Tähtvere Unleashed: Estonia’s Skatepark Revolution


Marcelo Jiménez, Boneless.

The Simple Session contest dropped a bombshell, unveiling the all-new Tartu’s Tähtvere Skatepark, and let me tell you, it’s a savage beast of concrete ecstasy. They cracked open the gates during the festival, and man, when the job’s done this perfectly, you let your four urethane do the talking. This isn’t just a skatepark; it’s a shrine to speed, a temple of terror for your trucks. The bowl? It’s an endless jungle of lines, just begging you to grind until your trucks scream for mercy. Smooth as butter, you’ll glide for days, riding the long ones with a grin that’ll split your face. No crap coping, no wobbly hips, no loose gravel ruining your flow—this is the real deal, built by pros who know what the hell they’re doing.

Liidia Maier, the badass CEO of Eesti Rulatajate Liit, is riding high, and why the hell not? After years of hard work to gain the trust of the local government, the results speak for themselves. She fought the good fight, and now she’s got us the biggest concrete playground in the Baltic States to show for it, a million euros well spent, from the city of Tartu—every last cent.

The city officials are patting themselves on the back, the skaters are in a state of pure joy, and Liidia? She’s grinning like the cat that swallowed the canary, and who could blame her? Enough with the words—let the riders show you what this beast can do. Grab your board, catch a flight, and come shred the first skatepark in Estonia that’s not just done right—it’s done to perfection.
