Overview

    Skateboarding and big cities around the world can't be separated from each other - we love how the city's skaters use the urban space in Johannesburg on a daily basis!

    Johannesburg sometimes has a negative and controversial reputation as a city and so does skateboarding - this tour is about challenging these ideas!

    By looking at the inner city through the eyes of a skater and life-long resident of Johannesburg, we challenge these stereotypes and look at how we can build a more skateboard and people friendly city in Johannesburg!

    If you've ever wanted to learn how to skate or are interested in learning more about the city of Johannesburg - or are just looking for something different to do - then this tour is for you!

    We love skateboarding and we love our city, we want to share both of them with all of you and the world!

What's Included

  • Skateboards, Knee Pads, Elbow Pads, Wrist Guards, and Helmets!
  • Transport back to the start/meeting point at Curiocity Backpackers after the tour ends!
  • Basics of Skateboarding lesson i.e. how to stand, push, turn and stop on a skateboard

What to Expect

    This experience is done through a combination of skateboarding and walking i.e. we skate where we can skate and walk where we need to walk! Anyone who is looking to try something new OR to experience Johannesburg from the ground in a fun and informative way should definitely book this experience: you don't need any skateboarding experience to join, we start with a Skate Lesson for Beginners! Johannesburg and South Africa both have very complicated histories so this is also a great way to hear about these from our perspective! Skateboarding is fun and Joburg is cool...come have a fun and engaging time with us in the City! TIPS! Some common slang you may here along the way... Shap Shap - Used to say "Hello" OR "Goodbye" or to indicate that something is good i.e. the food/movie/experience was "Shap Shap"! Ekse, Hola - Also used as common greetings i.e. "Hello"! Sawubona (singular)/Sanibonani (group) - "Hello" in Zulu...one of the most spoken native languages in the City!
