Recently, I checked out a spot out in the sticks that my buddy shared with me. It was sick and pretty cutty so I thought "I want to get a group out here to skate". A little bit of info about my community and nearby communities, there's maybe 4-5 people who skate downhill here and we are trying to grow the community, inclusion is necessary but keeping tabs on who can skate what is important. I posted a Facebook event and invited people who I knew would be able to shred it or at least enjoy hanging out in the community. Without posting the location of the road I used a nearby town as the location and said more info tba. The Freeride hasn't happened yet and I'd be surprised if more than 6 people show up, and we live in an age where people are much more likely to know their limits and not blow it at spots *knock knock*. Anyways fast forward and the homie who told me about the spot called me out for sharing the spot and says that I'm blowing it for trying to get people out to skate there, all 6 of us. I've been to the road and tested it and determined it's not a spot that is gonna give people problems or anything. So did I blow it? Is sharing a spot with the community to get more people stoked on downhill and sharing a spot that imo is in no way shape or form a spot that should be kept sacred (if that's still a thing) from local skaters. Let me know your thoughts?
FYI: am completely in the know of what blowing a spot looks like and I don't think this would fall under that catergory as far as ruining a spot or anything.
Is keeping spots secret in our small communities still necessary?
