Six years ago I was reading an article about young man whom had been hit and killed by a car while practicing for an upcoming Skateboarding Downhill Gravity Sporting Competition. Not only did this young man lose his life but the elderly woman whom was driving, shared, how her life would never be the same as she felt responsible for the crash albeit the accident that it so obviously was. She shared how she has nightmares of the incident and how she no longer felt comfortable driving her automobile any longer especially along the road where the accident had occured less then 4 blocks from her home of thirty years. How horrible she feels about the entire incident. 

My name is James Hawkins and my partners and I have created an alternative sport to effectively deal with a situation that is becoming more and more problematic.  Here in the United States an incredibly talented grouping of athletes which is virtually untapped is starving for a sport that they can participate in safely. They are the American Skateboarder. The skateboarder has caught a lot of grief, have been barred from this sidewalk and that street for an awfully long time. This grouping of athletes has suffered enough and has been black listed unjustly and in my opinion, undeservingly. The truth is the average skater has spent more time practicing Ollies, Kicks and Flips for a longer period of time and in a more focused manner than any other baseball, football, or tennis player has yet. They never had a venue available to compete in. Think about it, would any other athlete practice himself to perfection and then not want to compete, to never even race a Saturday or Sunday game let alone a Super Bowl Sunday, only the hopes of someday competing in a Downhill Gravity Race a sport that at best will have a safe place on race day to race on but the necessary practice needed only afforded on mountain roads with no protection from any of the risks of practicing on a road built specifically for cars and not even a thought of a skateboarder using such to hone his or her skills on. My partners and I have gone to great lengths developing an electric racing skateboard. named the X-Calibur, The Worlds First and Only Patented Full Race Skateboard. Built for Velodrome tracks complete with paramedics. This brand new sport is turning heads and is already saving lives. We need your help to continue developing the necessary facilties to accomodate our new sport that new sport being the Powered Skateboard Racing League.  Coupled with the 5 year old regulating body of this fantastic new sport the NAPSR will join hands with the business community and the political parties to help redefine the usages for Bicycle Velodromes and pushing for the redefinig of their usages as a multi-purposed racing and training facility to be shared with other sports like our skateboard racing league. Everyone knows that we will need to be positively represented and lobbyists will be necessary to counter the weak minded, selfish atmosphere displayed by the managements of the 27 velodromes currently in existence and in charge of the public facilities today. Join the cause to save lives and sponsor the activities of the NAPSR, The National Association Of Powered Skateboard Racing is a sport with allready proven appeal and the need has never been greater with over 11 million skaters just in the US alone. This untapped pool of deserving athletes needs your help. The skateparks was a great step foward but lets face some of the most respected athletes in the world owe there fame and careers to organized sports and that is what the NAPSR stands for.
