Two Ways to Find the Best Outdoor Fingerboard Spots
Today, let's look at a couple of tips that will help you find outdoor fingerboard spots. Below is a video you should definitely watch if you want to see it in action!
Search for "Public Art" using Google: Make a search query for "{City} Public Art Map". I've found multiple towns near me have an online map that highlights art installations and sculptures. Why art? Well, sometimes they make the best fingerboard spots!
Cruise the Streets on Google Maps: Locate an area that has a high likelihood for having fingerboard spots, then click your way down a street/walkway noting any obstacle that could work for fingerboarding. Typically, I've found the following areas to have a high chance: Parks, Public Gardens, Downtown areas, Office Buildings, and Schools. Schools may not be the best if you are older, as they can be private property.
Let me know if you find any success with these two tips!
