So i'm going to portland next week for spring break, from colorado. I've heard the skating there is great and i want to hit up some of the parks, but i need to know if i can bring my board as a carry on. has anybody tried this? i really dont want it to get taken away but i also really want to bring it.

I strapped mine to my backpack when flying from Boston to Denver last summer. Just put my backpack under my seat and didn't have any issues.

Best of luck to ya!

i've done it no problem, but that was also a few years ago. As long as you don't have more than two things including the skateboard you should be chilling.

if people can now bring sporting equipment (golf clubs, bats, hockey sticks) then I am sure skateboards will be no problem

Definitely, burnside is a classic too (Im sure you're already going there).

If you venture outside of portland, hood river has a super fun bowl and street course, and lincoln city (on the coast) has 4 or 5 top notch parks .
