Description:
The Skateboard Demonstration program provided by Loudoun County Skate Project is a unique way to advocate for legal and safe skateboarding areas. We provide talented skateboarders, skate obstacles such as quarter pipes, kicker ramps, and flat rails, and will even find a venue near you if needed. This demo setting helps to replicate an actual skate park which allows the skaters and audience members to visualize what’s possible in their neighborhood.
We have split up this program into two categories to simplify the application process:
Community Service:

Activities:
- Skateboard demonstration
