The DIY scene in the States is pretty big and many of the spots are legendary. Burnside in Portland, FDR in Philadelphia, Washington Street in San Diego, and Marginal Way in Seattle are some of the most well-known DIY skateparks in the country, but there are thousands of lesser-known DIYs being built all over the world, that deserve some serious recognition.
A perfect example of this is one we recently came across. On November 5th, 2023, the popular Instagram page @skatediy posted a video of a pretty unique DIY build inside of an abandoned ice rink in Ukraine, check it out below!

This DIY is one of the most unique we have touched on so far. From the erieness it carries being in an abandoned space and the fact you can skate it during a rainstorm, we love everything about it. The people behind it have put in some serious labor and love to make this spot skateable.
Even the smallest of DIYs are backed by the same exact principles that go into the larger DIYs; community. It's a space that's created by skaters for skaters, bringing together friends, family, and strangers, all sharing a love for the same thing.
