We’re here to bring the benefits of skateboarding to your community.
Skateboarders have always found it difficult to practice their sport. Growing up with no accessible skatepark, I was left to skateboard on sidewalks, parking lots and schoolyards. Skateboarders were labeled as trespassers and vandalizers. We want to redefine the reputation of a skateboarder as an athlete.
We hope to show the benefits that skateboarding can bring by practicing healthy habits and showing it can be done respectfully. To have it talked about on the same level as any other sport. There are large communities of people who don’t have reasonable access to skate parks and who can benefit from having one in their community.
Current skateparks lack amenities like seating, shade coverage, and general cleanliness. Many parks are not maintained and often ignored. We want to create more support systems for skateboarding from cities, communities, and individuals. Skateboarding can be a very sustainable sport and a little bit would go a long way to improve it.
Skateboarding doesn’t discriminate, it integrates. It’s a shared practice that reaches all languages, cultures, and social class. It's a functional form of transportation, a great way to exercise, and encourages self expression. Skateboarding has enhanced my life physically, mentally, and emotionally. I hope to share this with more people. This is why we want to teach people of all ages how to skateboard correctly, safely, and respectfully.
