MILFORD, MI -- The greatest skateboarder of all time wants to skate in Michigan and soon.

In a video posted to the Project-S skate park Facebook page, Tony Hawk gave a shout out to the park and expressed his desire to skate at the proposed park. He went on to say that he feels skate parks are an important part of a community.

"In my formative years, the skate park was my salvation and it's what made me who I am today," Hawk said in the video. "I had a place to go, I had a place with like-minded people for all of us to convene and share ideas and feel like someone was supporting us."

Tony Hawk + Milford = RadTown3000™ TONY HAWK JUST GAVE OUR MILFORD SKATEPARK PROJECT A SHOUT OUT. AND A LITTLE SURPRISE AT THE END. When our little town's skate park project gets Tony Hawk's attention, call us crazy, but our project might be something nearby businesses might want to look into supporting. After all, wouldn't be a bad thing for all of us when he comes to skate our new park when it's complete this coming Summer. Did Michael Jordan swing by to shoot some hoops when we put in the basketball court? Nope. Let's do this, folks.

The Project-S skate park is trying to raise $220,000 for the development of the park in the Village of Milford. The goal is to have a groundbreaking in the spring of 2017 according to the park's crowdfunding site.

Milford is approximately 40 miles northwest of Detroit.

The developers are not seeking any public funds for the park's development and seeks to use only funds raised through donations. So far the group has raised just $2,400.

"Please support the project," Hawk said. "I hope get to skate it someday."

The video continues Hawk's recent involvement in Michigan. Last month, Hawk purchased a house in Detroit. While Hawk isn't moving into the home, he and his wife - a Michigan native - wanted to put some money into the community to show their support.
