What we do
As skateboarders we do what we know the best
We build skateparks, we bring boards, we come up with educative activities and we share good times!
As a bunch of skaters we know how this sport is powerful in creating a community. We believe that this aspect can be the key to sustainable help. Especially regarding younger generations.
