Skateboarding Forums and Blogs
Dulcinea's Insight
- The publications listed in the Skateboarding News and Magazines section also serve as online communities. Some even solicit reader feedback and input. Explore their blogs and forums as well.
Dulcinea's Picks
For forums …
Skaters’ Cafe
Forum makes up in membership what it lacks in snazzy interface. An active community discusses skating and posts pictures and videos. Anyone can read the forum, but to join a chat room you’ll need to log in.
Sidewalk magazine
is less robust than other skateboarding magazines, but its well-traversed forum is worth investigating.
Silverfish Longboarding
is full of active forums for longboarders. Posts are organized by general discussion, longboard disciplines, regional locations and more.
For blogs …
Sublimited
is a blog written by a skateboarder in his 30s with such a passion for the sport that he can’t stop doing it or talking about it. As a result, his blog is both comprehensive and focused solely on skateboarding and related topics. Use the “categories” section on the right to browse older posts by topic.
Real Skate
is an online skating magazine run by a small staff, and its News and Whatnot section is done in a blog-like format. Much of the news is skating related, but you’ll also find commentary on politics, arts and other matters of interest to the author.
