The first few pages of the April 2008 issue of The Skateboard Mag is peppered with Midwest skateboarders and spots, and as a lifelong Midwesterner, it's my self-appointed job to make everyone aware of it.
First, the Contents section has a photo of Chicago's Steve Fauser doing a back disaster on a riverside ditch spot in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Next is Marius Syvanen nosebluntsliding a spot at the University of Minnesota that has been showing up a lot in videos (mostly local) over the past few years. Photo appears in the Initial Remarks section.

Finally, two of the the skaters, spots and photographers in the Exposed section of the magazine are Midwestern. Sam McGuire has brief but really cool "four seasons" piece with Iowa City's Peter Madsen that really captures what it's like being a skateboarder in the Upper Midwest...
...and Andrew Hutchison has a brief piece about rolling around with Seth McCallum and his vegetable oil-fueled truck, which also doubled as a skate spot.
