Skateboarding has and always will be a vehicle that brings community together. Connections are made and friendships last as individuals share common ideals. A HUGE shoutout to The Skateroom for supplying fresh boards for the students of SkateClass and even more for future projects. Another shout out to Jim Thiebaud and DLX dist for sending up 25 sets of wheels and trucks to help assemble boards being sent out to Ahousaht First Nation's Reserve in support of the amazing work that NewLine Skateparks and the Get on Board Crew is doing with youth on Canada's remote West Coast.

Life is better with skateboarding in it.
