Skate4Concrete is all about showing you that there's more than one path to a successful career—especially in the hands-on world of concrete, where every day can be as exciting as building a skatepark.
Through S4C, you'll discover how skateparks are designed and why skateboarding relies so heavily on concrete. You'll also get a taste of what a career in this dynamic industry could look like. It's not just about riding; it's about creating spaces where riders can thrive.

As an S4C participant, your class will have the chance to enter in the Mini Concrete Skatepark Competition—make sure to read the guidelines & parameters throroughly!
