Blacksburg has a fun bowl and Virginia Tech campus has a ton of spots. If you go after 5pm, campus is usually pretty empty. I haven’t been in forever, but these were the spots we used to go on campus:
-Courtyard in front of Cowgill Hall (behind Burruss Hall) has a bunch of ledges, manny pads, and smaller stair sets
-There’s a tall curb that goes down a 4 stair (maybe 5?) behind Patton Hall
-Long 6 stair in front of Dietrick Hall
-Hill bomb starting in front of Engel Hall down W Campus dr
-Courtyard between Vawter, Newman, and Barringer Hall. If I remember correctly there was a good hubba right between Vawter and Newman
You will likely pass Charlottesville on your trip. Charlottesville has (in my opinion) the best skatepark in VA. It’s also a college town, so there’s probably a ton of good spots on their campus too.
I never skated street in the DC area, but if you can skate transition, check out Green Skate Lab (DIY). There’s also the new park in Shaw that’s pretty close
Richmond has a newer skatepark, search for Southside Community Center Skate Park.
VB has the new Woodstock skatepark and Williams Farm. Trashmore sucks now that they rebuilt it, the vert ramp is the only thing worth going for now. Northside skatepark in Norfolk has a pretty big street plaza section too.
I grew up around Roanoke and there’s some great spots - if you like concrete parks, the one in Bedford (30 mins east of Roanoke on 460) is one of the best on the east coast.
Roanoke has some solid street spots, downtown is fun for cruising around and the schools have some solid stairs / ledges / etc.
Do you remember when the Poff federal building had that flat handrail out front? I was never good enough to hit it, but saw a few people hit it over the years
