It was a blast, and we can't wait to come back again and see more of the country. The Park interconnect system pretty much allowed us to go anywhere on our boards, taxis were happy to take our boards on board (mind you we had 2 dancers with us), and no problems bringing them onto the trains. Most kerbs are disabled friendly so you can roll right over them if you're careful (the thoughtful blind assist rivets sort of throw you off unless you're expecting them).
A couple of places where you see no skating signs, we just picked up our boards, not a problem. But for the most part I think its one of the best destinations for a Longboarder who wants to see a a major city on his board. Common sense part of travelling - dont bother pedestrians and locals, dont bust out dangerous tricks in a crowd, and dont destroy public property, respect the signs, and always remember to smile etc. etc. and we've found most people welcome longboarders.
Oh and the food there is just amazing. Duck Rice Rules after a long day skating.
Places we hit:
Clarke Quay
Ft. Canning
Boat Quay
Esplanade
Suntec City
Orchard
East Coast Park - Amazingly fun place to cruise
Bukit Tinggi - Nice park, beautiful paths
Mt. Faber - If we could close down the road for a day....
Horti Park
Rifle Range Road
Kentridge Park
Rifle Range Road
And a few others that we passed, hit once, or just scoped out in general
Would be good if we had gotten a session in with the locals, but there is always the next time.
