🌍 Today, on International Day for the Elimination of Racism, we are reminded of the importance of being actively anti-racism. At our skateboarding sessions, it's not just about perfecting tricks—it's about creating a safe space that values inclusivity, diversity and belonging. 🛹 Skateboarding is more than just a sport; it's a community. By instilling anti-racist values in our young skaters, we're not only fostering respect and empathy but also ensuring that our sessions remain welcoming and accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. 🚫 Racism has no place in our community. We believe in the power of skateboarding to bring people together, break down barriers, and build connections that transcend race, ethnicity, or nationality. 💪 So let's use this day as an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to anti-racism. Together, let's continue to create a skateboarding community where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered. 🏙 As our young skaters grow and carry these values into their daily lives, they become agents of change in their neighborhoods and cities. They challenge stereotypes, break down barriers, and foster connections with those from different backgrounds, thus extending our impact beyond our sessions. 💡 In this way, our skateboarding community becomes a catalyst for broader societal transformation. By championing diversity and inclusion, we inspire others to do the same, creating a more tolerant, understanding, and equitable society for all. 💪 So let's continue to skate towards a future where racism has no place, where every person is valued and respected, and where our collective actions make a meaningful difference in the world. #EliminateRacism #CommunityImpact #InclusionForAll

There have been almost as many pronouncements about the death of skateboarding as there have about advertising or TV. And yet here we are. It's fascinating to delve into a genuinely nuanced debate about skateboarding's fluctuation in popularity and whether it's ultimately a good thing when it's on the rise. Skate's continued commercialization (there was an awful low point when it seemed to feature in every other runway show), and acceptance via corporate global events like The Olympic Games, has definitely made it feel utterly mainstream and sanded off some of the edges of a subculture built on a mix of ingenuity, rebellion and outsider status. Yet in truth, that hardcore punk element in skate started dissipating long ago now. Far from being insular, kids today skate one day and play football the next, maybe even do theater after that. They even wear football shirts to skate in. If a rise in skateboarding's popularity means less gatekeeping and a more inclusive culture that's inviting to more communities I'm all for its continued popularization. The only thing I think all skaters can agree on is making sure the funding trickles down to the grassroots level and endemic scene. Now who is excited to watch the women skate the Olympic Park and Street courses this week? https://lnkd.in/e5Y2_p8F

This is the scariest thing I've heard of in my life. And you can use it in your business to make money. When I was fifteen years of age, I got my first skateboard. Most of my friends were skateboarders, and I had finally joined the ranks. The CCS catalog was the gateway to skate culture for kids in rural towns. My family had a Golden Retriever (dog) as a pet. It could not skateboard. All the skaters in town had gotten permission to cobble together a makeshift skatepark on the unused basketball court of the First Baptist Church (praise God). While skating there one day, my friend fell off a ramp and snapped his forearm in half. Another friend took a picture of it. These were the days before cell phones had cameras mind you! (This is something Gen Z could never understand! A Phone Without A Camera!? No Way!?) What if I broke my arm skating? It could happen. And that is terrifying to me in my opinion. It motivated me to never fall off my skateboard, which in turn made me very bad at skateboarding. Fear is a tool but sometimes it's a bad tool that makes you bad at something. Like at work or something if you're scared you might do bad, etc. Don't be afraid to make money at your business. Agree? #skateboarding #money #goldenretriever #fear #business #genz #cameraphone #phone #agree
