This is a very exciting time for slalom skateboarding and the U.S. Slalom Skateboarding Federation, because the potential for success is greater now than it ever has been. With issues ahead such as regional amateur racing programs, rules standardization, and volunteer coordination programs to support national racing events, it is extremely important for slalom skateboarders of all interest levels, from across the country, to become involved with the USSSF (get used to saying “U, triple-S, F… it’s easier that way!).
It is equally important that those who have supported the USSSF with their membership dues make an additional effort to support the organization with some time and effort too. That time and effort needn’t be as demanding as serving on the Board of Directors or a committee. The efforts and interests of the U.S. Slalom Skateboarding Federation can be well served by the committed reading of all USSSF materials that you receive, understanding the intentions, issues and direction that the organization is taking, informed voting for members of the Board of Directors (when that option comes to fruition) and communication of your concerns to those directors whom you’ve elected.
What the U.S. Slalom Skateboarding Federation needs right now is money. I’ve made no bones about this fact elsewhere, and I’m going to re-assert it now. We are actively seeking major benefactor to distinguish themselves as part of the USSSF’s Charter Member Program, but that is very slow going. That’s unfortunate, because the Charter Member Program is a limited-time offer and I’d hate to see the opportunity pass with nobody getting involved.
Of course, while this has been going on, it has been pointed out to me that there are people out there who do wish to make contributions to launching the U.S. Slalom Skateboarding Federation, but don’t necessarily have the financial independence to be contributing capital funds. Apparently these contributions amount to a figure that is not insignificant to our purposes, so I am initiating the Launch Ramp Program. Not knowing how much funding we will have on hand the day we commence our first membership year, January 1, 2003, there is very little we can promise in return for Launch Ramp contributions. All I can really do is promise that EVERY person making a contribution to the USSSF’s Launch Ramp Program will have his or her name listed here, as well as in Volume 1, Issue 1 of the USSSF’s first major magazine-type publication.
As directed by the Executive Committee of the USSSF, I have now created a PayPal account under the name:
contributions@usssf.org
Please feel free to direct your contributions to the USSSF Launch Ramp Program to that PayPal account, or make your check payable to:
