So, a little over a year after Shred for Life 2, I launched the United Skateboarding Association (U.S.A.), an amateur skateboard contest series, initially just in the Northeastern United States. The first year was a starting point. I started with the contact list and a homemade event flyer that told the message of what I was trying to create.
Months after the event, the original producer of Shred for Life let me know they would not be doing the event again. For some reason, I felt the urge to take on the event and produce it myself. For me, it would confirm that there was still an interest in the marketplace for amateur events. If the amateur community wanted to develop, I could give them the opportunity.
