    Season 3 Episode 8 - Giving the Gift of Skateboarding with 512 Skate Project

    In this episode I interview Sean Haines, the founder of 512 Skate Project. What started out as giving a few boards from his collection to some kids who wanted one for Christmas has turned into a full blown non-profit. In partnership with 100% Skateboarding Sean and the 512 Skate Project crew have helped many kids be able to enjoy Christmas with a good quality skateboard. In some cases these kids have gone on to become sponsored skateboarders and changing the trajectory of their lives.   Follow the 512 skate project on instagram at: 512_sk8_project
