UKSA (UK Skateboard Association) - Informational Website

What they do?

The UK Skateboarding Association is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to serve the skateboarders of the UK. Primarily they will provide guidance and advice to councils to make best use of the resources they allocate to the purpose of skateboarding. As all members of UKSA are skateboarders themselves with nearly 100 years of experience between them they feel they can accurately represent what skateboarders need and want in the UK today. Council facilities, unless closely coordinated with experienced skateboarders, have been shown to be left neglected and underused. As more councils are making provision for skateboarders they aim to turn the tide on poor skatepark design to bring facilities in the UK more in-line with those in Australia, the US and on the Continent.

Other plans currently in the works are talks with insurance companies to help ease the burden on privately owned skatepark liability and drawing up a set of rules for judging and points that integrates with the European Championships.

Why are they doing it?

For years there has been no central resource for businesses looking for information on skateboarding and skatepark design in the UK. Without such an organisation with active members the quality of skateparks and information has been degraded, leaving skateboarders misrepresented and with poor facilities. They aim to turn this tide.

How will they do it?

To achieve its objectives, UKSA has to carefully manage its resources. The organization relies on various funding sources, including sponsors, grants, and donations, to carry out its activities. UKSA also partners with local skateboard communities and skateparks to promote the sport. This collaborative approach helps to expand the reach of UKSA while also fostering a sense of inclusivity and diversity in the sport.

However, managing a sporting organization like UKSA is not without its challenges. One of the main challenges facing UKSA, as well as other sporting organizations, is the the popularity of online betting and there has been a rise in the number of bookmakers and sports betting sites UK. This has raised concerns about the potential for match-fixing, corruption, and unethical behavior in sport.

The first donation has just arrived from a company which is presenting their readers the best online casino bonuses (check their website). We are really thankful and will invest in skateparks for the children.
