i live in alabama and the spots here are pretty dissapointing, except for one ditch behind my friends house which is a pretty awesome spot. but before i moved here i lived in california where the spots were amazing and nobody cared if you skated in the parking lot or skated the sets in front of their stores. so if anyone on here actually lives here please let me know were the spots are.

philly is really the only place thats good around where i live. but thats still a 30 min drive most the places around my house are beeeeat

Well, you can't really base spots on your state. You got to base it on the cities. I am sure Montgomery, Birmingham, or other big cities got to have some nice spots in Alabama.

Here in my hometown there are a few nice spots. Most of which are at the schools.

Spots lol?

My tiny town has some parking lots if you can get away with skating there more than 10 minutes. Other than that, it's the highway/road. There is a small skatepark in the next county over though.

good but you get kicked away frequently but most of them are amazing

I live in the middle of nowhere, and its surrounded by cornfields so there arent really any spots, but just a skatepark, and that gets old after a while.

theres some pretty good stuff where i live, but i don't tend to go to any of the good spots, because i usually can't get there....

Spots lol?

Skate spots.... >______>

The twin cities and surrounding suburbs are filled with spots. You get kicked out so quick on weekdays, unless it's later in the day, but on Sundays... All day baby. I'm stoked to live up here.

i got a few good ledges, gaps, sets around where i live

but they get old fast, and so does the ****ty skatepark....

The good stuff is few and far between. What we can skate can only be skated on the weekend (and even then we usually get kicked out), not to mention there is something terriblyy sketchy with every single spot.

My spots are not great. All the surfaces round here are far to rough for decent freestyle, and it makes riding on hard wheels interesting:icon_biggeven the skatepark is like that... I think I'm gonna start a petition to have it resurfaced... I could get maybe 15 names...

my place isnt that cool
all there is, is a three,four,five,eight, and 20 stair with all rough terrain except for the 20 stair
but i think the best part is the ledges are like always waxy for some reason

ya the bests spots were i live are usually down in the middle of the ghetto, but its worth it because it always makes for an amazing sesh, but you get kicked out of everywhere down there, except theres an 8 stair behind this tattoo/bong shop down there and nobody cares if you skate it.

we have only good stairs over here...but in Tel Aviv there are GREAT spots! and 2 parks!

here they are great. I cant remember who it was that said in a skate video that barcelona looked like it was built for skating.. well they were right

it has loads of places, some more well known and others more hidden but you cant run out of spots

the only problem is the people that arent skating and are there or passing by.

We have a flatland area and a 4 stair under a roof, an all right skatepark, and...most dissapointing...a BEAUTIFUL garage with a curved bank, 5 mins from my house. I figured out it was there a week ago, skated it once on a friday afternoon, and it's being closed again today, and I couldn't skate it because of exams... It was unimaginable, such a nice spot so close to my house... I started praying to god... And now it's getting closed.

Oh and we also have a small two stair... Not such a great spot though...

spots where i live are pretty good... some ar a lil farther away than others..

if you wish to see, click the link to a video in my sig.

and if you wish, let me know what you think

I've got pretty much everything here in Hemet California but you get fined for going in the schools now. Good thing for me there is a city right next to this one and you can skate the highschool on saturday all day its great

i have to go to salisbury or drive 2 hours to skate baltimore.

they blow

Close to my house, they suck. There are some pretty sick ones i know of in other cities, but theres like a plethra of cops :mad:

What spots? Haha.

Well they suck, I mean some are okay but you get kicked out left and right.

chula vista has some sick gaps if you can find them and theres basicly stair sets everywhere.

SHATTY.




Theres a loading dock thats .. 2 1/2 feet high, an underground parking lot with some meh ledges, a nice 5, a nice 3 but HUGE cracks on runup, same with another 3 and a 4.

the spots around here are usually sketchy, but there are a couple of nice spots. there are 2 really nice and clean 8-sets, and a nice 10 set with a handrail.

my place is HORRIBLE for skating, we got wood ramps, and the bikers steal em..

Well most of it is alright like we have:
Tons of sets of stairs
Good gaps if you find them
Smooth ground almost every were

Gah..the school that was literally behind my backyard had a sick stair spot..it was really good.

But last year the put a fence right before the stairs..it doesnt even make sense. Its like they put it there so I couldn't try to ollie over them or go own them.. =|
Other than that and another school, my area isn't too great. =P

Texas is the landed of ditches lol



we got some gaps but the ditches are great

Skate spots.... >______>


Yeah I know what spots are. In fact in Norway we call them "spots" as well. With a very Norwegian accent that is.

