Smooth blacktop approach and landing. A decent size, in the 10-12 stair realm. Right there on Aurelius, you will see the beautiful baby blue beast parked in the upper lot. Its a beauville, i think. or whatever the conversion edition of that van was… Unaware of ABD’s on this, i know i havnt done shit on it. *Heres the link to map* oh yeah Sabu from wrestling lives on this street.

all of the many stairways leading up to ottawa plaza have had new handrails put in or are in the process of. on all four sides of ottawa plaza (an elevated office plaza boxed in by pine st, allegan, ottawa, and walnut). theyre new, round and burly. new run ups and landings too. theres a ton of em and up in the plaza, theres still about a hundred plastic picnic tables and benches up there. *skate it after 5pm or weekends.*

rite downtown Lansing. heres the googlemaps of it.

Little manny patch on MSU campus with a ton of ABD’s: Zigman ollied over it, big Zack Tuck KF manny’d it, Lee Beans nose manualed it the hard way, Matt Brooks powerslid it. percise coordinates on this one escape me, on one of those rabbit trail oriented streets, along the red cedar river. other shit to skate near this, but not worth the hassle in my opinion. depends how private you like your sessions. no map, sorry. my memorys failed me. ha mammaries failed me

Hers a bump to bar on the corner of Grand ave. and Dickstump street, at the Unsolved Murder/ transfer station. I found this photo on the infonet, and i’m using it. Dustin Crawforth if you have an issue with that, check your behady mob credentials. Or check mine. … If not, thank you Mr. Cranford for the pic, AJW looks good as ever, and i’m sure this was a make. Heres the map, folks.

Another Lansing spot got its ticket punched, RIP doo doo bars aka dooky rails. Though painted several different colors through out the ages, sliding these fat flatbars always resulted in big, brown shit stains on your skateboard. The storefront has held a barber shop, a karate school, a tattoo shop, and largely sat empty, but it was on the watch of the current Weed Store tenants when these skidmarkers got yanked. (stolen by scrap metal fiends? relocated by skaters? or damned because people too high kept opening the door to leave Weed’s Emporium, and then stumbled repeatedly over these knee height fatsos? We may never know.) ..You will be missed, See ya when i get there, buddy…

Its a nine or a ten stair on Lansing’s Eastside, *heres the map*. Its right at the curve on eureka. Eureka street was a real popular little stretch for the workin gals, someone’s solution was to cut the street in half so johns couldnt cruise it in one shot. Prostitution solved!

On the sexual assault jogging path under Clemens st., park at Ralph F. Crego Toxic Waste Site/ City Park if youre driving. (bring all valuables with you if parked, or leave windows down. swamp infested with toxic bumfolk who love busting car windows). Its tall, its wood, but it slides good and those fortunate to have newer trucks have gotten this thing to grind. A bank backside for regular footers in the run up for line options. *this spot on the google map*

We got Lansing Aaron popping into a feeble from half cab board maybe? Those texas boys talk it a little different. A great skate photo by Tom “dont ask about my scarf” Wright. * Lansing D.I.Y. spots featured on this list will NOT be accompanied by a map. Go build your own, easier and way cheaper than you think.*

Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:34:00 -0500

These steep blacktop banks are about 100’ long and go from a speedbump size lump to small kicker to progressing to a 3’ tall radially transitioned near-QP with a planter on top at the big end. Parking blocks to stack and slide, there are also some brick humps and two mirror image inside corners here to pump around to get speed for nowhere. …downtown lansing. NW corner of Shiawasse and Seymour. *map to spot*

Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:31:00 -0500

Right downtown (washtenaw and townsend) near a ton of other street spots. Theres some brick banks at this spot also, we always just ollied up the tiny gap at the bottom, the new dudes are getting fancy with a sign, heres the map*

Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:51:24 -0500

This ledge shares a parking lot with the more popular brown LSJ ledges (1st spot featured on this list). this one starts off about as tall as those, but slants down to real low, and has an end on it. *Heres the map*….. a decent winter spot, this lot is plowed constantly. (lots of salty stoprocks in the winter tho, but you have 58’s on your street rig anyways so you will be ok. or pushbroom yourself a little path dummy)

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 11:33:00 -0500

I cant remember exactly where this is, MSU. back in there somewhere. …. 75 spots was a strain, but there you have it, Lansing park-baby skateboarders who say “Lansing has no street spots” but are really saying “I have a vagina ache, think I’ll just skate ranney park til it gets better.”

This is turning into an Anthony J. Williams fan blog? Heres ten to jump off. Near other shit. This is the link to a map.

this gap is in a subdivision that used to be a little swampy area between neighborhoods on the Eastside. One night i got lost/trapped/weeping episode in there alone while tripping on shrooms. now its houses. anthony J. williams switch ollied it. the end.

*hurrs the map*

Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:06:00 -0400

Had to mine some more street spots out of AJW’s “BEHADY3” part. This MSU campus ledge lets you on easy but you gottta gap out over a little sidewalk chunk and curb into the boo boo street. Put on your big boy chonies. and bring wax, it can get a little chalky. MSU campus so plan on some hassles: (parking, ledge savior vigilantes, “bro!”s, cops,)…. *Heres the link to the map*

…Speaking of Cengiz, look! He used his art eye to see this cool manny pad at a spot where you (me) only ever saw the rail…

Sat, 20 Oct 2012 09:00:00 -0400

So grand ledge isn’t Lansing, but theyre 15 minutes west down North grand river ave, and theres a few spots worth the trip. This rail AJW boardslid might be worth it for you, and theres some new ledges of the “recently thought extinct” variety too. When i first saw these, I told a friend who is from grand ledge about the hot new shit right in his backyard and he told me “I dont skate in my backyard. I skate in your backyard.” So now that I have fished my pond dry with this spot list, expect to see more spots from the outlying areas of greater ‘Sing City. … (I cant personally report on the Bust factor of this spot, but imagine its a bitch. Like pick ups of Gary the cable guys pulling over to wrap you up in american flags until the sherriff arrives. who knows, roll the dice) ****Heres the map****
