Ojai Dominates Central Coast Skateboarding

The Ojai Seniors did it again this past Saturday at the NHSSA Region 1 competition at SkateLab. Erickson, Gabriel, Sessing and O’Brien all skated in top form inching out the competition by two points and taking the Regional title for the year.
The Ojai Sophomores continue to hold their own among the southland’s best skaters. The 10th grade crew finished 4th overall in the north of LA region and qualified to go onto the NHSSA finals June 20th.

Eric Koston and the Ojai Skate Team

The 2008 Ojai Skate Team and Eric Koston at the Dear Lodge - a great surprise at their end of season celebrations.
Thank You - TOGETHER WE DID IT!
With your help and support together we raised $361,000 to build a 10,000 sq. ft. permanent inground concrete skate park in
its current location in Ojai.
It has been a busy 6 months of grassroots fundraising and events. We’ve been fortunate to meet so many amazing local residents, local businesses and skate companies that have generously supported every single thing we organized to raise $350,000 in six months for the skate park.
One of the remarkable things about all the events we put together in the past six months is that each one was organized by volunteers and put together with no budget. Not one penny of the donated money to SKATE OJAI has been spent to put together any of the fundraising events. How many non-profits can say that?Click Here to Download Full Thank You PDF and 6 month Timeline or Read More »
