With the help of 80 professional and non-professional artists, the boards are set up for bidding through the web. With a variety of different designs, graphics, colors, phrases (oh, hell yeah), and more, the [fantastic skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-skateboard-deck) are only available for bid with a beginning price of $50. The 'Ride It' Sculpture Park to be built by Power House Productions in Detroit is benefitting from 100% of the proceeds of the event. Through these funds the park hopes to create not only a space to ride, but also contribute to funding for skateboards for kids who could otherwise not afford them. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Skateboard Art:** Artistic designs on skateboards to raise funds for non-profit skatepark organizations offer potential in the fashion and art industries - **Crowdfunding for Skateparks:** Crowdfunding campaigns for skateparks provide opportunities for non-profit fundraising and community involvement in the construction industry - **Affordable Skateboards for Kids:** Providing access to affordable skateboards for kids from low-income families creates potential partnerships between non-profit organizations and retailers in the sports industry ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Skateboard art designs can be translated into trendy clothing and accessories, creating potential partnerships in the fashion industry - **Construction:** Crowdfunding campaigns and community involvement in the construction of skateparks create opportunities for innovation in the construction industry - **Sports Retail:** Partnering with non-profit organizations to provide affordable skateboards for kids could lead to innovation in the marketing and distribution of sports equipment ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skateboard Design Museum Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateboard-exhibition.md) - [Upcycled Skateboard Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-rpsd.md) - [Iconic Pop Art Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skateroom-x-andy-warhol-foundation.md) - [Skateboarding-Inspired Wood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-green-works.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Arty Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stevie-williams1.md) - [Psychedelic Skateboard Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-psychedelia.md) - [Skate Culture Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bunt-jam.md) - [Commemorative Skateboarding Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harold-hunter.md) - [Skateboard Youth Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-skate-rising.md)
