"Skateboarders reaching skateboarders with the Gospel"
Skateboarding is one of the fastest growing sports world wide, you don't have to look far to realize that. Cities are building more and more skateparks, where 10 years ago skaters were piling into another cars and driving to skateparks now it has changed to many more local skateparks. In cities where there was just one now there are 10. Skateboarding is not a north America sport but spreads and spans world wide, from small towns to villages. It is a subculture and lifestyle for many, it doesn't matter where you go you still carry the common ground of being a skateboarder.
Since our start in 2008, we have traveled extensively across the United States doing skate demonstrations at churches, schools and other venues. As time progressed our vision and mission started changing a bit and the focus from north America to the world. It started in baby steps, an international trip here and there, 6 months here or three months there, to making the step to full time skate missions.
