Longboarding in Orlando, FL

mirthless · 06-02-2008, 02:58 PM

Is there somewhere good to go and cruise for a weekend in Orlando? Some park/walkways or something?

Also, if someone is around here, I'd love to meet up. Im hanging out here by myself after a trade show in Orlando, so I have no idea what hotel to stay in or what to do. Just me and my board. 22/m.

Hey man, I'm over at UCF. I usually host garage sessions but its pretty much dead over here

If you're into crusing/pumping, there's the West Orange Trail, about 30-40 minutes out. I've been wanting to take my Hustler/Timeline/Libido out there and do some long-distance pumping

Well, I ended up at a La Quinta Inn near the Orlando Airport. There is a tiny-ass park nearby, but you can do a lap in about two minutes

I went down the road in one direction for about 15 minutes and then the sidewalk ended.

I am beginning to find out this location really sucks, minus the convenient McDonald's nearby (which, for some reason, has some great decor and furniture?).

Either way, if anyone's around (even via short cab ride), let me know.

West Orange Trail is pretty damn long... but the garage sessions are probably down because its summer, and people are back at home now.

In Clermont there are some nice hills, but in Orlando its all about the parking garages!

Tallahassee has some nice hills. 45mph is attainable and 50+ if you are willing to go one some roads with traffic.

Lake Wales/Lakeland area (about a hour away) have some decent hills in housing developments.

Not exactly true.

You have to know......where to go.

And sometimes that requires ......................a little gasoline in the car.

If you're on facebook, look up Orlando Bombsquad, I have a session in Orlando 2-3 times per week.
