SUPPORT MONTANA SKATEBOARDING
The 2026 Deck Show was a hit!
Hosted by Montana State University and Bozeman High School, the Deck Show brought together over 80 artists who transformed skateboard decks into incredible works of art, all to support the Ennis and Bozeman skateparks.
The event highlighted the powerful connection between skateboarding, art, and community, with students, local artists, and skaters filling the room to celebrate creativity and support Montana skateboarding.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, bid on artwork, and helped make the night such a success!
Special thanks to Deserae Mann of In Time Photography for capturing the evening so beautifully.

WINTER SKATE NIGHTS
From the Ground Up...
The roots of SAM run deep in Montana — from early contests to the rise of new concrete.
But for years, the energy faded. Now, under new leadership, SAM is back — and we’re turning up the volume. Our mission is simple: connect skateboarding, art, and music to build stronger, more creative communities. From local events and skate clinics to documentary storytelling and park expansions, we’re laying the foundation for the next generation. One city at a time.
Every dollar makes a difference. Your support helps us build new skateparks, run youth clinics, and create inclusive community events.
We’re always looking for volunteers, artists, instructors, and partners to help run events, teach kids, and bring new ideas to life. Whether you’re behind the camera or behind a clipboard — there’s a role for you here.
The Skateboarding Alliance of Montana (SAM) empowers communities through skateboarding. From new parks to youth programs, we’re creating spaces where people of all back-grounds can roll, connect, and grow — on and off the board.
![📰 Big news from @msuexponent!
Bozeman skaters are showing up in force to support a new generation of skateparks. 🛹
Shredtember 2025 brought together hundreds of skaters, artists, families, and community members — proving how strong and creative our scene really is.
“We’re trying to build more safe skate spaces for the Bozeman community.”
“Skateparks are for everyone — they build grit, resilience, and connection.”
Bozeman’s only public skatepark at Kirk was built 25 years ago, when the population was a third of what it is today. With the loss of the BYEP park this summer, it’s time to push for the next phase.
💥 SAM’s goal: raise $100,000 by June to demonstrate the community’s support for a new park.
No donation is too small — and no talent is too niche. Whether you’re an artist, musician, builder, or skater, there’s a place for you in this movement.
Huge thanks to @msuexponent and BURT BALA for helping tell this story and to everyone who made Shredtember what it is.
