If you want the full, barely filtered version of how we got here you need to go read the “Know your History” section.

We are about opportunity. Skateboards and bikes are the tools we use and our mantra is Learn - Lead - Live. Our goal isn’t to create skateboarders or cyclists; we aim to present activities with nearly infinite skill and expression potential to participants. Learning the basics is hard and requires constant effort, but along the way, participants experience micro-doses of success that stoke the fire for more. While learning they become exposed to leadership opportunities as teachers and coaches all the while earning bits of grit every step of the way. Our hope is that they eventually fall into a passion and begin to close the circle. Within skateboarding it might be acting as a local champion by working to maintain a current skatespot or push for one to be built. In cycling it can be as simple as taking part in local trail maintenance days. With both activities, the pinnacle is being a true ambassador by being a solid person, helping others and the greater community.

At First Push Syndicate we all Live what we do and love all of it.
