The Skate Culture Manifesto

ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY

A colourful, graffiti-inspired local directory connecting skaters across Weymouth and Dorchester. Learn about our vision to keep the South Dorset scene alive, inclusive, and growing.

OUR ORIGIN STORY

In South Dorset, skateboarding isn't just a hobby—it's a massive family. From the salty beach breeze of the wooden ramps at **The Front in Weymouth**, to the state-of-the-art concrete flow bowl at **Poundbury's Great Field in Dorchester**, our communities have always been deeply connected.

**Weybiza & Dorch Vagas** was born out of a desire to unite these two unique hubs. By bridging our coastal street spaces with our country-town transitions, we've built a central logbook and guide where skaters can share their experiences, log tricks, and connect in a safe, fun, and modern social environment.

THE SKATE PASSPORT

We wanted to make exploring local parks a gamified adventure! The **Skate Passport** allows you to register an account and visually "stamp" every park you conquer.

Log sessions, upload snapshots, and earn achievements like **"First Drop-In"**, **"Dorset Explorer"**, or the legendary **"Weybiza Legend"** badge for stamping all six major spots. Check your progress on our global leaderboard and show off your achievements to the local crew!

Encouraging skaters of all genders, ages, and backgrounds to join!
