Skatehalle

If the terms half-pipe, fun box, ledge and kerb send you into a salivating frenzy, head for Berlin's Skatehalle where everything you could possibly want is just waiting for you and your board. There's some seriously dangerous-looking stuff going on here, with helmeted and padded bodies hurtling around the echoey arena. Should you fancy having a go yourself, day passes are very cheap and Skatehalle can provide all the equipment you might need - along with tips from experts and workshops to improve your skills once you've begun. Or, visit when there's a competition going and watch the competitors stick up two fingers to gravity and get away with it.
