Community Guidelines

1. Respect the spot, the city, and the locals

• Don’t skate over posted no-skating signs, fences, or barriers.
• Don’t damage property to make a spot more skateable (no wax dumps on benches that aren’t yours, no breaking fences, no "upgrading" ledges without permission).
• Don’t skate residential property at hours that’ll get the spot blown out.
• If someone who lives or works there asks you to leave, leave. Don’t escalate, don’t argue.
• Pick up your trash. Pick up other people’s trash if you can.

2. Submit honest spot info

• Drop the pin where the spot actually is. Don’t pin the wrong block to confuse outsiders.
• Tag the right obstacles. A 4-stair isn’t a gap, a hubba isn’t a rail.
• Note real conditions: bad pavement, security, sketchy hours, dogs, anything that affects a session. The description is for the next skater.
• Don’t submit private property as public if it requires permission to skate.
• Don’t submit a spot that’s been blown out, demolished, or fully bricked over. Submit it as Deceased instead.

3. Claim integrity

• The trick has to actually be landed. Roll-aways, not foot-pulls. Claim video must clearly show the trick from approach to landing.
• The trick has to match the Challenge exactly. A frontside flip is not a kickflip. A nollie heel is not a heelflip.
• The trick has to be done at the right spot. Use the same obstacle the Challenge was placed on.
• No edits that hide bails, splices, or speed manipulation.
• No re-uploading old footage as a new claim.
• No claiming a friend’s trick as your own.

4. Boost and Challenge fair play

• Don’t place a Challenge on a trick you intend to claim with an alt account.
• Don’t coordinate with the Challenge placer to fake a claim and split the payout. Stripe will flag the pattern; we will too.
• Don’t place Challenges on tricks that are likely to seriously injure someone (no "land a 360 flip down this 25-stair" ego Challenges).
• Boosts are a contribution to someone else’s pot. They can’t be redirected, withdrawn, or refunded.
• If a spot dies, the Challenge dies with it. That’s the deal everyone agreed to.

5. Forum & comments

• Talk about skating. Talk about spots. Roast bad form, not bad people.
• Don’t spam. One thread per topic. Don’t bump old threads for no reason.
• Don’t crosspost the same thing across channels.
• Don’t promote your e-commerce shop, your YouTube, or your friend’s SoundCloud unless it’s skating-related and on-topic for the thread.
• No NSFW. No gore. No content depicting injury or death.

6. No harassment, no hate, no doxxing

• No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or slurs.
• No personal attacks. Disagree with the trick, not the person.
• No threats of violence.
• No sharing someone’s real name, address, workplace, school, or phone number without their consent.
• No coordinated brigading of users, spots, or threads.

7. Stay legal

• Don’t post content encouraging trespassing, vandalism, theft, or violence.
• Don’t post copyrighted footage you don’t have the rights to.
• Don’t use the platform to coordinate illegal activity.
• Drug references in casual context are fine; selling, dealing, or coordinating drug use is not.

8. Reporting violations

If you see something that breaks these guidelines:

• Forum posts & comments: use the "Report" button on the post. A reviewer will look.
• Spot listings: use the "Report spot" option on the spot card.
• User behavior: use "Report user" on their profile.
• Anything urgent or sensitive: email [email protected].

We don’t share your identity with the user you reported.

9. Strikes and consequences

Most first violations get a warning. Repeat or serious violations escalate fast:

• Warning: the content is removed, you keep your account.
• Posting restriction: temporary block on submitting spots, claims, or forum posts.
• Dunce mode: your content is auto-flagged and capped for a period (you can still browse).
• Suspension: account temporarily disabled.
• Permanent ban: for fraud, harassment, doxxing, fake claims, or repeated serious violations. Bans are permanent unless overturned on appeal.

10. Appeals

If you think a moderation action was wrong, email [email protected] with the subject "Appeal" and your username. We’ll review and respond within 7 days. Decisions on permanent bans for fraud or harassment are final.
