    Maryhill is hard to beat, but I have to say that Alpental is probably my favorite hill. Interlaken, The Church, Chuckanut, and Baker, those are all worthy skate spots.

    skating waterfront in portland is some pretty fun stuff for just cruising. dragonstail is amazing, and you seriously cannot beat the entire town of salem for riding pretty much any discipline. mary is pretty amazing tho.

    Well I live in the gorge and near Vancouver Wa or Camas theres this nice little hill called Prune hill.
    Big money estates up there which means nice curvey roads. Theres this one hill that has the smoooothest pavement I've ever seen in my life.

    maryhill fo sho
    Salem does have sick slopes
    Rowena Point is pretty fun

    oh forgot to mention
    Prune hill isn't really a "nice little hill" it's got some steeps.
    and the smooth road I was talking about is defiantely 50+mph

    And Nancy, I dont think you would want to footbreak down dragons tail. You would go straight through to your foot.

    nice to see my hill gets some recognition
    since i live up there i longboard on almost all of it i still need to try out some more roads like brady rd starting from dorothy fox.
    i like to bomb mt. tabor every once in a while if i want to see other longboarders or i just bomb sierra rd, norwood drive (sweet scary rain riding if you dont have rain wheels) and a short steep hill called drewfs farm.
    did somebody say hills?

    maryhill, rowena, senator, mosier bike path run (its fun trust me),
    and local hills like mt. tabor and the stark curves. miller roads pretty sick, it was soaking wet when i skated it, but i'll make it out for a dry day some time, ooh and zoobomb is sick as hell!

    definitely one of the best around is this huge cemetary in Shoreline near Ballinger. Its called HolyRood. I mean its by no means perfect but it is a great place to practice and there are so many turns to practice. The main run can get you up to a good 30 but thats about it.

    really fun though

    there's also a park on the far west side of Ballard you can start from and basically bomb way down toward the locks--- Ballard late at night is a great, mellow carving run -- I used to Carveboard it alot. not insanely steep, just enough to keep you moving a long long time.

    Greenlake's always the flatland nirvana. I'd love to live right on the lake...

    Honestly, my favorite spot is the road I live on, if only for one huge reason.
    I walk to the end of my driveway, hop on a board, and dont set a foot down again until I am at Lake Whatcom...
    Good pavement, a few different options on how to get there, good carving, decent speed, corners, just an all around fun area to skate and live.
