Despite having only been to Detroit once — in February, amidst a government shutdown, at that — we really enjoy all the skateboarding that comes out of Detroit.
The city strikes a balance between the big midwestern city videos out of Minneapolis or Chicago, and the crustier forays from the Grains, St. Losers, etc. thinktanks. So while the Detroitians really love that perfect black marble manny pad, they’ll also skate a half-collapsed garage door like a bank, back 180 a wooden bump to bar with a literally four-foot runway, and merge into highway traffic after a switch frontside flip.
