This month we celebrate YSAs one year anniversary.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our mission —our Sponsors, action sports families, volunteers, donors, community partners, and advocates. What started as a shared vision has grown into a strong community dedicated to creating opportunities, building connections, and supporting skateboarding , BMX , skating and scootering in Youngstown.

This first year , has been filled with hard work, progress, and unforgettable moments. None of it would have been possible without the passion and commitment of those who believed in this project from the beginning and those who joined us along the way.

As we look ahead, we're excited to continue growing, serving our community, and working toward an even brighter future for action sports in Youngstown.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here's to our one year anniversary —and many more to come!
