<p>I know most colleges do not allow skateboarders to do tricks, but does UMich at least allow me to ride a skateboard around campus? Or would it be better for me to get a longboard? thanks for responding!</p>
<p>On campus, rollerblading is allowed but skateboarding is not allowed. [Introduction:</a> Alternative Transportation](<a href=“http://pts.umich.edu/alternative_transportation/]Introduction:”>http://pts.umich.edu/alternative_transportation/)</p>
<p>There are also restrictions on the city sidewalks.</p>
<p>On campus, SO many people ride boards (pretty much strictly longboards) between classes. It seems to be only slightly less popular than biking. I think you should invest in the longboard.</p>
<p>Tons of people longboard here. But its useless during the winter.</p>
<p>We were just in Ann Arbor this weekend…saw lots of boarders in downtown Ann Arbor…from a visitor viewpoint, some were downright rude and about ran us over. But we saw lots of boarders all over campus.</p>
<p>hey res ipa, i think performing tricks are not allowed. i googled ann arbor’s skateboarding history and it appears that skateboarders have caused huge amounts of property damage in the past, and therefore skateboarding was ultimately banned. </p>
<p>it does appear that longboarding seems to be the safest choice. thanks for all the answers and insights!</p>
