help push skateboarding around the world
We believe everyone should have their own "first try"! We are working to expand our ability to help our community and have several large scale projects coming up for this Summer.
About us
We created The First Try Foundation as a resource for people everywhere to get a skateboard, no matter their ability to pay. We want to give back to the skateboarding community, and when more people are skateboarding, everyone in the industry wins.
Special Projects
We love helping the community in any way we can. We’ve given kids skateboards, taught them how to skate, and supplied them with a safe space to learn how to skate. Check oout the Red Lodge Skatepark project and all the other community events we’ve put on below!

We appreciate donations of any amounts. All your funds will be going towards sending skateboards to children in need across the world through after school programs, events & so much more.
Thank you for the support!
We are very sorry, but due to our current resources, boards can only be sent to requests within the continental United States. It is our goal to expand rapidly and be able to supply boards all over the world as soon as possible.
BUy First Try Gear
A portion of the proceeds for the below products will be used to benefit the First Try Foundation and forwarding our mission of pushing skateboarding across the world. Thank you so much for your support!
