Home to an endless array of ledges and Midwestern crust, the city has been made skatable by a community of dedicated, resourceful locals, who have reshaped its terrain with Quikcrete and Bondo – breathing new life into what was previously broken, overgrown, and unaccommodating to the hard urethane of a skate wheel.
Taking to the streets were US riders Max Palmer, Enzo Kurmaskie, Brett Weinstein, and Treveon Wade, plus Canadian riders Dwayne Anderson, Terrence Fante, and Ben St. Aubin, who spent a week in Detroit and nearby Flint, skating local spots while wearing the Fall/Winter 2025 collection.
