Safety should never be a barrier to participation. We’re proud to offer the Helmet Helper Safety Gear Subsidy Program — a community-driven initiative helping gravity sports enthusiasts access high-quality safety equipment at affordable prices. We offer assistance through a number of methods such as:

1. Discounted Group Buys:
   We organize periodic group purchases to secure bulk pricing on helmets and protective gear. Riders save significantly by ordering together.

2. Exclusive Partner Discounts:
   Community members receive access to ongoing deals with support from trusted brands in the safety industry — including a current 15% discount from S1 Helmets, a leader in certified skate protection.

3. Full Subsidies for Youth & Riders in Need:
   We also strive to maintain a small fund dedicated to providing free helmets for young riders or community members who are unable to afford safety equipment. Our goal is to ensure that no one is left without proper protection due to financial barriers.

Whether you're new to longboarding or a seasoned downhill skater, this program helps make essential safety gear more accessible.
