Introduction
SPAUSA
was started in 1996 in Santa Monica by Heidi
Lemmon and a group of skaters.
The original
goal was to get a local SkatePark. In doing so SPAUSA acquired
a great deal of information and soon other skaters and cities
were calling, asking for help. We put together a packet, a SkatePark
directory, and an advisory board. The biggest problem that we
kept running into was the insurance and liability issue; if you
could get insurance, it was expensive and it had high deductibles.
We now have excellent programs for staffed parks, unstaffed parks,
contests, demos, camps and instruction.
We currently
provide free of charge:
• INFORMATION
TO CITIES, PRESS, AND INDIVIDUALS

FOR GROUPS IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET A PARK
