Hi all,
Ive been living in Seoul for the last 10 years. Here is the downlow
Spots
It used to be basically bust free but in the last 3/4 years, it def has gotten worse.Just avoid skating something that looks like art and you should be fine. There are an endless supply of spots. Just get off at an station, bound to find something. Hot spot areas are ddp, yueido , Digital media city, Samseong, Sunae which is technically not Seoul. Tons of other areas, go explore
Parks
Cult is still going strong but neighbours have been complaining. Tukkseum resort has a big park but it's not perfect. The ground is a bit soft. Boramae has a concrete park which is geared towards comp training, you gotta wear a helmet
Shops
Timber in Hongdae
Savor in Sangsu
Heaps in Boramae
Palpal in Apujeong
Aori park near Ttukseom resort
Tussa in Itaewon
All are good
Hope this helps
