Sup guys, so we are shooting for our movie and are looking for any help of locations/photos/ideas of urban in Michigan...We are out of Grand Rapids but can travel anywhere we can hit up a few dope ass features. We are looking for rails, gaps, wall rides, bomb drops, anything really unique to jib....We have a drop in, bungee, winch so really no issue about getting speed for them.

If you have any for us we much appreciate it. If you hook us up we'll hook you up, at least with a free copy and pack from out sponsors when the movie comes out. Hope that is somewhat of an incentive to help some local filmers out.

Thanks
+k for bumps and help as well

Look up Hillsdale Michigan, my aunt lives there. As you might have guessed from the title, the town is all hills. There are too many handrails to count. You could easily find a few features there.
One specific feature is a several kinked handrail going from the upper to lower field in the athletic complex at the university. The in run is perfect and open.

thanks guys, thinking Hillsdale would be a dope trip if we can find the time to make it down there...about 3 hrs not too bad. Anyone know of anything along the lake shore? Grand Haven, Muskegon, Holland, South Haven??? We usually hit up on weekends and would love to knock out a couple spots a day....

Find one of those wooden sets in front of a summer house that lead down to the beach. South of GH by Rosy Mound there are rows and rows of houses with completely rediculous combinations of railings.  I have always thought of how completely rediculous it would be to hit one.  You asked for crazy and unique...

Petoskey, MI

Bear River Pathway,  there is 3 separate handrails, all single rail, one has at least 5 kinks, the others 3-4.   VERY much the perfect setup.  You can drive right to them.
