Check out @NBDbyMe on Instagram to learn more about NBDbyMe. Do you want to get better at skateboarding? Of course you do, but do you ever think about HOW to get better? Do you go into every session with a clear idea of what NEW tricks you want to try, or do you just keep doing tricks you already know how to do? Do you have a good way of saving all the ideas for new tricks that pop into your head, or do you just end up forgetting them later? Do you have a record of everything you've landed, or have you forgotten what you've already accomplished? NBDbyMe is the ultimate app for skateboarders (and snowboarders, BMX riders, and all other "action sports" people) who want to advance their skills. NBDbyMe helps you save and organize your ideas for new tricks, keep track of all your progression, and save and share your spots without blowing them out. FEATURES *The Ideas List: Did an idea for a new trick pop into your head? Don't forget it—save it to the Ideas list. Need to save an idea for a line instead of a single trick? NBDbyMe lets you save lines and it's easy to add, delete, and rearrange tricks in a line. Already have a spot in mind for your trick? Add the spot to the trick by using the spots organizer. Are some of your tricks more important than others? Move your high priority tricks to the top of the list at the tap of a button. Did you land one of the ideas you saved? Mark it as NBDbyMe and it will be moved to the NBDbyMe list. *The NBDbyMe List: The NBDbyMe (Never Been Done by Me) list is your record of all the tricks you've landed. Did you land a new trick that wasn't already saved in your Ideas list? Just add your new trick directly to the NBDbyMe list. Can't remember if you've done a certain trick before (you'll be surprised at how often that happens)? Just look it up using the search bar in the NBDbyMe list. *The Spots Organizer: Drop pins on the map to save the locations of your spots. Selectively share the names, coordinates, and map links for your spots using Mail, Messaging, Twitter, and Facebook. Get directions to your spots using either the Maps App or Google Maps. Browse the Ideas and NBDbyMe tricks at each of your spots and add Ideas and NBDbyMe tricks directly spots (this feature is great when you're brainstorming for tricks at a specific spot). The spots organizer also includes a full map search to find landmarks and locations based on coordinates, addresses, and keywords. *Photo and Video Support: Add photos and videos to both tricks and spots. *Notes Sections: Every trick and spot has a notes section for any other thoughts you want to save: foot positioning for a particular trick, best times to skate a spot, etc. *Support For Multiple Activities: The default activity is named "Skateboarding", but if you're not a skateboarder NBDbyMe still has you covered. Are you a BMX rider? Just change the name of the default activity to "BMX". Are you a skateboarder who also does a lot of snowboarding? No need to get a separate app to keep track of your snowboarding. Just go into the settings and add "Snowboarding" as another activity.
