Six years ago, our lives took an unexpected turn with the traumatic birth of our daughter Ivy Lee. Faced with the prognosis that she may never walk, talk, or experience cognitive development, we defied the odds with unwavering love and determination. Ivy Lee, once deemed fragile, became the inspiration behind a journey of resilience and growth. In our pursuit of providing Ivy with a life filled with diverse experiences, we discovered her passion for extreme sports during an exhilarating skateboard ride at a local skatepark. Witnessing the fire in her eyes and the joy she experienced prompted us to explore the world of adaptive extreme sports. Attending a conference for kids with brain injuries, we recognized the universal love for vestibular input among children like Ivy Lee. Inspired, we embarked on a mission to create a world-class training facility for Adaptive Extreme Sports—a haven where individuals, regardless of ability or disability, can thrive in the exhilarating world of extreme sports.
Our children are everything to us! Our three oldest have had to sacrifice a lot to make way for Ivy's hospital stays, her medical appointments, her month long therapy trips and so much more. We are NOT perfect, but we're together and always there for each other when it counts. We are so proud of all of our kids, but Brandon, Blaine and Ianna - we appreciate all the times you help, all the things you've missed, the times we missed something and you've been understanding. We appreciate you all loving us and each other through the crazy, the scary, the sad, the hard times and amazing times. This life we live is not easy, but we hope that there's not a single day you ever feel unloved.
Your family is our family! We want everyone that walks through our doors to feel like they're home, because in this life, we should all have people surrounding us and loving us.

Our skate park features a variety of ramps, rails, and obstacles for skaters of all levels as well as different types of tracks. We also have a pro shop stocked with the latest equipment and apparel.

is our innovative therapies, advanced equipment and quality cafe.
We prioritize safety at our skate park and require all skaters -18 to wear helmets and we promote other protective gear. We also have trained staff on site to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Skateboarding is more than just a sport; it's a vibrant community that fosters creativity, inclusivity, and camaraderie. Within skateparks, individuals of all ages and backgrounds come together, united by their passion for skateboarding. Through shared experiences and collaborative efforts, skateboarders build lasting friendships and contribute to a positive, dynamic culture that enriches the entire community.
