Mission

Our mission is to include, teach & support people living with & without dis(abilities) to be a part of the skateboarding and action sports community.

Vision

To create an environment where people of any ability can have opportunities for a unique experience of skateboarding and actions sports for recreation, competition and life enrichment.

Who We serve:

We welcome individuals of all ages (5 and up) and abilities, including those with cognitive or physical disabilities, as well as those without any disabilities. Skateboarding is for everyone!

Goals and Strategy:

We partner with existing non-profits, adaptive sports organizations and parks & recreation departments to bring adaptive skateboarding/wcmx clinics and programs to their communities. By creating partnerships we are able to collectively create more accessibility and inclusion in skateboarding. We currently partner with organizations across Texas. In 2025 we are launching our adaptive skateboarding/wcmx training curriculum to help train organizations to run their own clinics/programs.

Future Hopes:

To have safe and sustainable adaptive skateboarding/wcmx programs across the United States so all people with disabilities have accessibility to these fun opportunities.
