Welcome to the SYNDICATE
ABOUT US
I usually never read these so I will make this brief(ish)...
THE "WHO"
- We are a collective of dream chasers. Life is a priceless endeavor and kids nowadays are hopelessly possessed by the screens that run the world. What if kids around the world could be inspired to appreciate life for what it is and have a community to nurture this feeling? That's our mission. Grow the sport of skim boarding on a global scale and use it as a vehicle to positively influence the youth around the world to appreciate every second on this earth.
- LIVE FAST. TOUCH GRASS. CHASE YOUR DREAMS.
THE "WHY"
- My name is Josh and I struggled with severe mental health problems growing up. The right role models were hard to come by and the only environment I felt comfortable was my bedroom when I was alone. Being 13 I felt that there was no reason to live anymore (way too damn young to start thinking this way.)
- My friends saved my life.
- I was shown a side of life where sunrises could calm any emotional turmoil. I was shown a side of laughter and motivation to be better I didn't know existed. Skim boarding is what we bonded over. I want to bring this to the world. This is for the kids that have rough home life, no friends, negative role models, an addiction to their screen, or a somber outlook on life.
THE "WHAT"
- This company host skim meets, competitions, and builds communities. The sport is being sold short... YES I am calling every big company out right now. I personally have pulled at least two all-nighters a week for the past three months in addition to working a full time job to make sure that this company may be a vehicle of positive influence for everyone. I've studied the industry and there are very obvious examples where some people running everything (not all of them) are rather corrupt in their business practice.
- (For parents) This is not Disney. However we motivate each other to be better every single day: read more, learn to cook, get off the screen, lead a clean/sober lifestyle, hit the gym, treat people with kindness and live for you. LIVE FOR YOUR HAPPINESS... not validation. As a result of this energy I have the confidence in myself to dive head first into developing this company with a mission to positively influence the world and take care of the people I love.
