Toronto as a great group of core riders, but the real hills are in the burlington and grimsby area.
When are you going to visit us?

burlington and grimbsy are only 30mins west of Toronto, right next to Hamilton if you know where that is.

as for flat all the way to BC i dunno about that. There is this thing we have here in Ontario called the Niagara Escarpment. With some very tech runs, very straight and fast runs as well as a bunch of mellow carvers.

check out some of these videos we have made around the Burlington, Grimbsy and Dundas area.

YouTube - Slippery when wet

YouTube - The Northern Escarpment

YouTube - Autumn Wheels

and finally a video made by andrew chapman all filmed in Southern ontario, grimbsy, burlington, toronto area

YouTube - Ontario Longboarding

hope you guys come up some time this summer!!!

Please stop in the town of Cobourg, Ontario on your way. It's about an hour East from Toronto, and although it does have some halfway decent runs the main purpose of your visit would be to terrorize little old ladies. Also between that town and Port Hope (15m away) in the back country there are some miighty steep hills. I used to live there, it's a tourist town now but damn did we have some parties on the beach.

You should make a stop in Guelph and take a tour of the local color, s'not too far from Burlington.. well okay, almost as far as Toronto. If you're not dithering from the lake shore cities, it'd be out of your way.

I'd ease off there.

Many have skated both areas, we may not have the same kind of hills but we definitely have hills!
