If any of you know who Michael Tubbs is you know that he is an amazing skateboarder. About a week ago Michael sustained a terrible head injury. He nearly died after hitting his head while bombing a hill. He was quickly taken into the hospital and given emergency brain surgery. He has been in the ICU for the past week, and is showing great signs of recovery. The cost of his numerous treatments is, to put it simply, overwhelming. His friends and family have set up this
website. To help raise support for the medical bills. Any donations are appreciated.
21 Jun 2007

Welcome to the all new downtown website. There is a lot of new content, and a whole new layout that was designed to be more practical than the latter layouts. We have been working hard on getting this all done, and we appreciate your patience in the process. The 'skate' page is where all of the videos, photos, and team stuff will be. There will also be a skate blog, which is basically just a section to talk about what is going on with skateboarding in Traverse City, and other parts of Michigan. The 'store' page will contain all of the information that you need to know about the shop. This section will be where we make all of the product and general news updates. The 'friends' page is where you will find links to all sorts of sites from around Michigan. I hope you guys enjoy some of the new stuff, and check back tonight for some more video additions.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to email us at info@downtownskatemi.com.
Things are looking good for the summer, get hyped!
09 Jun 2006
We have a lot to report on.
First off, we just got in a bunch of shoes from Nike. We got the Dunk low Neptunes, the all-new Regime, and a few other top-secret shoes.
There is also a whole new format to this layout. There won't really be much skateboard related news in this news section... all of that stuff will be found on the 'skate' page.
