If you have been searching for a place to grind a 5-foot rail or gap a flight of stairs, you are in luck. Flagstaff has some great places to skate and longboard all around the city. Some are in plain view and others are hidden. If you are looking for some places to check out, but are having a hard time finding them on your own, here a few good spots to start:

SKATING
Level – Easy
Downtown, the bank on Birch Avenue: This is a fun place just to mess around and pass the time.
Level – Intermediate
The elementary school over near 4th Street, on Lockett Road: If you take skating seriously and enjoy a challenge, this place is for you. You can find handrails, stairs and ledges.
Level- Hard
On campus at the Health and Learning Center: Do not plan on staying awhile, but this spot is a lot of fun. You can find gaps, ledges and benches. LONGBOARDING
Level – Easy
Going along Cedar until it turns into Forest Avenue. On Cedar you can get one of the best views of the peaks. Certain spots run downhill and can become very fast, very quickly. The run can be fairly easy — just be aware of your speed.
Level – Intermediate
Along Continental Drive that turns into Country Club Drive: lots of windy hills. A very fun and beautiful location in Flagstaff, it is challenging and requires a lot of energy but the end result can be very rewarding.
