ABOUT INSPIRE NATION SKATE CO.
Inspire Nation Skate Co. is a Christ-centered skateboarding brand and outreach movement designed to equip, encourage, and empower teens through faith, creativity, and community. Blending skate culture with mental health awareness and spiritual truth, we provide a safe space for youth to grow emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—on and off the board.
Through community events, skate lessons, storytelling, and our original products like The Rebel Journal, we give young people tools to discover who they are and who God created them to be. Whether it’s through a skate session at the park or a conversation after a fall, our mission is simple: to inspire a change in direction.
What We Skate For
At Inspire Nation Skate Co., our mission is fueled by more than just the board beneath our feet. We skate with purpose, guided by five values that shape our faith-driven movement:
S – Stand in Truth: Ground everything in the Gospel and live with integrity and boldness.
K – Know Your Worth: Understand your identity in Christ and that your story matters.
A – Act in Love: Build others up, choose empathy, and lead with grace on and off the board.
T – Transform Adversity: Use your pain, trials, and setbacks as fuel for growth and testimony.
E – Elevate Others: Encourage, disciple, and lift others up in faith and life.
About the Founder
Since 2007, Spade has embraced skateboarding as both a passion and a source of belonging—a constant in his ever-changing life. Growing up moving between California cities and split homes, he learned to adapt early while quietly struggling with deep emotional pain.
After surviving two suicide attempts and battling depression and anxiety, Spade found hope and purpose through his relationship with Christ. Today, he empowers teens to overcome their own challenges, teaching mental health, emotional intelligence, and self-discovery, and inspiring them to transform adversity into opportunity.