What I mean is that I have no spots here.

I've got no good area. They aren't any skate parks in Shanghai (at least not that I know of) and skating on the road is more dangerous than you think cuz the drivers in Shanghai go like 200mph. The area in front of my house is all bumpy but it's the only place I can skate on. Without being knocked down.

there's a few okay schools but they're usually a bust if you go with more than 4 people.
a few ledges but the bmxers have wrecked 'em.
and a few pads but the ground isn't always the smoothest
average i'd say.

We used to have an amazing spot, almost like a skate plaza, but recently it has become a bust.

There's: Big 3 & Big 4, Big walls to ollie off, an 8 stair, 3 stair, 6 stair, a bank, and some skatestopped ledges that are still skatable. Theres ledges, and hubba's & 'round the corned theres bollards to ollie over, and further up theres a 7, and a few 4 stairs.

It's impossible to skate for more than 10 minutes nowadays, and then the police come and everything...


here they are great. I cant remember who it was that said in a skate video that barcelona looked like it was built for skating.. well they were right

it has loads of places, some more well known and others more hidden but you cant run out of spots

the only problem is the people that arent skating and are there or passing by.

Honestly, that guy was 100% right!
Look at Fondo, it's a complete bust, but the architect who designed it couldn't have possibly not thought about skatebaording...

Paral-lel kicks ass too!

We have pretty good spots, but you get kicked out before you can do them or there's something wrong with it to mess you up. Like this perfect 4 stair, there's about a 1 inch drop right before it that messes you up. and a perfect gap right next to it, but it has a curb after it and you either have to clear the curb or ollie like on top of it and it will hurt. and i know i cant clear it.

The only dec. spots around here are roof gaps and those are HARD!!!

Horrible, that's why I am so good at flat, teehee.

well i got a park, some ok spots, not many BIG sets, theres a 12, a 7 flat 7, and some crappy 6 flat 7.. umm lets see..other than that theres like..2 sets and 3 sets haha some 4's in the mix.. umm we kinda just find stuff, like there was this weird concrete ledge,to like a 3 foot drop, maybe more like 4-5, and you do a trick over the ledge, catch it NICE, and drop that whole thing, and ride down on perfect pavement :)

theres lots of stuff i just cant remember it unless i go skate ^^

we got pads up the street, but a cop came when i just got there..he didnt say anything, he waved and just parked.

There is absolutely nothing to skate in my neighborhood except curbs. That's why I do freestyle and pretty much anything flatground

Thee are 3 parks around here... one just down the street which is pretty small, and two about 15min drive to Penticton where there are two parks. One new schoolie type, and then one bad-ass old bowler... plenty of cool street terrain down there too... and the weather rules!!

there arent a lot of spots around my town, but there are a few
at this one park there were wooden tables to ollie off of, but they replaced the tables with unskatable tables, so it sucks

the spots in my hometown are like.. crap, argh

but my prayers got answered :)
in a town next to mine, a skate-plaza will open in a few months YEEHAA

http://www.concrete-sportanlagen.de/images/news_duisburg_rendering_1.jpg

all destroyed but i have a box

i live on a dirt road 1 hour away from a small town with no skate spots or skate parks and all i skate every day is my wooden door step and some chipboard laid out on the ground ghetto i think :D

We have some alright ones, enough to keep me skating. :p but then again there not very good but you got to make the most of them.

We have a park... that sucks.
Then we have a few sets from a 2 to an 8... not bad some kinda suck.
And that would be our skate spots. ****, I know.

I retract my previous statement of having almost no spots. Found a good one today and there is a larger skatepark I was told about I am going to tomorrow. :)

I acually need to go find some spots and skate some i've find, saw some pretty sweet isolated ones.

It is currently illegal to skate in my city, but here are some spots we used to be able to skate:


4 foot loading dock
5 foot loading dock
multiple other loading docks ranging from 2-4 feet
Covered 3 stair
Bush gap 5 feet tall 7 feet long
Bush gap 3 feet tall 5 feet long
9 stair
Concrete Bank (Hard to skate though)
Short, but fun concrete banks behind a warehouse
another 3 stair
4 stair
6 stair at church (5 minute walk from my house)
5 stair at another church
2,800 square foot skate park. (It is built on 1 tennis court.). The skatepark consists of 2 quarterpipes, a funbox, 2 rails, a box, and a kicker. The kicker is 5 feet away from the fence, though.


