OoO I see. Well I'm just a little east of Romeo. I was just passing by Flint to go to the Bay City Park a couple of days ago!

OHHH THAT PARK SUCKS SO FUCKING HARD!!!  It's lit up, which is nice, but the kids there piss me off so much it ruins the whole experience, haha.  The set up isn't bad, lots of lines to be found there, but have you ever checked out Mason or Charlotte?  They're right around Lansing, like maybe 15 miles away...(Lansing park sucks, too in my opinion).  Mason is my favorite bowl in the state...real smooth with two ten foot or so walls, a little street course that leads right into a bank that rolls you into a nice pocket.  Lots of mongo skaters for some reason, but it's the best make around.

I haven't been to them but I'm going to driving quite a bit this summer to experience all that Michigan has to offer. Especially since the new Farmington park is going to be done any second now!

Flint's not too far from there.  Our park is small, but not bad.  Everything's covered with skatelite, which is really nice.  No drain, though, so it's kinda dusty.  Yeah, I just checked out the layout for that park a few days ago.  It looks like it's going to be fucking huge.  Isn't there like two or three different bowls along with some crazy street course?

Yes indeed, it's pretty rad when you can look at a park layout and have an arrow point to "jersey barrier". It's going to be sick.

why the hell do midwestern towns insist on building wood parks?

do they just forget about what winter does to wood?

Do they care?

dude, it should come right back after a little practice... i used to skate alot from age 12-18 and now i'm a 27 year old mom.. the other day i took my 4 year old son to buy him a bike and they had those mini birdhouse boards and i said "hmm, i wonder if i can still ollie" so i tried and i did... then i said "wonder if i can still shov-it" and i tried a couple times, but i did.. lastly, i tried to kickflip (which i rarely ever landed before) and i was still about the same as i was then.. can flip it perfect, but always fall off when i'm about to land it!!! well, at least the little boy was impressed

i had to quit for the longest time.

so i started training underground. inviting as many kids as i could to my "private skatepark"
even had "private training sessions"
they never found o'l georgie.....................................for 3 months.
i was trying to make jerky, and my "house" caught on "fire"....

I just checked out the layout is all. Is the farmington park going to be made of wood?  There's a shit ton of cement parks in Mi alone, I honestly can't really think of any wood ones right off hand that aren't indoors.  The Flint park is wood, but it's all skatelited over and that shit's resilient as hell, so winter doesn't fuck up too much except for a little rust on the coping that can be sand papered off.

Farmington park is going to be allllll crete baby. Opens at the end of this month.

And some legit wood outdoor parks are Birmingham at 15 and a half mile and woodward, auburn hills park at hall road and squirrel road (they have nice rails, a bench and a picnic table and even a long but thick handrail). Both really good wood parks on the north east side of Detroit.

Do you know where that snowman bowl is?  It's somewhere around Detroit, but I can't remember exactly where.

What's the rest of the shit like at the Birmingham place?  Is that the one with that real long 5 ft or so mini with the spine in it?

Huntington woods bowl at 11 and coolidge. One of my favorites. Their little street course if perfect for trying shit for the first time.

Birmingham has a long 5 foot mini but not with a spine in it. There is a really long hubba connected to it though.

It has all super nice aluminum coping and square angle iron. There's a nice curved box and bank to wall as well. There's a spine in there that's connected to a pump bump. I'll take nice pics or maybe get footy if I go with the right people.
