<p>If you have any tips on how to keep skateboards and safety gear safe from theft and well-maintained, feel free to post them here!<br />
<br />
Some of the things that I've seen skate projects do is:</p>

<ul>
	<li><strong>Get a storage container or lockable&nbsp;room</strong> to store the skate gear in when not in use – and make sure the key is kept with responsible staff or volunteers</li>
	<li><strong>Keep an inventory list </strong>of all your skate equipment, including spare parts. Regularly update it. This will also help you to plan for getting new parts before you run out</li>
	<li><strong>For "loaner boards":</strong> Ask for an ID card or mobile phone to keep until the board is returned</li>
	<li><strong>Don't loan out more boards than you can keep an eye on</strong> and find ways for kids to take turns</li>
	<li><strong>Wash safety gear regularly </strong>– especially in very warm climates</li>
	<li><strong>Do a maintenance check</strong> on boards, helmets etc every couple months and make repairs as needed</li>
</ul>

<p>What's worked for you?</p>