Basically, all that we can skate from all of that now is the skatepark.

We have a park... that sucks.
Then we have a few sets from a 2 to an 8... not bad some kinda suck.
And that would be our skate spots. ****, I know.
Be happy you have anywhere to skate. Some kids don't have any of that.

There are some pretty good spots here and very good spots in cities around here. We also have big ditchs for yo b****es.

Why did they make it illegal?

I live in Los Angeles and the spots are good if you know where to look.

Theres all these big ass military buildings on base with smooth surfaces, hella ledges and lots of benches.. theres one right next to where I live... so I practice down there after work

Well im pretty lucky because i live near DC so there is a lot of places.

Stairs-11-20 set.
Hand rails- Good condition of rails.
Gaps-If you search for them really hard you can find some decent ones.
Drops-So far every drop i have been and really nice.
Ground-Some are smooth, but the side walks and roads are messed up.
Kickers-none.
Manaul pads-long and short pads every were.

theyre pretty good cept its a long walk to every spot, weve got a 4 rail at a building that we can only go to on weekends, weve got this huge gap at a strip mall here be the video http://youtube.com/watch?v=ck0UmHP_FAI&feature=user
then wes got a 6 set behind one of the stores at that strip mall. and theres this spot called showroom, its actually pretty sick, but its on the other side of route 9, so its a pain in the ass to cross

there ok.

3 good loading docks,makeshift rail,bank,a couple parks kinda close,and a few odd spots

I have a rail at home, but theres a couple loading docks and random curbs around. Theres this one outdoor shopping center that is literally my backyard that has perfect ledges and stairs, but theres a butt load of security and police there so it's pretty much impossible to get 5 minutes with a board in there.

northern virginia d00d.
i live in the suburb but spots all over.
i set up my boxes and rail at home too.
D.C. just a metro away.

i live on a dirt road 1 hour away from a small town with no skate spots or skate parks and all i skate every day is my wooden door step and some chipboard laid out on the ground ghetto i think :D

My situation is almost exactly like that, except I also have a blacktop highway near my house to skate on while cars go by at 75mph. I've skated on that thing for four years, until they re-did it and now it's too rough to bother with.

I usually go to a friend's house in town and skate behind shady, abandoned lots with broken beer bottles everywhere and just skate flatland. Oh, there is a national forest park thing a few miles from my house, and I skate at the Marina whenever its closed. That's an awesome place. It has massive hills, two four sets and one six set. It's the best place we have around here, but the downside is if you mess up and your board shoots off, it's probably going into the water.

Alright I guess.Lots of flatland, stair sets, ledges, rails, and lots of police.

Near to my house, pure flatground. Taking 30 minutes in public transport to get good spots.

Ehh, I have managed to find some nice stairs and gaps, and I mean real nice ones, around my house but seeing as I am not at that level yet, I've only tried some stairs.

Most spots are flatland, there are maybe 3 sets and they are 2, 3, and 5 sets. One set is a six but the run up is too small. There are many ledges, many grass gaps, and one loading dock at the post office [which is perfectly legal, if no one is there :) ]. The good thing about my city is that, everything you skate is legal, and the cops can't do anything about it. The Post Office is illegal, but if no one is there, the guy that works there doesn't care. In the city about 10 minutes away from mine, there are tons of sets, and many ledges and gaps.

my house is right next to the highway so all i have is my garage :/ untill i can drive that is. i only get to skate good spots when i go to my friends houses.

it sucks in tampa no good spots unless u go to downtow area

it sucks in tampa no good spots unless u go to downtow area

skatepark of tampa?

and i live in san jose so its amazing

:icon_burn:icon_burn:icon_burn:icon_mad::icon_mad: :icon_mad::(:(:({Pcen){Pcen){Pcen) they took down the best spot in my town....=[[[ NOOOOOOO
some dumb*** pegged a bottle of rocks at a coach bus when he was at the spot...so they demolished it...now its just a bunch of sand...R.I.P Showroom

road. garage. or try not to get caught.

I have to go downtown to get to some good spots for me at least. Some decent stairs and gaps.

Well near my house is a middle school that has a 2 stair and a really long 6. There's also a couple ledges and a manny pad. I have to travel to skateparks and downtown and stuff to get some decent gaps and stairs.

i got a bunch of spots around me
but most of them are busts within like 5 minutes..

downtown is like illegal to skate in, but we still go cause theres ledges, sets, handrails and it smooth. and theres a skate park which is alright.

****tastic =D

there are no spots where I live
