are there any good skateparks in orlando?

Bad Luck

im leaving tonight and i'll be there for a week for the webcast-tv OWC contest thing. i want to know if and where there are good places to skate around town, or if theres any good park in the area. or if anybody wants to do any wakeskating, i'd rather not ride OWC the whole time im there. Smile

mods - i put this here so it'd get more views quickly since im leaving soon, so please dont move it for a little while.

George Daniels, yeh. ive skated that before. i remember when it was being built. little on the small side. but a lot cheaper and not really as strict on the rules as vans

how long ago did the bad lands go out of business? I think it was in altamonte springs. or is it still running

Badlands went out of business a long time ago.
Oviedo has a nice park also, lots of nice lines.
