Downriver, Michigan
Most of the cities are really small here so I'll break it down into the places I've skated...
Trenton (HOMETOWN)
CVS Gap
A pretty good gap before it became a bust, pretty good spot for lines too, bumps, islands, and a little gap thats about as high as a four stair with a curb at the top and bottom (thats basically the gap, haha.)
West Road Tobacco Shop
Theres a few flat glaps, a bunch of manual pads and a decent knee high ledge. Pretty good warmup spot.
Barber shop
About three of those little two stair type deals that Gallant killed in WHL, you can only use the first stair as a manual pad.
Martenson's Funeral Home
Basically, it's a ledge thats flat going over a pretty steep bank. The ledges are chunky but not too chunky, theres also a gap, a flat gap, and a bike trail to enjoy...
Trenton High School
This spot USED to be so fun to skate at. Out front theres a tennis court with ledges in it, a 5 stair on the bleachers, a 7 stair with an uphill runway but is still skateable (of course), a pretty fun marble 3 up 3 down, a four stair that's basically jutting out of a wall (but can be skated). It's made so you can skate the side of the runup to the stairs as a ledge. Another 3 stair is tucked into the back of the building and has enough run up where you can skate the stairs as ledges, or skate the stairs. There are a few flat sand gaps that are kinda hard to skate because of how rough the cement is (its the kind with little mini rocks in it). Around the corner from that is ANOTHER three stair with a short flat ledge off it that's fun to skate.
St. Tim's Church
This is such a good spot if you're shitty at skating like me. A hard to skate four stair (about 8 feet of runup, one push worth), a lot of flat, and then a tiny gap into the street that's the main attraction of this place. Theres also a bank that has a curb jutting out of it which is also fun. By the four stair, theres a ledge jutting out that you can do shit off of, it's kinda like a loading dock.
Anderson Elementary
Speaking of loading docks...this is a fun spot if you can skate it. Theres a loading dock thats about theigh high, that you can easily ollie up, and a double sided ledge leading to the loading dock or going away from it. You NEVER get kicked out of here.
St. Paul's Church
DO NOT EVER GO HERE. There are perfect four stair rails. Theres a hill into a bump out to the street that they probably wouldn't care about, but oh man this place is a bust. They call the cops, and Trenton cops press charges.
Behind the Westroad Autoshop
An AMAZING bank you never get kicked out of with a guardrail you can ollie over or whatever.
Behind...um...I'm not sure but it's on the opposite side of the road from the above
Two knee high loading docks in a row, you can ollie up one, roll down and ollie up the other.
Slick Disk (Shop)
Pick up the new Ghostface CD and a blank deck at the same time. Be sure to pick up Riding Wood to Shong Hey for a video I made! (even though it sucks)
West Road Guitar Shop(?)
A big two stair, as far as two stairs go, it's the size of a four stair. You can skate the bottom of the stair as a ledge. That's it for there.
Elizabeth Park
There's a skatepark thats not good, a few big 3 stairs that are lit up at night, and some ledges and fun hills. Never get kicked out here.
DT Trenton 6 Stair
It's on the opposite side of elizabeth park, a 6 set going into a suburban street. Never get kicked out. Also theres a rail on the left of it, bs for regular skaters. It(the rail)'s unskateable though.
That's it for Trenton, some mellow spots.
Southgate
Southgate Motors
I've never skated here, I just know it exists. A double sided ledge that Freeland skated before (that line with the tre flip, land one foot, shove to bigspin front board on the ledge)
Cheapskates (Shop)
The kind of shop that sells Heelys.
Davidson Elementary
A long two stair thats fun, a few four-stairs with rails. A few short ledges. Good line spot.
Anime To Skateboards (Shop)
Don't go.
National City
A 5, a 6, and a seven. Some short tables.
Riverview!
Riverview Library & Young Patriots park
A 5 stair and a fun weird gap.
Appartments gap
A parking lot to sidewalk gap.
Wyandotte! Used to be my favorite city to skate.
Wyandotte Yacht Club
Theres a few two stairs, you can use em as manual pads.
Wyandotte Skatepark
Don't go.
Roosevelt High
A long two stair that's actually a challenge to skate, two curved downhill ledges, a 5 flat four that you can skate in a trick-land-trick fashion, a big three stair thats as high as the four with a 3 ledge off one side. In the back theres a loading dock. Out front in the parking lot, theres a downhill manual pad that's insanely fun. There's a 3 stair on the side as well as a 4 stair. Theres also a 7 stair off the bleachers.
Behind Roosevelt
Is a train-depot-thing, a big loading dock basically.
Accross from Roosevelt
A decent uphill ledge. Fun, not hammertime.
Abandoned Strip Mall
A uphill or downhill manual pad, pretty fun spot.
Across from the Strip Mall
A sidewalk gap type thing, it's pretty fun.
Clocktower Ledges
A manual pad, a curb comming off of a curb (hard to explain), a flat gap, and a knee high ledge.
There's TONS more shit in Wyandotte, just drive down Biddle and look left or right.
New Boston
Willow Metropark
My favorite skatepark, good mini, good pyramid, good ledges, good banks and quarters and a moveable jersey barrier. A four stair. A decent stage that you can do shit over a trash can, a curved ledge (Like an O), and some sick hills. Theres a few manual pads and weird ledges to skate there as well.
Taylor is just too big to do.
Basically, this is a fun place if you're not too good (like me), or are just down for some weird, fun, creative shit.
