San Francisco has some great skating by the bay, but now you can do the subway. Play chicken with a train while attempting the world's scariest rail slide down the B.U.R.T. tracks.
Burnside
This place is one monster chunk of concrete with bowls, ramps, rails and pipes all molded together to make boarding heaven. Get big air to find what's not obvious.

Thrash from the high rise rooftops to the parking garages below. There are lots in between, so don't miss the monster gaps and heart stopping rails on the way to the ground.
PlayStation Park, London
Bonk off junked cars, and nail some of the sickest rails in the circuit. Be careful not to destroy some of the ramps because they're the only roads to some great grinding.
Detroit
A gigantic drainage system works double duty as an awesome half-pipe and the rail rides here are endless. Hit the right switch and even more cool rides are waiting.

160 Respect points lands you at Huntington Beach and the Vans Triple Crown of Skateboarding.
