I plan on opening an indoor skate ark our youths and young adults.
This will give between 1000 and 3000 kids, teenagers, and young adults a place to practice, learn, and a secure place to do what they love to do, SKATE. In Our comunity we have around 1500 kids - young adults that ride skate boards, inline skates, scooters, and bmx bikes that have no real place to go. Our outdoor skate park is small and over crowed. With an indoor park there will be suprevision that is not in place at the out door park. I was always amazed by the things these kids can do, I feel if I can help mentor a program for them maybe they might go further in live. Who knows maybe a few could be the next Tont Hawk, Bam Margara, Rob Derdic, Or even the next Shawn White. What I plan to do with the money is build ramps, street course and an area for the younger kids smaller scale. If the project fuels over 100% I plan to invest it all into the park to make it bigger and better. I want this to help out our comunity with a couple of jobs also. So if can pleas help.
"1. RocketHub is not an investment or charity. It is an exchange: funds from fans for rewards from me.
2. It's an All & More funding mechanism: if I don't reach my financial goal I get to keep what I raise. But if I do reach my goal, I get access to exciting opportunities."
