    If you are going to Orlando, go to the vans skatepark in a mall on international drive. Take your board and take out a membership - cheaper skating if you can fit in a few sessions while you are there! There is another skateshop on I-drive with a good selection of stuff and a miniramp at the back of the shop! Look through the yellow pages when you get there for addresses. Have fun!
