We like to think so. THE SKATEROOM Podcast unites art and skate, to create social change.
EPISODE ONE
Building community, on and off the board
We’ve been supporting Free Movement Skateboarding for a few years now, but it wasn’t until 2022 that we made a formal, unrestrictive commitment. The refugee-centric skateboarding organization will receive 50,000$ in sponsorship from THE SKATEROOM model this year. And to celebrate this, we wanted to invite Will Ascott (Co-Founder) to kick off the new THE SKATEROOM Podcast, alongside THE SKATEROOM’s hosts Clara Bardiau and Oisin Tammas. Enjoy.
