Breast Cancer Awareness Month

For National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) the Roarockit Skateboard Company is going to donate 25% of all sales on our Pink dye-infused colour veneers to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF).

Cancer affects the lives of everyone around us, and we are extremely proud to help support an organization like the CBCF – which not only helps to raise awareness in our community, but is also a trusted resource to the international medical community.

From the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation website:

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian women over the age of 20. It is a complex disease that requires an evidence-based approach and multi-faceted research that investigates how to reduce the incidence of breast cancer, how to improve the quality of life for those living with the disease and how to reduce mortality so that more women survive the disease. 

Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is the leading community-driven organization in Canada dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer. Our investments in innovative and relevant research and education have led to progress in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care. Since 1986, we have been at the forefront of a nationwide movement supporting and advocating for the breast cancer community.

To help skateboard builders get their hands on these vibrant Pink veneers, for the month of October we have created a special 10-Pack of both our Longboard sized (12"x40") and Street Deck sized (10"x35") Pink veneers. These limited time bundles will come with 10 sheets of veneer each, and do not need to be ordered with other veneer packs for shipping.

 

And as always, you can choose to order single sheets of Pink, in both sizes, along with other veneer packs. So for example, if you were planning to order a standard 2 Deck x 7 Layer (14 sheets) Longboard Veneer pack, why not add on a single sheet of Pink infused veneers and we will donate 25% of that sale to a great cause!

If skateboard building is not your thing, we encourage you to get involved during National Breast Cancer Awareness month any way possible. There are always lots of great events and fundraising oppourtunities available in your community, so stay active and spread the stoke!

DIY SK8

With over 10 yrs of experience helping people handcraft their own custom decks, Roarockit is now offering their DIY SK8 classes to a new generation of builder.

Introducing the NEW Roarockit Certified program!

 Located at: 880 Millwood Rd. Toronto, ON - M4G 1X1

These classes are suitable for anyone 13+ and can be finished in (2) 3 hour sessions OR (3) 2 hour sessions. We will work with you to schedule times for your build dates, and can make custom arrangements if needed.

As part of this program, we are offering

SEVEN DIFFERENT BOARDS OPTIONS!

There are six different styles of board that we have designed for you to make as part of Levels 1 and 2. In these builds, you will glue, press, cut, sand and finish your board using our mold and outline shape.

Level 1 (all preshaped builds) $220
Level 2 (Advanced builds – Our mold and template) $270

If none of those boards are what you're looking for, you can skip right ahead to our Level 3 class which enables the builder to design their own custom dream deck! You shape the mold, create a custom template for your outline shape and then bring your design to life by pressing and finishing your new board. 

Level 3 (Dream Build) $320

Students will gain experience in different areas of skateboard construction from each level of build.

Complete one board from each of the three levels of builds to earn a 10% discount card (good for skateboard building materials from the Roarockit Skateboard Company for life!) and become officially 'Roarockit Certified'. This shows everyone that you're an accomplished and knowledgeable board builder... and is a pretty cool certificate to hang proudly on your wall!

Check out our new Facebook page for class specific information, news and events. We are also planning to offer some unique classes for the upcoming year with some special guest instructors, so stay tuned!
