Maps that know the difference between a road that's drivable and a road that's actually skateable. Smooth pavement, mellow grades, real spots, safer streets — routed by riders, for riders.
The Mission
SkateRoute is changing that. We're building the first navigation platform designed around how skaters actually move — favoring smooth asphalt over chewed-up concrete, gentle descents over brutal climbs, and connected paths over stop-and-go traffic. The vision is bigger than directions: a living, community-built map of the best ways to roll, anywhere.
Routing that reads pavement quality and elevation so you get the smooth, rollable line — not the shortest one for a car.
Skateparks, ledges, hills, plazas, and hidden gems — discovered, rated, and kept current by the community.
Share routes, follow local riders, and build the map together. The more we roll, the better it gets.
See It Live
The interactive web prototype is live now — real routes, a rider surface-smoothness heatmap, ride scores, and more. Poke around, then pick your lane below.
Best in a full browser tab. If the preview above looks blank, your browser is blocking embeds — just tap “Open the live prototype.”
How It Rolls
Three taps from “where to?” to a session worth filming — and kilometres that actually mean something.
Tell SkateRoute where you’re headed. It scores every street for surface and grade and hands you the smoothest, mellowest line — not the one built for cars.
The live HUD calls your turns like a local, tracks speed, grade and ETA, and Speed-Lock arms your camera hands-free the moment you push off.
Every ride earns a score, Flow, and Watts to spend at local shops — and your kilometres can help fund the next skate park.
In The App
SkateRoute reads the road the way you do — then turns every push into routes, clips, crew, and rewards.
Live Surface Heatmap
Thousands of real rides stitched together with privacy baked in — differential privacy means your individual route never leaks — so you always know what’s under your wheels before you commit. Pro unlocks the seasonal pothole & construction layer.
Smoothness-first routing
Lines scored by pavement and grade, with the climb you saved versus a walking map shown on every ride.
Talking ride HUD
“Glide down Chambers, gentle right on Begbie.” Live speed, grade, surface and ETA, right in your eyeline.
Speed-Lock capture
The camera arms itself and auto-records at speed — HUD, VHS, Fisheye, Line, Trick and 30-second Reel looks built in.
Crew & clips
Follow your crew, share routes, and catch the day’s trending clips. Spots, hazards and zones are tagged by riders who actually skate them.
Ride Score & Flow
Bank Flow, hold streaks, earn badges, count the push-stops you skipped, and watch your climb stack up against Everest.
Safety net
One-tap SOS, live location sharing, and trusted contacts on your ride. Hazard alerts keep the sketchy stuff off your line.
Off-grid mesh + watch
Lose signal and keep navigating through rider mesh, with a paired watch companion for glanceable turns.
Privacy · Zero-tracking
Anything that leaves your board is anonymized. Discovery and community without the surveillance.
Watts · Civic rewards
Smooth, car-free kilometres earn Watts you redeem at the local shops that back the scene.
The Culture
SkateRoute runs on a simple belief: streets belong to the people moving through them — and skating is real transport worth designing for.
Charity Miles turn your kilometres into funding for local skate parks and youth programs like the Vic Skate Park Youth Fund. Skate, and the scene grows.
Watts earned on smooth, car-free miles get spent with the shops and parks that keep skating alive. The reward loop stays in the community.
Every spot, hazard and route is mapped by riders. The more the crew rolls, the smarter the map gets — no corporate cartographers required.
Routing that treats your board as a vehicle, not a toy — safer lines, fewer push-stops, and a city that finally makes sense on wheels.

SkateRoute puts your business in front of an engaged, local, in-motion audience — and turns goodwill into measurable foot traffic.

For Investors
I'd rather find the select few who share the vision than a crowd chasing a quick return. This is an invitation to back the mission and earn a real return — not to redirect it.
"I'm not selling the steering wheel. I'm looking for a few people who want to ride shotgun on something that's going to matter — and share in the upside when it does."
