Detroit Area URBAN- HELP

Hey guys, looking to make a solid week long urban trip to the east side of the state. The detroit area is pretty insane and has never been tapped for new age urban. We are looking for some help scouting out rails, wall rides, drops, ledges, tranny, gaps, anything that would be sick.

We have a couple banshee bungees, a grinch winch and everything we need to hit almost anything. Not looking for the basic down rail, but kink rails, and other insane stuff for our next movie.

If anyone really wants to help out a local company trying to make a Michigan Based movie please forward any pictures to my email.

Justinvanmelle@hotmail.com

thanks! your help will be rewarded if you really help us out!

sick, got some features sent over already and they look sick. I just really wanna focus on michigan and how unfortunate some places can be, but that they also create opportunities and that you always have to look on the bright side of things...

Lemme know what you find

It just kind of depends I mean you really find a lot of insane stuff we will def owe you, but we do have some spots that are higher bust and really sick so its a one shot opportunity and if someone else gets kicked out before us then we are screwed. We do have a lot of spots already hit that I wouldnt mind sharing

That school is pontiac central. Danny Davis (snowboarder...) used to hit it up. There are quite a few solid ledges and gaps near the ambassador bridge, but I unfortunately have no specific info
