#lvskatenostalgia: Maxima kicker
There's always a spot behind a supermarket
Riga 89. Secondary School Plaza
11 stairs with a handrail plus a chill plaza with manny pads and plastic benches. The ground is perfect flush cobble stone. There is also a pump track on the other side of the school. Everyone will find something to do around there. Kickouts are highly probable. Not a good idea to skate there during school hours obviously.
Minsk Pipe
A cool pipe thing for the creative minds. Located next to a shopping center and is pretty busy. Despite that there was no kickout. Not much has been done there but the spot has potential. Smooth and skatable.
Address: Nīcgales iela 2, Minska TC
Blue Box
If you want to predend that you are a badass New York city skater that skates real rough street spots, then Blue Box is your spot. It is a mysterious metal box on some parking lot with a disgusting, yet skatable, flatground. Everybody hates this place, but it is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of Riga center spots. That is probably why every Go Skateboarding day event ends up here.
Address – Perses iela 2A
Kongresu Nams
This place has the potential to be the best spot in town. It has stairs, ledges, gaps, and a lot of space. The only down side is that is covered with the shittiest cobble stone which makes it way too unpleasant to skate.
Back in the day (early 2000s) people used to skate here a lot and were happy to have it. In late 2000s everyone skated the asphalt flat in the park next to the spot. Nowadays the spot is skated only when people try to film something. Still a good spot with a lot of options to be creative. Rare to almost no kickouts.

Hope you all are having the time of your lives this summer. As for Riga Barax community days are spent enjoying the spot while it is still there. According to rumors it is the last summer when Barax is around. Business people in suits plan to build a serious office building on that territory. All we can do is hope they will fail.
