OpenSB is a skateboarding collective. We are a bunch of skateboarders who release work, collaborate, and support one another.
The OpenSB Times is like a skateboarding writing label, trying to explore every corner of skateboarding and serving fresh weekly edits [trying]. Collectively written and curated.

A shop with special member prices 🇺🇸
From Mathilde, Max, and Kev👇
We’ve been lucky enough to work for awesome skate brands for over a decade. We made some collabs with them. And now we’re relasing an online shop — available for everyone in the United States.
Members enjoy a 50% discount on everything. You can become a member - for as little as $50 a year - here on our Open Collective page.
Skatefolio is live 🎥
From Josh, Zach, and Ethan👇
After a year of intense development, Skatefolio is officially LIVE!
Ever wonder who the skater was in that untitled Bronze 56k video? Want to watch every clip Jake Johnson's ever filmed? Curious to see Jacob Elliott Harris' complete filmography? With our Clip Mapper tool, beautiful profiles, and a robust database, we're on a mission to give credit where credit is due.
Learn new tricks thanks to 3D 🌐
From Vincent👇
During the third lockdown in France, my 9-year-old daughter started learning skateboarding. While teaching her the basics, I was very frustrating with Youtube videos where you cannot interact to see precisely the position of the feet.
After a first prototype put in the hands of several skateboarders and teachers, development was launched in 2022 and the final version of the application was released earlier this year. Thanks to the magic of 3D, discover, interact and learn new skate tricks more easily than ever before. The trailer and the app are here.
SkateApp - your new skate app :)
From Chris and team👇
We are thrilled to introduce SkateApp, a cross-platform application dedicated to creating a vibrant creative hub for skaters worldwide. Our focus is to bring a fresh spotlight to unseen talent and connections within the skateboarding community.
Currently SkateApp serves as a comprehensive index of over 50,000 spots across the globe. However, our vision goes beyond being just a map; we aim to cultivate a platform that shines a light on those all too often overlooked. We aspire to elevate the visibility of emerging creators and offer an ambitious, unique, community-focused platform.
You can think of OpenSB as an incubator for skateboarding ideas. Our goal is to create a common good for the whole community, truly owned by everyone.
That’s all for today. Please, enjoy your friends and family. Your feedback is always much welcome so never hesitate to reply. We're excited.
Happy Thanksgiving. Peace everyone ✌️
