SkateHut x CityLegends: Get Rewarded For Doing What You Already Love
Forget likes. Forget shares. Forget waiting for the algorithm to notice your clip. SkateHut has teamed up with CityLegends, the street culture app that turns your tricks into real rewards, and we've put together a prize pool just for skateboarders, scooter riders and BMX riders.
We've already seen a brilliant response from riders taking on the challenges, and we want even more of you getting involved. Here's everything you need to know.
What is CityLegends?
CityLegends is a community app built for skateboarding, BMX, scootering, freerunning and parkour. It's part spot map, part contest platform, part street culture hub. A place where you can find verified spots near you, post your clips, battle other riders 1v1, enter tournaments, and take on weekly and monthly challenges.
The idea is simple: stop posting for free. Every trick you land has the chance to earn you something back, whether that's coins, cash, brand vouchers or CityLegends merch.
The SkateHut Prize Pool
As part of our partnership, SkateHut is putting real prizes behind the challenges that matter most to our riders. Complete a challenge successfully and you can walk away with a £10 SkateHut voucher on us, to put straight back into your setup, whether that's new decks, grip tape, bearings or your next pair of shoes.
It's part of CityLegends' wider mission to make sure talent gets recognised wherever it's found. As Christian Gerards from CityLegends puts it:
"Community has always come first at CityLegends. We created The Street Comp because we believe international competition shouldn't be reserved for a small group of people. Talent can be found everywhere, and every athlete deserves the chance to be seen."
That's exactly why we wanted to get involved. Whether you're sessioning your local park or filming tricks on the street outside your house, this is a platform built to notice you.
Beyond Likes: Why Direct Rewards Are the Future of Action Sports
For years, action sports content has lived and died by social media metrics. Likes, shares, views, comments. You land the trick of your life, post it, and hope it performs. But hope isn't a reward system, and algorithms don't pay for bearings.
What CityLegends and platforms like it represent is a shift in how skate, scoot and BMX culture engages its riders. Instead of chasing engagement for its own sake, you're being rewarded directly for the thing you actually did. The trick, the clip, the challenge completed. No guesswork about whether the algorithm decided to show your video to anyone. You land it, you submit it, you get something back.
This matters for a community built on hours of practice for a single clip. A kickflip down a set of stairs that took forty attempts deserves more than a few likes from your mates, and now it can earn an actual reward. It's a far more direct, far more honest exchange than the traditional social media model, and it puts real value back into the hands of the riders doing the work.
