The presentation was followed by a Q&amp;A and in-depth discussion. The Accessible Skateparks Survey that we did last year inspired this event series. The Goodpush Alliance, Drop In, SEHstern and Sit’n’Skate want to continue their steps to make skateparks more accessible for everyone. The event is for everyone who wants to make their skatepark and/or skate programs more inclusive. Together with our speakers we wanted to give some ideas and inspiration.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>GUESTS:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>New Line Skateparks – Ryan Crane, Kanten Russell, Everett Tetz (USA)</li>\r\n	<li>Alt Route Project – Curtis Ruttle &amp; Matt Janz (Canada)</li>\r\n	<li>Swedish Sports Confederation – Fredrik Angner &amp; Niklas Bostrom (Sweden)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>HOSTS:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>David Lebuser – Sit’n\' Skate / Pro WCMXer</li>\r\n	<li>Linda Ritterhoff – Drop In. e.V. &amp; SEHstern e.V.</li>\r\n	<li>Rhianon Bader – Goodpush Alliance / Skateistan</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n','basic_html'),('post_text',0,252,2320,'en',0,'<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>One of the ways that The Goodpush Alliance aims to support our community is by linking up equipment sponsors with social skate projects that are lacking the skateboards and safety gear they need for their programs.
