im not extremely familiar with holmdel, but if you go past the highschool then turn left at the light and go all the way straight, even straight past the stop sign you go into a development which huge ass houses, and they live all the way at the end of it. I actually owned my elbows and entire side when I bombed down a hill then realized the road ended and the turn was way to sharp with my grippy wheels, so I tried to run it off not realizing I was going at least 25mph. In the end I got bad road rash. Good thing I had sliding gloves on or I would of broken my wrists and fingers. I hate that board, its a crappy sector 9, and the trucks were way too loose, now I got a new gravity mini board which is sick (for college next year). This summer I plan on making some boards, I eventually wanna make a drop through downhill.
if you know marlboro, it might be sick the road which parallels the mental hospital (my great uncle used to be director of it, what a coincidence), I think it is conover. Or even the road which leads up to Collier Services which is off that road, and its a freaky ass steep 1 way road.
Collier is an awesome hill very thin and scary though... the road that paralells with Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital is 520 and it sucks for skating... and way too many cars.

I mean the one that runs through the light - turn left at light on 520, not 520 (front part of the hospital) or if you continue down boundary road through the light the road changes (side part of the hospital) and thats what im talking about.
im from marlboro and i just got my longboard like a month ago but ive been away so i dont know any places around here. But old bridge, which is right down route 9, has a skate park with bowls and i love taking my board into bowls. I dunno many hills though , except holmdel park, and i got yelled at for going down the huge hill

btw, where is the skatepark in old bridge?
yeah any spots in the holmdel, marlboro, manalapan area let me know i love exploring ha. Seriously, i love it. Anywho the skate park in old bridge i dont know the address too but i can give you directions. lets say you take 520 from holmdel area towards marlboro until you hit route 9, make a right onto route 9 and take it until you see the stupid home depots across from each other and exit right. Make a left straight off the exit ramp from route 9 and head straight in that direction crossing over a few lights and passing a few developments on your left until you come at an intersection where theres like a shopping center ahead on your right and the skate park ahead on your left. there's also a pizza hut right there 2 seconds from the park. its a cool park, not too big but the closest one i know of with a bowl. good scenery too cuz theres a lake and recreation area right there.

well if you want a gnarly hill that I've gone 40 on a bike, there's telegraph hill road (nice and windy), also takalousa (pavement not the greatest). There's robert's road starting at crawford's corner by f and f nurseries (that has a little downhill by the turn), there's also a shitload of neighborhoods of crawfords that are nothing but hills.
I'm in philly right now, and i haven't been back to holmdel in a few months, after i started longboarding, so all these hills i've either ran or done on a bike. But yeah just google maps terrain that ####.....
and thanks for the direction to the old bridge park!
