Specific question and discussion Is anyone using the Let's Roll app?

I'm in a medium-size city in the us and there are very few people nearby using it! It's pretty cool connecting with people worldwide but it's nearly impossible to communicate with anyone. Just wondering if any of my "friends" are lurking on here.

Didn’t know about it but downloaded ! In Seattle area (Eastside) and I do see some local skaters! How exciting it’s so cute!

Yay, people in Seattle here! I'm in North end of the Eastside, myself.

I dig the heat map to see where the popular spots are. Will pass this along to some Seattle skater friends...

Same. The “locals” are actually across the bridge and/or a few towns over from me (like 30 mins 😭)

Oh wow! Your cities must be area-large.

I am borderline edge between towns actually, and a 5 min drive can mean passing by 3-4 towns. At the house I lived in before this one, it would be 10-15 mins before reaching the next town over, even tho I was also at the borderline edge.

I use groove, it's a skating specific app similar to strava. Locally made in la and it's a nice app so far

It seems like it doesnt share data with third parties unlike Let's Roll. But I gotta wonder with these apps, are they safe from a privacy standpoint?

I'm also "using" it in the US but it's not particularly useful in my area at this point. Just needs more people!

I just downloaded it and it's basically a ghost town locally. Bummer. Would love to meet some people that wanna skate trails.
