Wow, sucks man. I've got a park like 5 mins from me where I skate pretty much every day, and then like another 20 or so nice parks within an hours drive.
Heres my park

The skate scene is dead around here. I haven't tried seriously skating in years, because I could never bring myself to do it by myself, especially when the only thing around is flat concrete. (I know for a lot of people, and particularly your style there's still a lot you can do there, but it was never what I was interested in). So now I'm just another kid on a virtual skateboarding forum who's followed the sport for years without really being able to do it.
I do hillbomb though, ever since I got to college this campus is covered in hills

Just sounds like a lack of motivation. Skating alone is great. No kids to avoid, no one else in the way.. So take a trip to a park if thats what you want to do. Flatground is a good starting point though. Flat, drops, banks, ramps, bowls. Thats the order I did it in anyway. Not the best vert skater but those other things helped when I was trying vert. It helped me and my friends expand when you dont have much you gotta think optimistic, get creative. Youll have just as much fun.
my skatepark has a spine, a quarter funbox and a quarter. not even a flatbar

Are you guys really that restricted with your street spots? Ive occupied dozens of apartments in several different suburbs around ohio but I always found something to skate. Shit.. in my time skating.. Ive attempted a few handrails, crook grinded the inside of a chest high double rail deal, no pop and grab variations down a 6 set, slappy grinds on construction pipes still bundled up, rode various jank plywood setups, found and landed a couple gaps.. it was endless. Sidewalk to drops were manny pads, street lamps were roll up caveman material.. skate the local school, the stores stairsets, we got kicked out obviously but went back to those places every day. I still hit some of that stuff up when I pass through. I guess I was a bit more ballsy starting out but now I live next to heavy traffic four lane roads with minimal cross walks but I still have stuff to skate man.
