City skate tours

Skateboarding and cities are more connected than we realize - that's why skateboarders are always found in urban spaces.

Growing up in Johannesburg, we hear a lot of stories about what the city is or what it was like we always knew that there's more to this city than meets the eye.

On this experience, you will get the chance to explore Johannesburg from the skater's perspective and understand the relationship between the city and its people.

City Skate tour is more than just skating through the city it's a movement that addresses mobility in big cities and Johannesburg's ever evolving landscape and vision.

We also challenge the perception people have of skaters and skateboarding as a whole

Maboneng & Marshalltown

David Beckham was seen here and Forbes magazine rated it one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world. There is a reason for Maboneng's world recognition.

Learn about the epic street art initiative and visit its cultural attractions like the Museum of African Design and Arts on Main—a complex that was previously a series of dilapidated buildings that now have many cool galleries, restaurants and boutiques.

Enjoy the vibe while cruising on your skateboard.

Maboneng & Marshalltown

Jewel City

Jewel City is a Billion rand development found downtown which is considered an addition to the Maboneng development.

Over the years the city never catered for Skaters; we have seen bike lanes being built, new roads and skate parks but no one has really looked at skating as a mode of transport in the inner city of Johannesburg and the perception of skating has always been negative.

Jewel City has really incorporated skating in their design process and for the first time in the city people have started to look at skating differently and how Urban spaces can be used to attract a more diverse group of people; from people walking to people driving and now to those on their bikes and skateboards.

Newtown

NewTown 

Newtown, located near the Johannesburg city center, originally started out as a racially mixed working-class district where bricks were manufactured. In the late 1890s, the brickworks was removed to make way for the Kazerne Marshalling Yard, the first railway marshalling yard of its kind in Johannesburg

Today Newtown is known as the home of Jazz and Art in Johannesburg, the neighbourhood is home to:

- The Market Theatre 

- Museum Africa 

- Sci-Bono 

The art in this neighbourhood will blow your mind!

Johannesburg Through Unique Eyes

Hands down an amazing experience! This tour is for anyone looking to see Joburg through a unique perspective and a fresh mind set. The tour guides are so knowledgeable and accommodating, the tour itself is very informative and enjoyable for any age. After seeing these hidden treasures around the city I can say I’m proudly to be a South African! I can’t wait to support all the locals I came into contact with and visit them again soon.
