// SKATEMAP / EVERY SPOT, EVERY CITY

Find the spot.
Skate the spot.

A free, community-built map of every skate spot, DIY, and shop worth knowing.

// FREE FOREVER · COMMUNITY OWNED · NO ADS

// MANIFESTO

Skaters built this. Skaters keep it.

The maps that exist now go stale. Spots get knobbed and nobody updates the pin. Shops close and the listing lingers. DIYs get torn down before anyone wrote them down. We’re building the opposite of that: a map that the people who actually skate keep current, because they live there.

Every spot is a place someone stood and pushed off. Treat the map that way.

No ads. No selling your location. No gatekeeping. No corporate polish that scrubs the texture off skating to look good in a deck. The hard parts of the culture — the DIY scenes, the shop corners, the legendary spots, the kids learning — all get equal weight here.

We pay for the servers with donations and a few opt-in features that don’t touch the free product. If we ever get acquired by a brand that wants to monetize the skaters who built this, the community keeps a copy and we walk. That promise is the only one that matters.

// HOW IT WORKS

Three moves.

  1. 1 /

    Find it

    The map and search show every spot, park, and shop near you and everywhere you might travel. Filters for terrain, skill level, accessibility, surface, and who built it.

  2. 2 /

    Skate it

    Real condition reports from real skaters. Trust scores built from the community vouching for each other. The pin is fresh because somebody was just there.

  3. 3 /

    Share it

    Submit spots that aren’t on the map yet. Post clips, link sessions, donate to the DIYs you actually skate. Add what the next skater will need.

// FREE FOREVER

The free part is the point.

We pay for the servers with donations and a handful of opt-in extras that sit outside the free product. Shops can pay to verify their listing. Brands can sponsor a clip series. Skaters who want extra features can chip in. None of that gates the map, the search, the submissions, the clips, or the social tools.

We don’t run ads. We don’t sell your location, your email, or your search history. We don’t take a cut of the marketplace. If the day ever comes when keeping the lights on means breaking that, we’ll tell you, and we’ll let the community fork the project before we cross that line.

// EARLY ACCESS

Get on the next cohort.

We invite skaters in cohorts so the early signal stays high. Drop your email and we’ll line you up when there’s room. No waitlist score, no referral loop — just an honest list.

// FAQ

The skeptical questions.

// Q · 01

Is it really free?

Yes. The map, the submissions, the clips, the sessions, the marketplace, the search — every part skaters touch is free and stays free. Servers are paid for through donations and a few opt-in extras that sit outside the free product.

// Q · 02

Do you sell my data?

No. We don’t run ads. We don’t share or sell your location, your email, your search history, or your friend list. Privacy defaults sit at the most restrictive setting and you opt in to anything looser. The full policy is in the privacy doc linked in the footer.

// Q · 03

How do you make money?

Donations, verified shop subscriptions, opt-in brand partnerships, and a few non-core features that skaters can pay to unlock. Nothing that gates the map. If a revenue lane ever conflicts with the free promise, we kill the lane.

// Q · 04

How do you keep bad actors out?

Every spot has a trust score that the community builds. Reports route to local moderators. Verification flows separate first-time submissions from established skaters. Repeat bad actors lose the ability to post. It’s not perfect, but it’s the community, not us, that does most of the policing.

// Q · 05

Can I help?

Yes, in three ways. Join the beta to give early feedback. Submit spots that aren’t on the map yet. Donate to a DIY park you skate — every cent goes to the people building it. If you run a shop, you can claim and verify your listing.
