Akron Area Metropark Trails

Let's do it. I'm yet to see another longboarder face to face. There's lots of flat area, but we can find some decent slopes too.

Cool im in Stow, ive talked to people on youtube who ride the valley, and one of my buddies (who just started riding) works with people who also ride.

We rode round dowtown the other night, through garages and part of the towpath with nice long hill

I saw carves from other longboarders on the towpath so i know there outthere

Willinstow and I are hitting it up today. Who else is in? I'm pumped to start meeting up with some of you guys. I'll even bust out the camera and start posting vids if anyone here in Ohio has anything worth showing (I don't, unless falling is cool).

PM me fools!

Peace.

How's traffic? Stop signs? Room to roll out up the hills?

traffic is few to none...theres all of maybe 10 houses on this street so its really only local traffic but not often...i'd say the most congested time would be when people are getting home from work and that's still not many cars....no stop signs to worry about and every hill you go down has a hill that you can usually make up at the end or you might have to skate for a few seconds to make it to the top of the next one

Captain,

How is that stretch? I haven't done it yet? I was busy all day, otherwise I would have loved to ride with you. PM me your cell and we'll hook up soon.
