SEE YOUR CREW Open the map and see exactly where your friends are skating right now. Tap their pin to see who's out. Tap "Wave" to let them know you're on the way — no chat needed. BUILD THE SPOT MAP Long-press anywhere on the map to drop a pin. Tag the obstacle type — ledges, rails, gaps, banks, quarters, bowls, and more. Add notes about surface quality or security. Your crew can see it immediately and vote. Three likes promotes it to the global community map. Three dislikes removes it automatically. No moderators needed. TRACK YOUR HISTORY Every session logs your duration, city, and country. Unlock achievements for sessions skated, cities visited, and countries reached. FREE. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS. JUST SKATING.
