SKATE, BIKE, RIDE for those you love!
Have the time of your life and join the growing community of riders committed to the cause! Some of those who will be Skating the Coast [SoCal] will be dedicating their ride to a friend or loved one. Others just love to shred the love. Whatever your reason, it’s guaranteed that your first time won’t be your last. It’s that awesome.
To participate, ALL RIDERS must fundraise a minimum of $50* (and fill out a waiver!).
Just by asking 3 friends/family members to pledge $1/mile, or asking for a $10 donation from 5 people, you are already past this goal. Or – you can pay the amount yourself but it’s more fun to share your journey with others!! You’ll be surprised by how willing people are to help you shred the love.
All participants will receive:
- Sponsor goodie bag and (2) raffle tickets for Friday Kick-Off Party (must be present to win)
- Commemorative “Skate the River/Lake/Coast” series shirt
- If you reach the $50 goal, we will provide you with a waiver at the registration party or email it to you before the event
