Watch: The best spots to skateboard in Singapore

Back in the 90s, skateboarding in Singapore was practically illegal. You couldn’t do it on the streets, on the sidewalks, and you damn sure couldn’t do it in a skate park (there weren’t any). If you were caught doing a kickflip on a public sidewalk, you could expect a 150 SGD fine (about 110 USD today). Two decades and almost a dozen skateparks later, Singapore is embracing its skateboard community, which might explain why these boarders from Ride Channel were able to get a few grinds off a ledge in front of City Hall.
