Some of skateboarding’s most iconic artists have come together for a powerful fundraiser supporting Montana Pool Service’s mission to build skateparks where they’re needed most.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a one-of-a-kind deck featuring original artwork from legends like Craig Stecyk, Stacy Peralta, Jim Muir, Nora Vasconcellos, Paul Kobriger, and a handful of others—this is your chance. More importantly, it's a great opportunity to support a cause that’s making some real impact, one skatepark at a time. Check the boards below and learn more.

About 'Middle of Nowhere'

Founded by Montanan Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam in 2005, MPS has organized and contributed to over 40 world class skateparks in rural and Native communities in Montana and the Dakotas to date, with five new ones being built this summer.

We sent 100 skateboard decks to artists and friends around the world as far as Japan, Argentina, Thailand, England, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and all over the US, to create all original, one-of-a-kind skateboard works of art. The response has been overwhelming and I hope you find as much joy in seeing these boards as we do!

The boards are available through online auction to have a global audience and raise the most awareness and funding we can to hopefully build another skatepark in a much needed area.

All of these decks are up for grabs in an online auction aimed at reaching a global audience, raising funds, and spreading awareness for the cause. Every bid brings MPS closer to building yet another park in a community that deserves one. Browse the boards here!

We're stoked to see so many familiar names and talented artists in the mix here. This really is pretty epic. Browse the boards, place your bid and spread the news.
