Downtown is awesome and all but if you go further up into northwest there are a lot of cool spots and the bust factor is generally lower. Columbia heights has a lot of cool stuff within like 4 blocks of the metro station. There is a sick ledge gap spot at 14th and Oak NW I think it is? If you just skate around you'll find stuff. Also, there are some natural brick quarterpipes in georgetown that have popped up in a lot of videos. If you're into skating tranny, there's a pretty rad but kinda janky unmonitored bowl in this park off 20th and Rhode Island NE.
