i used to drive into EA specifically to skate. i would put the skates on in the tops parking lot there, and then skate all through the town. this was at night so of course there was less traffic, but damn EA has some nice roads. chestnut ridge aint bad, and is pretty close. how about green lake. not alot of miles, but venture out into the town of OP on the less trafficed streets and you have a fine course.
