10 Countries With Fast Growing Skate Scenes

These skate scenes may be very small, but they are the ones so watch.

Sweden has a healthy skate scene, centred in the capital and with good indoor facilities such as Bryggeriet in the south, and Stapelbäddsparken (www.stapelbaddsparken.se) which has hosted two finals of the Quiksilver Bowlriders.

However, last year Swedish skaters’ main goal to have skateboarding formally recognised by the Swedish Sports Confederation moved closer. This should give skateboarding a clearer identity among the decision makers, and grant skateboarding part of the 1.7 billion Swedish Kronor from the governmental sports funds in Sweden. More money means more parks, which means a healthier and faster growing skate scene.
