SKET BOTTERSOUTH AFRICA / TAKE PART
Connect with the scene. Share an event. Bring an idea.
Growing South Africa’s fingerboarding community takes riders, artists, makers, shops and organisers. Here’s how you can take part, at your own pace.
01 / FIND YOUR PEOPLE
Everyone can read; posting and commenting require approval.

02 / MEET AROUND A LITTLE BOARD

Comic dialogue: Room for one more? / Everyone starts somewhere.
We’ll list an event after checking its organiser, date, South African time, venue, costs, age rules and original source.
No booking, ticket or RSVP is available here yet. Confirm details with the organiser before travelling or paying.
Send an organiser’s public announcement, or propose your own session. We review each suggestion before listing it.

Introduce your workReview → agree the pieces and credit → preview → permission to publish. Sending a link does not grant us permission to reproduce your work or guarantee a feature.
04 / BUILD THE SCENE TOGETHER
Riders, makers, artists, shops and event organisers: if you’d like to contribute, share an idea or build something together, we’d love to hear from you.
A patient tip, a local connection, an illustration or an idea for a session can all be a start. Tell us what you have in mind. We’ll discuss what’s practical together.
Collaborate with usAn introduction starts a conversation. It does not promise funding, sponsorship, payment or a partnership.
05 / ONE MORE TRY
Play, pause and step through the illustrated Tricks Lab. Any setup. Any skill level.
Open the Tricks LabSend a public link to a clip you made, or explain a practice idea. Get permission from anyone featured and credit the people who helped.
Suggest a contributionLinks only. No file uploads. Third-party art, music and people’s images need their own permission.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Requests go to a private review queue. Your email and message are not published. A receipt means we saved your request for review; it does not mean an event, feature or membership has been approved.
Under 18? Please ask a parent or guardian to make the request with you, using their contact details. Don’t send your date of birth, school, ID or home address.
Prefer email? createfate96@gmail.com. This opens your email app; you still need to send the message yourself.
Sket Botter uses the name, reply email, links and details you provide to review and respond to this request. They are stored privately with the existing website host. Nothing is posted automatically, and this is not a newsletter signup.
We aim to keep only what is needed for the conversation. To ask for access, correction or deletion, email createfate96@gmail.com and include your request reference if you have it. Don’t include sensitive personal information.
Requests move to a recoverable private archive after 14 days in the review queue. Archiving does not erase them. Older records are flagged for a separate deletion decision; an ongoing collaboration needs its own agreed record. You can contact us about access, correction or removal. No automatic messages are sent.
Connecting to the request service…
If the service cannot save your request, we’ll say so and keep your text on screen. We won’t show a success message.
