No ads, no subscriptions, ever. Dirtpin is a community map for riders who find and build their own spots. E-moto, e-MTB, dirt bike, or whatever. if you ride, the map is yours. Drop a pin in two taps. See what's around you. Know if it's still standing before you load up and drive out. THE MAP Spots pinned by riders, for riders. Fresh spots glow; dead ones fade. One glance tells you where the scene is alive. STATUS THAT SELF-HEALS Torn down? Rebuilt? Anyone can file a report. On-site reports carry more weight than couch reports, photos count for more, and the map is honest about what's unconfirmed. No stale lies. THE FEED Recent action in your zones — new pins, status changes, session clips, build progress. Chronological, finishable, no engagement-bait algorithm. When you're caught up, it says so. YOUR GARAGE Add your bikes, log what you rode where. Spots quietly show what's been ridden there. BUILT FOR THE CULTURE No follower counts. No leaderboards. Hearts go on posts and spots, never on people. The one number on a profile is credibility, earned mostly by filing reports that later turn out to be right. Private spots stay private. Public is your call, per pin. Only post spots you have permission to share. Ride at your own risk.
