Hidden Gems: Meet Jerry Tsagamilis of SkateYou

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jerry Tsagamilis.

Hi Jerry, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I wanted to create the first social media for skaters. The demand was clearly high as you could see skaters from all different levels posting on existing social media platforms.

The first social media by and for skaters — SkateYou helps skaters share spots, tricks, win prizes, and build community.

A second home for skaters, adapted to their needs, where they can share the same values wherever they are.

SkateYou hosts skaters from all rankings and all over the world. From beginners to Professional Skateboarders, we all in this together.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Definitely not, but I like challenges. Setting up the whole thing, finding committed programmers, development, getting sponsors, and then trying to market and advertise a skateboarding app as a skater with no experience of the app industry.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about SkateYou?
SkateYou takes everything skaters have been posting on social media for years – spots, tricks, videos, photos – and gives them a home all under one roof. Integrating GPS technology, it has amassed a database of 30,000 skateboarding locations – mostly contributed by skaters themselves.

Skaters create their own profiles, and they can share high-quality videos, discover skate spots all over the world; win cash, products, and recognition from top skate brands by entering their tricks in the regular competitions held through the app.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
SkateYou App is free of charge for skaters across the globe. The SkateYou Brand offers a variety of limited skateboarding & lifestyle products at skateyou.com
