While giving Boards to children who cannot afford them is the kernel at the center of our beginnings, we also want to foster good will in ALL aspects of skating. To this end we offer some things which we would like to see more of?

1. Parents and civically-minded adults being more pro-active with getting parks built for our sport.

2. Exposing skaters to all types of skateboarding. There are long boards, slalom boards, and downhill specialty boards for speed and sport. There are also bowl boards and many other types which most new skaters are not even aware of. Skateboarding is a vast sport with many styles and opportunities. See it all.

3. More kids skateboard than play baseball or football in this country. Parents should be proud of their skater children.

4. When you buy a $29.95 skateboard you get a $29.95 piece of equipment. If you have to do that to begin, fine. However, your child's interest in skateboarding grows, an investment into good equipment will be necessary. Be prepared. A good skateboard can cost from $80-$200. Not much considering what other sports cost.

5. More people should realize that skateboarding grew and thrived until the 'grown up' laws closed the parks in the late 70's and early 80's. Lawsuits closed those parks. Not kids. And the sport moved on, grew, and thrived.
Skateboarding is here to stay, embrace this amazing sport and provide parks and support for the millions of kids who skate every day.
