The USSEA Community Forum is a moderated space for skateboarding education and community connection. Forum posts are user-generated. USSEA does not independently verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or safety of forum content. A certification, professional title, moderator role, or profile badge does not make a post official USSEA guidance unless it is clearly labeled “Official USSEA Information.”

Children may participate only through an approved youth account connected to a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian must complete all required consent before a minor’s account is activated and must supervise children who are too young to use the forum independently.

Do not share a child’s full name, birthdate, school, home address, phone number, email address, password, current location, medical records, private messages, or other private or identifying information. Photos, videos, or audio identifying a child may be shared only when expressly permitted by USSEA and approved by the child’s parent or legal guardian.

Adults must not request or engage in private one-on-one communication with a minor. Communications between adults and minors must remain open and visible to the minor’s parent or legal guardian or another authorized USSEA adult.

Information shared in the forum is for general community and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, coaching, or individualized safety instruction. Skateboarding involves risks, including serious injury, permanent disability, and death. Do not rely solely on forum posts when making medical, training, equipment, or safety decisions. Use appropriate protective equipment and supervision, stay within your abilities, and consult a qualified healthcare professional about an injury or medical condition.
