Hey guys,
Im an aussie skater going travelling later this year. My first stop is Orlando, not sure how long i will be there it all depends on how much riding i can get done. I'll definitely hit up OWC and the projects. I'd also love to do some riding with anyone out there as well. Always good for gas money, cleaning etc... And the favour would be reciprocated if you guys came over to Aus and wanted to skate!
cheers

ryanno, I have a boat and 4 different Integritys to demo if you want to head out for a day or 2. I don't do much cable riding, but I am down for it. I am just north of O-town. You can PM me if you want to discuss it.

Ryanno, I am also headin across to the states later this year for a holiday! What dates will you be there? I am in florida for the first week of nov.
I asked a similar question here a while ago and it looks like there are heaps of guys in florida that are cool enough to take an aussie for a few skates. Some of you guys need to come down here one day so we will be able to return the favour!

Hey guys,
Well looks like ill be in orlando from the 27th sept till 11th October so for 2 weeks. Im planning on riding as much as possible. I have a few questions,
1. Whats the cheapest reliable accom near OWC? Or around orlando in general? Wheres the best place to stay?
2. Car hire, Im only 18 however will have my international license. Do they hire out cars to under 21's? I do have travel insurance.
3. Any places worth visiting? Both wakeskating and general?
Cheers for your help!

Bro i did the same thing when i was 19, only i didnt hire a car, i walked there from my hotel (took about 40 mins but it was worth it). Just around the corner from Odub there are some motels which are fine to stay at (i was at the best western), but yeh i spent most of my time at odub so it really doesnt matter if your room is good or not.
Have fun bro, owc is a sick place to ride at

Yeah i dont mind at all what my rooms like as long as my gears safe! Anybody know the closest/cheapest motel to Odub? How long were you there for JohnnyBravo? Did you do anything other than ride there?

Unfortunately i dont have a hire car which sucks but if anybody is keen to help me out with tows behind anything or anything to do in Orlando (preferably wakeskating orienatated) id be more than willing to pay my way and return the favour if you come to Aus. Much appreciated,
