Safety Information:

With the rising cost of insurance,hospitalization and with increased safety awareness we all need to take the time to remember to wear our safety equipment.

I myself have broken my arm twice skateboarding and can honestly state

if I had of been wearing pads at the time I would not have been injured.

The months of recovery far outweighted the minutes it would have taken to put the pads on.

Here are some skateboard safety related web sites.

Remember you never know who is watching you when you skateboard. We need to show the little guys coming along that wearing our safety equipment is the right thing to do.
