United Skateboard Association

  United Skateboard Association was the parent of the legendary "Beast of the EAST" and "GROM" skateboard contest series. Many of the top current professional and amatuer skateboarders in the world came through this nationwide touring series. We would travel from Maine to Georgia and out to Chicago then coordinated with other regional tours and the KC Projects tour in Canada to send their best riders to then create a true North American Championship circuit to which has not been repeated since. Additionally we would do other events such as the "Core Tour", "Hell Fest", Tony Hawk tours etc. for various groups in various capacities.. This was the brainchild of T. Eric Monroe to which I learned many things being out on this tour and working with this group on other promotions.
