How to find spots, save them, and start submitting your own clips.

// WHAT THIS IS

SkateMaps is a community map of skate spots, DIY parks, and shops. The map is the home surface. Every other feature hangs off it.

// FIND A SPOT

Open the map. Pan to where you are or where you want to go. The pins are real spots that other skaters have logged and verified. Tap a pin for the detail page — photos, clips, surface notes, recent activity, and whether the spot is still skateable.

Use the filters above the map to narrow by spot type (street, park, DIY, transition), surface, skill level, or what's accessible. The filters are sticky — they carry across navigations until you clear them.

// SAVE A SPOT

Hit the bookmark on any spot detail page. Saved spots show up under /me so you can find them again without scrolling the map. Make a list if you're planning a trip.

// SUBMIT A CLIP

Sign in, open a spot, and tap the clip-upload control. Pick a video from your camera roll, write a short caption, and post. The clip attaches to the spot and shows up in the feed.

Clips have a 15-second cap. We're a map first; if you want long-form, post a link to the full edit in the spot description instead.

// ASK FOR HELP

If something is broken or unclear, use the report flow on any page (three-dot menu) or reach out via the channels listed in /help/account-and-privacy. We read everything.
