Hey I go to the Coast Guard Academy and we have a few people that longboard here. We're looking for some new hills. Usually we cruise around base but are looking for some new stuff. Anyone know any good spots in New London?

I skated there a long time ago b/c my dad was playing some organ concert there so I just skated the city. Near the highway (near you) there are some pretty big hills. You NEED TO KNOW how to pendy, if you don't then don't bother looking there. There are also some other big hills on the other side of town from you, one of which is pretty steep and like 3 blocks long and ends in a 4 way stop sign. So basically you need to know how to slide in order to ride the hills there.

Check out posts in this forum for Wheelabrator (A great hill in Norwich - only on Sundays though). Also look for the Stone Garden thread - that is in New London.

Block Island is fun too - we try to plan a trip there once a year.
