Holystoked! – Meet Bangalore’s gnarly skateboarding shrine that has got us wanting to slide, grind and flip.

Let us tell you a story. Four boys set off to live their skateboarding dream. They found no accessibility or availability to any gear or skateparks except Tony Hawk’s trusty Playstation ones. Did they continue to just dream? Hell no. They BROUGHT the water to the horse, and hence, in 2011 HolyStoked was born… and dude are we stoked or what.

With hardly any skaters in India, they have been diligently working towards spreading the culture and joy of skateboarding all over the country including our very own Luru!

What started as a hand full of ‘skaterz’ is now more than 500 across the country. They also do a skate tour once a year with their skater buds from around the world! Pretty epic huh!? They’re in the process of constructing a brand new skatepark which will be up and running soon in Hennur.

Classes

They keep getting better and better at this! They also have certified instructors to teach you the difference between a darkslide and a darkside. We love their enthusiasm in spreading this sport around. Classes range between 3000-4000 per month, a pretty sweet deal we must say!
