Edit hills?

You can edit any hill you like on Hill Bomb. As long as you're logged on, and looking at a hill's page, you'll see a link along the top called "Edit". Clicking it will open a form where you can change any of the attributes of the hill.

You'll see a field called "Why are you making changes?" on the edit form. Use this field to describe to others why you're changing things. It only appears on the revisions list of a hill, so make it descriptive please.

Good reasons to edit a hill:

  • you have more information for the description
  • correcting a spelling mistake on the city or street names
  • adjusting the ratings for traffic flow / surface condition
  • uploading a new map data file with more or clearer data points
  • changing the main image to something better
  • adding a category like 'beginner' or a ride like 'Freebord'

Bad reasons to edit a hill which will get your account removed:

  • you're pissed off with someone and feel like scribbling over all the hills they've added
  • you don't like skateboarders/longboarders/(insert ride) and you feel like removing them from hill categories
  • you feel like writing "I am a king! LOL!!!1!1!!" on the description of a hill

Once a hill is edited, an email immediately goes out to all those who are subscribed to that hill. All hill changes are saved, and can instantly be reverted (just like Wikipedia), so if you do any bad things to people's hills, not only will they be able to immediately fix it, but your name will be registered and banned from the site. Don't do it... ;)

Please note that the hill description is not a place to talk about your various experiences riding it (that's what the comments are for). A description should describe the hill itself, nothing more.
