Boards 4 Snots Campaign

What could be better than skaters helping skaters? I recently read an article about three friends who started a campaign called “Boards 4 Snots.” They collect gently used skateboard decks, wheels, and bearings to help repair skateboards of underprivileged kids.

A new skate deck can start at $99 with a fully furnished set-up costing around $145. Even the cost of new skateboard wheelsand helmets can be too much for some of the kids, many of whom share a skateboard. The trio of friends set up near skate parks to repair the “snots’” skateboards and teach safe skating. Sites have also been set up for more fortunate skaters to donate items like grip tape, hardware, and safety gear.
