<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>In 2020 we received answers from 117 skateboarding projects working in 61 countries worldwide – </span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>who reach a combined 21,000 participants each week</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span>.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>The purpose of this annual survey (running since 2018) is to better understand and document the aims, impact and activities of the social skateboarding world.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>This year’s report is special, however, because it provides a snapshot into how COVID-19 has impacted the social skateboarding sector. Unsurprisingly, 97% of projects surveyed were negatively affected by the pandemic. However many noted positive effects as well, with nearly one quarter of projects expanding their scope to support the basic needs of their participants.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
