About the project
Who could know better where the (secret) spots are located than skateboarders?
No man alive could. So skateboarders are the best source of information – skateboardspot.info offers them a platform to share their knowledge. You know a great skatespot and want other to share your knowledge with other skateboarders? Then skateboardspot.info is the right place for you. The spotguide is an open guide for skatespots where every skateboarder is welcome to contribute. New spotguide entries can be easily added and making changes to already existing entries is also possible with just a few clicks.
Does this open system work? Hopefully it does. And if your find something wrong or missing in an article do not complain, but act. You can change it. It’s up to you. Together we can make skateboardspot.info the best skateboard spotguide in the world.

Website operator
"The internet connects skateboarders from everywhere, no matter if they’re from the states or rippin the streets of Hong Kong at a daily base. Traveling to foreign countries to skate new spots is something almost every skateboarder loves to do. But when I joined the internet there wasn’t yet a platform that offered a combination of both things. Therefor I created a website that makes use of the worldwide community of skateboarders to create the world’s largest spotguide – online via the internet. So that no matter where you go, you’ll always know which spots you can find and skate there."
