Links Aug-Sept 2019

To leave trash at a spot you hang out everyday is probably the dumbest thing you could ever do. Especially when this spot is a public space in the middle of the city where you are allowed to skate. Don’t take spaces like these for granted. Respect people who work there and clean your shit!

We are moving our LINKS section from the end of the moth to the approximate middle. In this section we post links to videos (or any other media) that came out recently. Obviously we can’t manage to cover absolutely everything, so if you have any suggestions or contributions, jot us a note at – rajontv.info@gmail.com or DM on insta.

The most intoxicated video of 2018 – “Pis Taisni” is going to have a sequel. The premiere date is set on 7th of December and the teaser is out. read more

Riga 89. Secondary School Plaza

skate spot riga

11 stairs with a handrail plus a chill plaza with manny pads and plastic benches. The ground is perfect flush cobble stone. There is also a pump track on the other side of the school. Everyone will find something to do around there. Kickouts are highly probable. Not a good idea to skate there during school hours obviously.

Minsk Pipe

A cool pipe thing for the creative minds. Located next to a shopping center and is pretty busy. Despite that there was no kickout. Not much has been done there but the spot has potential. Smooth and skatable.

Address: Nīcgales iela 2, Minska TC

Blue Box

If you want to predend that you are a badass New York city skater that skates real rough street spots, then Blue Box is your spot. It is a mysterious metal box on some parking lot with a disgusting, yet skatable, flatground. Everybody hates this place, but it is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Riga center spots. That is probably why every Go Skateboarding day event ends up here.

Address – Perses iela 2A

Kongresu Nams

riga skate spot

This place has the potential to be the best spot in town. It has stairs, ledges, gaps, and a lot of space. The only down side is that is covered with the shittiest cobble stone which makes it way too unpleasant to skate.

Back in the day (early 2000s) people used to skate here a lot and were happy to have it.  In late 2000s everyone skated the asphalt flat in the park next to the spot. Nowadays the spot is skated only when people try to film something. Still a good spot with a lot of options to be creative. Rare to almost no kickouts. read more
