I can't speak for much but,

London, without a doubt such an awesome place to skate. So many original/ different spots

Truro in Cornwall has a lot of spots (from my brief encounter) and a great skate plaza

Reykjavik in Iceland, i visited there and i stayed just outside this plaza which had great sets and gaps and shit, walking around the city there was so many spots and like none of them are skate stopped. Also i went in this mall and kids were just skating around on the top floor, it's like security hasn't clamped down at all on skateboarding

all i can think of right now

Agreed on both counts.
London has the sickest, grimy spots around every corner. Such a rad place to skate.

Truro's new plaza is amazing. So many parks/plazas popping up around the south west.

Bristol & the surrounding area are amazing too. Such a solid scene, and pretty much a party haven.

Jackson's got a shitload of skatespots- only about an hour and half from here, too.

Plenty of spots in downtown Jackson and all around. The Planetarium is a good meet-up spot and Thalia Mara hall right next door has the smoothest ground ever on the second story. I think the indoor park is still open as well; it's called Red C and is on hwy 80 in South Jackson.

I see you skate Nashville some. I just moved to Bowling Green, Ky a few months back, and was planning on skating some street spots in Nashville. Where is that place with the marble ledges everywhere?

Back to northern california:

san jos?: downtown, guadalupe parkway, all the skateparks, most school yards, and the eastside and southside all have hella terrain. never gets boring for me

sacramento: street and parks on lock you can definitely find what your looking for.

santa cruz: historical lived there for five years and still was finding new fun shit. from watsonville to the westside and even the mountains.

the peninsula south of the sco has hidden gems all over.

northbay: skatepark runs. you will not be dissapointed. st helena, sebastapol, novato, fairfield, benicia maybe rosetown.



you can watch things happen, you can make things happen, or you can wonder what hap

it looks like most of the US cities are covered so i will stick to off the beaten path.  

Buenos Aires - i grew up there and it is an awesome city to skate or just be in period.   it's similar to Barcelona i suppose, if i could compare it to anything.   good food, spots, hot chicks and a nice european/latin vibe.....busts will be on a minimal.

Seoul - where i live now.   the city is enormous and has soooooooo much to skate.  plus it is really modern, has ridiculously hot chicks and great food.   the bust factor is basically non existent. compared to tokyo (which is on DC bust levels) it is just much better to skate and not be hassled.  i meet alot of japanese dudes that come over from tokyo just to hang out and skate.  Seoul is one of the most fun cities i've ever been to...add in marble shit everywhere and a basically non existent police force and rarely seen security guards and you got a great time.  


anddddd Shanghai i guess.  it's got alot of shit but i hear it's becoming a bust more on the regular.   i really fucking hate mainland china so i couldn't really feel good about myself recommending someone to go there.   skip that one.
