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.
I'm living in a little city in the center of france, where everything is historical so my spots makes me feel the same way that the ungrindables in port carverton...

When I was 14 there was ONE skatepark in my entire state. The one time I got to go, on my 14th birthday actually, I broke my collarbone.
Not trying to tell you your park is better than you say it is, but appreciate that you have it. 15 years ago (several thousand miles away) the kid 2 miles (3.2km) away with a manny pad WAS the skatepark in the majority of places.
Keep it rolling, man. Empathy to your situation and all, but when you're frustrated there, remind yourself it could be worse.
yea that sucks don, howd you break it?
