Great story out of Indiana. A middle school brings three skateboarders from Untitled Skateboards to do some stunts, and in return the guys push the stay in school message.

The two skateboarders with Untitled Skateboards did clear the three teachers during their performance Thursday morning, causing students to cheer and roar with applause.

And even though there is a “no skateboarding” sign prominently posted next to the school’s front door, the group was invited to not only display their tricks that get the audience’s attention, but also their message — to stay in school, pursue your dreams and know that your decisions now can change your life.

Events like the one held at Scribner Middle School are a win-win. Skateboarding is presented in front of school officials as something that doesn’t need to be feared or belittled, and that puts the kids at ease. And to have a group perform plus give kids some solid advice about staying on the right path means they’re more likely to accept it, because they admire skaters.
