Whagaa Software has announced the release of the GoLearn Skateboarding app for iPhone and iPod Touch. With GoLearn Skateboarding, enthusiasts can learn different tricks, discover new skate parks, and rock out to their favorite tunes - all from the same device.

This revolutionary app leverages GPS and identifies high-rated locations in close proximity to the skateboarder.

GoLearn Skateboarding is perfect for all skateboard levels, from beginning to expert. Skateboarders can learn tricks from experts, how to select the right board, proper safety, and repair and maintenance. Even the most advanced skateboarder will find the techniques useful and the "Skate Park Locator" invaluable when traveling to find new locations.

GoLearn Skateboarding includes the following features:

+ Introduction

+ Tips and Tricks

+ Skateboard Mechanic

+ Skate Park Locator

+ Over 45 high definition videos with slow motion, multiple angles and detailed instruction.

"Our perception of what the skateboarder needs as functionality comes from a lifetime of involvement. Skaters want to see different tricks performed by different people in different places. By providing an intimate discussion of how to re-thread a truck axle or watching Josh Mattson walk you through doing a Miller Flip, it's as if we are speaking directly to the skater. Couple that with a GPS-driven Skate Park Locator for the traveling skater and the GoLearn Skateboarding application is unparalled in today's market. Our partnership with Whagaa is an exciting one allowing us to transform our vision of Action Sport applications into reality," comments Danny Keith, CEO of Santa Cruz Skate Shop.

This release of GoLearn Skateboarding is just the first of many new and exciting applications that will be brought to market via the partnership of Whagaa and Santa Cruz Skate Shop.

GoLearn Skateboarding leverages Whagaa's iMIP, which accelerates the delivery of content rich applications to the iPhone platform.

"There is no other platform on the market today that can take rich instructional content from VHS, DVD, or the Internet and accelerate the development of mobile apps, such as Apple iPhone apps. Whagaa believes that GoLearn Skateboarding is unique because it leverages the combination of instructional content, SQL database capabilities, Internet access, and GPS to enhance the user experience beyond simply replaying video content. These technologies come together to provide a slick solution that resides on the same device that skateboarders use to listen to their favorite tunes. We are extremely excited by both the launch of GoLearn Skateboarding as well as the future potential of similar applications from our partnership with Santa Cruz Skate Shop," comments Erik Florio, CEO/Founder of Whagaa.
