Give Back Friday - two years supporting the community

Two years ago, SkatePro initiated the GIVE BACK program, an initiative that supports various projects related to action sports. Black Friday this year is no different, as we will donate 5% from every order made on November 25th to charity.
Please find the current supported Give Back Friday projects below:
