Skate Park: "Dog Shit spot"

The name doesn't really do this spot justice, it's quite a cool spot actually. This skate park is the perfect example of a Berlin skate park: it’s next to a train track in the middle of the city and there is street art all around. The spot can’t be more urban, this is a big reason why the skate spot is so popular. Another reason is the variety of the skate park: ramps, ledges, curbs, rails, quarter pipes, mini ramps you name it. Check it out if you want to have a good skating session at this urban skate park.  

Kulturforum: skate spot of culture

This spot is one of a kind because it isn't necessarily a skate park, the spot is a square. It's on the Potsdamer Platz in front of the Kulturforum: the place of museums, library's, research and concert halls. The spot is super dope and inspiring which is why skaters like to come here. The terrain of Potsdamer Platz is mostly flat, which makes room for sick lines and tricks. Handrails, stairs and banks make this spot a great place to skate freely. Red Bull even hosted skateboarding competitions at the Platz, how cool?
