Skate 2 Guide

It's been over a year since we last grinded the sunny street curbs of San Vanelona. But "New" San Van isn't the skate-topia it once was. Pools have been filled, hubbas have been capped, and an unhealthy infestation of rent-a-cops has befallen our beloved burg.

Even familiar sites, like the breakneck hills of the Res and the stoic but skate-able office parks of downtown aren't the same as they once were. But the biggest change of all may be your status; you're no longer number one. It's time to change that. It will take more than a few rounds of S.K.A.T.E. with the pros to get back on top. Whether you're elbowing in on photo shoots for in Thrasher and The Skateboard Mag, or going for the gold on the SV Megaramp, you shouldn't have to go it alone. We're here to help you take back your title, and the streets of New San Van in the process.
