Skateboarding in Skopje

Skateboarding is very widespread in Skopje. The level of skaters in Skopje is big and it increases from day to day. The skate group "Grind House" has a big role in skateboarding in Skopje, also ti has a big number of skaters, and a variety of foreign members including members from Serbia, France, Germany and so on. Skateboarding is well known in Skopje, but the city doesn't provide standards for it. Most skaters have to make their own custom skate parks and adjust themselves to their grind boxes, willie boxes and rails that they have made themselves. Contests are organized by older skaters with help from local skate shops. Although skaters don't have standards that the city needs to provide for them, many young people who are motivated by the older skaters, skate  with great commitment in the streets of Skopje.

In this post I will write down the most influential and dedicated skater I know, and the skate group that he created that 99% of the skaters in Skopje have joined.

Viktor "Viksa" Vasilevski

Viktor Vasilevski started skating when he was 15 or 16 years old (I don't know), and he is now 27 years old.  He has influence over many young skaters, and motivated almost every young kid to start skating.He is the founder of the skate group "Grind House", a group that covers 99% of the skaters from Skopje. He makes elements (skateboarding platforms) on wich every skater skates, he organizes many contests, he finds locations for skating, he does preety much everything. He participated in many contests, not just in Macedonia, but in Serbia too, and he has always been solidly ranked. Viktor or "Viksa" as many skaters call him, has always organized everything for skaters in Skopje, and if he's not arround the skateboarding life in Skopje will be lifeless.


Grind House is a skate group (founded by Viktor Vasilevski in 2010) that helps organize and unite the skaters from Skopje, Macedonia and other countries such as Serbia, France and Germany.
Grind House has over 340 members, and all contribute to the group. Well not all but you get the idea.

Grind House Skaters

The group is the most known skate group in Skopje, and Macedonia. I myself am a member of the group. We have a Facebook group (be sure to check it out) that we use a lot, for оrganizing events, organizing where we meet, what location we will go skate on that day and many other things. Thanks to the group the skaters from Skopje are all united. :)
