SF BAY AREA CHAPTER
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we live, work, and skateboard on Huchiun, the traditional and unceded land of the first people of Oakland, the Lisjan and Muwekma Ohlone People and many other Indigenous communities who call the San Francisco Bay Area home. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people past, present, and future who have sustained relationships with it for thousands of years. In spite of federal, state, and local policies of genocide, Indigenous communities continue to exist, thrive and care for lands across the Bay Area. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy, acting in solidarity with Native communities, and supporting Indigenous sovereignty and rematriation. One way we suggest taking action in honor of Ohlone peoples is to give shuumi–pay a voluntary land tax to the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust. We encourage our community to self educate, share out and donate to Indigenous led efforts; including Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, Friendship House SF, American Indian Child Resource Center, Turtle Island Skateboard Project. Also, visit this link to learn what Native land you occupy.

ADULT WORKSHOPS
|
Ready to reconnect with your body, community, and creativity? Join us for a one-of-a-kind workshop designed specifically for queer, women, trans, non-binary, and/or gender expansive adults at the privately rented Rob’s Skate Academy in Concord. Whether you’re stepping on a board for the first time, rediscovering an old passion, or looking for some fresh tips, this session is what you need! You’ll get hands-on support with fundamentals, make new friends, and gain practical knowledge like gear maintenance and skate lingo—all in a welcoming, judgment-free space. We’ve just added four new Saturday evening sessions from 6–9PM: June 21 July 12 August 23 October 25 (No session in September) This isn’t just about learning tricks (though you’ll definitely pick up a few); it’s about building confidence, connection, and community with others who share your identities and values. Come as you are. Leave with new skills, new friends, and a deeper connection to skateboarding. |
WOMEN &/OR TRANS SESSIONS (weekly)
Women &/or Trans Sessions offer an exclusive space for skateboarders who identify as girls, women &/or trans, non-binary, or gender expansive to build community through skateboarding.
