Ever wondered what it feels like to look at the world through a “skater lens”? Probably not, unless it's already “on”
Growing up as a street skater nothing around me felt boring or ordinary. Every set of stairs, handrail, pipe, or TV stand at home would be a “skate spot” for my imagination. My “skater brain” would be constantly landing tricks on almost everything I would look at. And I was not the only one. In fact, millions of people around you went through the same “professional deformation” Ask any skater, your world would never look the same after taking that “red pill”
Did you know that level of excitement of extreme sports athletes landing a trick is higher than when practicing any other activity, such as traditional sports, computer games, or even a first kiss? To see that all you need to do is to look in our eyes after we land a successful trick…
When a skater's attention is caught by a skateable object (skate spot) her mind starts drawing lines of tricks that she or her imaginary avatars are landing on it. Curiosity hits the seeling when you understand that the spot was actually skated before you saw it. You can see scratches and paint on a handrail, marks of wheels on a wall, or a waxed ledge. But how can you actually find out what happened here? What’s the actual story behind those shred marks? Who is the hero that actually did land this sick 20-stair gap? How can you even wallride that high to leave that mark? Did the one who scratched that steep-a*s handrail even survive? Did anyone think of that trick here? And most importantly how can I be a part of this spot's legacy?
Being able to answer those is what led to me quitting a successful career as a Silicon Valley VC and starting what's now called the ShredSpots app. A social map of skate spots that became home to over 150k skaters in more than 100 countries. This project is about letting anyone look at the beauty of the urban world from the skater's angle, showing the hidden beauty of the city you live in, and being able to experience the most dangerous and stylish form of street art that only lasts a heart bit.
