Skateboarding Shuts Down: Detroit Becomes the New Hip Spot
Detroit has houses for a nickel and so much abandoned and uncared for land that you can build entire DIY skateparks in your neighborhood with just a crew of dedicated homies. Detroit doesn't even need a skateboarding shutdown for them to become the next destination skateboard spot. They've got the dedicated homies part covered with their <a href="http://www.assembledetroit.com/">Assemble Detroit project</a>, Danny Brown repping their town, and a strong skateboarding community doing things like <a href="http://www.crowdrise.com/rideitphase2/fundraiser/powerhouseproduction/1/return/success/success">Ride It Sculpture Skate Park</a>. While it's a skateboard shutdown everywhere else, it's looking like a skateboard startup in Detroit no matter what. Pay attention to them in 2014. It's going to be good.
