Elemental Awareness

Friend of The Cleanest Line and periodic commenter, CM, hipped us to a cool program put on by our comrades over at Element Skateboards called Elemental Awareness.

"Even though this month is celebrating the bicycle. I felt other non carbon producing forms of transportation need a little spotlight. Skateboarding isn't just for the kids. Sidewalk surfers unite."

True indeed.

Elemental Awareness is a non-profit youth based organization that reaches out to the kids through skateboarding and education. It's main goal is to raise self esteem and inspire kids to go for their dreams and become more aware of the environment around them. They achieve this through hosting a skate camp in the wilderness, conducting school tours and hosting skateboard contests.

Recently, EA finished up a contest tour entitled "Future Nature". The tour went through the midwest on it's final leg, making stops at the White River Reservation and concluding in Iowa for a big family style bbq bash.

Hey Dan, just go to your local shop and tell them you want to know if the element team will swing through. Your local skate shop with the aid of a element rep helps organize the demos. Also you can see element pros as well as other skateboard pros at the Make A Wish event at South Shore every year.
