try soon. I have never really been in a skate park. Only once many years ago at Pipeline skate park in Upland CA. There was a BMX race track in the back. So I made a quick run through the mini bowls, was like jumping some med size table tops, jumping out of one bowl and landing going into another. Did get to see Eddie Fiola practice there, so much crazier in person.

Wow! Can you post or PM me the directions to the pipes in pearl city? I'd love to ride there!

hmmm...

I'm actually building a new transition in an abandoned pipe. Would love the help! I will PM you! Can't mention it here, too many skaters watching...
