Trucks and Fins is a huge present to the whole skate community - not just for the skating people, but also for shops, builders and schools. Super easy to use and can't believe how complete it is.

Every great project is built on the dedication and passion of its people. Today, I want to dedicate this article to the real pillars of TrucksandFins—the skatepark hunters—the people who have made this project what it is. These legends deserve way more recognition than I’ve given them so far, and it’s about time I change that.
TrucksandFins has become the world’s most complete and detailed skatepark database. People from all over the world use our site to find parks because we have the best skatepark content out there. Every one of the 22,000 skateparks in our directory is mapped out with specific details, allowing users to filter parks by obstacles, making it the most advanced and useful skatepark finder in existence. The feedback I get from users is clear—this is the Wikipedia of Skateparks.
And what’s crazy? This entire project has been built in my free time, with my own savings, and with the help of people who believe in this wild mission—to visit and document every skatepark in the world.
Five years later, alongside our top 10 best skatepark hunters, we have physically visited and documented 2,051 skateparks. That means with just 10 people, we have covered 9.3‰ of all skateparks in the world. That’s an insane number!
🛹 Jaime Soto – A fresh recruit, but already making waves. In the last six months alone, Jaime has documented 40 skateparks, focusing on Idaho and parks he visits on his travels. Parks visited
🛹 Pascal Lieleg (aka Bowlshit) – A professional photographer from Hamburg, covering Germany and skateparks worldwide. Thanks to Pascal, we’ve checked 88 parks off our list. Parks visited
🛹 William Montgomery – Holding down California while also documenting parks worldwide, William and his dad have personally contributed 101 parks (0.46% of the global total). Parks visited
🛹 Martin Bommeli – Representing Switzerland, Martin has visited and documented 386 skateparks (1.76% of the world’s total). Absolute legend! Parks visited
🛹 Patrick Peeters – The master of Belgium, The Netherlands, and the UK, Patrick has added photos to an incredible 448 skateparks, accounting for 2.04% of the world’s parks. Hats off, sir! Parks visited
🛹 Haroun Cherif (Founder of TrucksandFins) – Leading from the front, I have personally visited and documented 888 skateparks (mainly in Portugal, Spain and France), which is 4% of the world’s skateparks. This mission has consumed my life, and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our community. Without all the other hunters I would have given up ages ago, but I just kept going because I feel that I owe everybody who has helped me out. This project has to stay online. Parks visited
These are just the top contributors, but there are so many more people out there helping with photos and data. If you’ve ever sent in photos or updates—you rock. You make me believe that this crazy dream of visiting and photographing every skatepark in the world is actually possible.
The most mind-blowing part? None of these legends have ever been paid a penny. They do it because they believe in the mission—to create the best skatepark map in the world.
So, to every skatepark hunter, contributor, and supporter—thank you. You are making history, and together, we are building something that will last forever. Cheers to all of you! 🛹🔥

A big part of skateboarding is about finding Animal Chin - your spirit animal, or in other words: whatever gets you stoked. Could be the right people to roll with, or that special dream terrain. Trucks and Fins has all the best skate destinations in one place; a map of stoke in your hands.
