OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE -
SKATEBOARDERS WORLDWIDE TO CELEBRATE
6TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL GO SKATEBOARDING DAY ON JUNE 21

Steve Caballero Designs One-of-a-Kind Holiday Poster

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., May 5, 2009 – The countdown continues. With less than two months to go until the 6th Annual International Go Skateboarding Day (GSD), the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) is encouraging skateboarders and skateboarding enthusiasts to celebrate worldwide. The holiday falls on the first day of summer, Sunday, June 21, 2009.

Go Skateboarding Day, founded by IASC, is recognized internationally by skateboarders, skateboard companies and the industry as a whole as an official holiday. Each year the holiday continues to grow exponentially, by both the number of people who celebrate it and the number of events taking place in its honor around the globe.

“We are thrilled at just how big this holiday has grown around the world,” said John Bernards, executive director of IASC and GSD spokesperson. “Skateboarding is slowly, but steadily getting the respect it deserves. We are seeing more towns and cities supporting the healthy, character-building lifestyle through the construction of skateparks, educational programs, events and more. Most recently, California State Senate, President pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg officially recognized June 21, as ‘Go Skateboarding Day’.”

Continuing the artist series of collectable holiday posters, this year IASC enlisted the help of legendary skateboarder and artist Steve Caballero. “I felt honored and blessed when IASC approached me with the opportunity to lend my support,” said Caballero. “My inspiration was to create something with a worldwide message, so that everyone felt included and inspired to celebrate. I want people to understand that to really enjoy the art of skateboarding we must lose all of our insecurities and truly ‘skate like nobody’s watching.’”

bahan Besi sebagai tiang frame selalu digunakan untuk sesebuah ramp namun begitu faktor ketebalan besi adalah penting bagi menjaminkan keteguhan dan ketahanan hentakan sewaktu bermain, alternatif gantian adalah menggunakan tiang kayu berunti yang tahan dan kukuh.

Manakala permukaan ramp adalah menggunakan papan plywood 2 lapisan dengan ketebalan 1/2 inci(minimum) dipermukaan bawah dan plywood dengan ketebalan 1/4 inci atau lebih dipermukaan atas.

Safety tips for using a Skateboard

2009-04-20T19:40:00.000-07:00

Skateboarding safety tips from Publication Number 93 of the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission.

SAFETY TIPS FOR USING A SKATEBOARD

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission offers the following suggestions for safe skateboarding:

Never ride a skateboard in the street.

Don't take chances:

Complicated tricks require careful practice and a specially designed area

Only one person per skateboard

Never grab onto a car, bus, truck or bicycle

Learning how to fall helps reduce your chances of being seriously injured:

If you are losing your balance, crouch down on the skateboard so that you will not have so far to fall.

In a fall, try to land on the fleshy parts ofyour body.

If you fall, try to roll rather than absorb the force with your arms.

Even though it may be difficult, during a fall try to relax your body, rather than stiffen.

Reprinted courtesy of the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission

Skateboarding is a great way to be physically active and develop balance and coordination. Its popularity has been climbing steadily since 1999, and so have the number of injuries resulting from it.

The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) reports that between 1997 and 2001 over 350 school-aged children and youth had skateboard related injuries and that the annual rate of skateboard related injury nearly doubled during that five-year period.

Over half (52 per cent) of the injuries were broken bones and dislocations of the arm or leg.

Seven per cent (7 per cent) were head injuries often the most serious and potentially life altering injuries.

Twenty-one per cent (21 per cent) were strains and sprains and 21 per cent were less serious scrapes, cuts and bruises.

Injury rates increase in youth 13 years of age and up.

Skateboard Parks

Children and youth who skateboard in the streets are at increased risk of being hit by a motor vehicle. The injuries sustained from being hit are typically severe, including head injuries. Skateboard parks are safer places to skateboard. While they remove the risk posed by motor vehicles, they present other risks. The tricks performed on the ramps and rails can lead to injuries, as can colliding with other skateboarders. If you choose to go to a skateboard park:

Go to a supervised skateboard park, or one where an adult/parent is present. If this is not possible, go with a buddy. If an emergency arises, help will be easier to find.

Check out the skateboard park to find out the level of skaters using the park, and if BMX biking (stunt bike riding) or in-line skating occurs. A mixture of activities can be dangerous.

Have a look at the ramps and rails to make sure they are safe and secure. Also check that the riding surfaces are free from holes and debris.

Skateboarding Safety Tips

Immerging research is indicating that skateboarding, when compared to other recreational activities, has a lower rate of injuries. This rate can be even lower by following skateboarding safety tips.

Wear the gear! Get a certified helmet that fits snugly, and is done up tightly under the chin.

Wear elbow and knee pads to prevent scrapes and cuts.

Wear wrist guards to prevent wrist fractures.

Wear slip resistant shoes with a closed toe.

Make sure the skateboard is in good working order (no loose, broken or cracked parts, non-slip surface on board, no sharp edges).

A Note on Helmets

Currently, manufacturers are not required to meet any safety standards for skateboarding helmets. Make sure to get a helmet that meets one of the following standards:

When in a skateboard park, wear a helmet that is American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F-1492 or Snell N-94 certified. They are made for multiple impacts.

A Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) certified helmet is safe for skateboarding (and bicycling), but must be replaced after one major blow to the helmet (which happens often in a skatepark).

Get Trained!

Children should learn how to fall safely. They should also avoid trying to perform tricks beyond their skill level. Many local community and recreational centers in the City of Ottawa run skateboarding camps for various skill levels. Contact a local community centre for more information.
