Save Crushed Skate Shop: Support Washington DC's Skate Community

Crushed skate shop has been serving the Washington DC skateboarding scene since 2020. They quickly established themselves as a proper skater-owned shop, even getting the nod for a signature Dunk from Nike SB. Now, they need our help.

From their Go Fund Me :

"Since starting Crushed in January 2020 right before the pandemic started, we’re no stranger to tough times and the pressure that comes along with it. With no stimulus help and starting the shop with almost nothing (If you were there you know) we have always tried our best to keep up with our immediate communities needs and beyond. This has been one of our biggest challenges especially being that we are the only skate shop here in Washington DC. We always believed in building together as a community and our goal has always been to create a sustainable, thriving environment for skateboarding in Washington DC and our surrounding areas. In these past 4 years we have been able to accomplish so much together in a short amount of time. Breaking down stereotypes, opening communication and increasing knowledge with folks outside of our skateboard community, hosting events to bring everyone together, bringing DC its first and very own Nike SB Dunk, encouraging skateboarding to help with mental health/stress/anxiety, fundraisers, protests, my absolute pleasure introducing/reintroducing new and returning people to skateboarding, and so much more.

With your help we are hoping to keep our doors open and continue the work we’ve started well into the future. In these past few months we’ve faced challenges with the prices of boards and hard goods going up, the recent crime in our community for example the shooting that happened in our building. We just haven’t seen the traffic that we’d normally see around this time of year. Our income has decreased to levels that are no longer sustainable.

Any donation would be greatly appreciated and will be used to keep the shop open and continue to provide for our community. Our dedication to serve everyone and create a better environment for skateboarding in Washington DC and beyond has never been stronger. THANK YOU to everyone that has supported us and helped us make it this far to make an impact in the District Of Columbia, metropolitan area, and worldwide! With your help we hope to KEEP PUSHING

Please share with everyone you can, any donations small or large would be a great help."
