AMHERST – Paul Sullivan and Troy Doming, both of Belchertown, found plenty of concrete surface to try their longboard skate boards around the University of Massachusetts campus on Friday, finally settling on a gentle ramp between the Lederle Graduate Research Research Tower and Goessman Laboratory.
