There are a couple of places on the island you can skate but the road itself is ridged concrete (for grip as tarmac wound be deadly after a shower of rain) You could try skating it, you'd shake yourself to pieces, if you survive all that shaking you could end up going over a wall into a ravine, medivacs are very expensive here :9)
But as they say everything's possible and skateboarding proves that sometimes.
I've been there 4 times. The first time was in 1990 when I took the opportunity to fetch an easy Saba drivers licence. Until 1993 any Dutch citizen could change the Saba licence for a precious Dutch European back home without any conditions. Nice place, nice excursion for people who visit nearby St. Maarten. The view from the Scenery Mountain is breathtaking!
Mal, Do you still have the old one with the old songs? I really like that one, and yes I know the video is the same, but I like the other music better that is all.
hey im a geordie! i read a book about the guy who built the road across Saba. Would love to go there one day.anyone from saba want to do a house swap in australia

They call it simply "The Road". And it really is THEE road!
This one guy decided that the island needed a road, and did a correspondence course in road engineering. I'd give him an A+.
Thanks for posting.
