It’s time for our annual Truck Drive to hopefully get some donations to make skateboards for those in need. Message us right here so we can plan a pick up with you for your unwanted trucks!
We also will take boards and wheels and other products. Keep in mind we are not a company. We are a charity organization and we are out of funding. For 19 years we have been grassroots funded by the founder or community donations. Thanks for helping us help them. Ride On !

team is gearing up for Saturday where we could give that girl or boy a spark to see Skateboarding for the first time and send them on their magic carpet ride. Our 7 year old teammate Finnian Benderly will be attempting to Ollie over the 7 inch daredevil Evel Knievel doll during the parade. He’s been practicing really hard for clearance ✨
