Support The MSA
Please join us to celebrate the completion of Madness in the Mountains, Montana's first-ever statewide skate challenge!
The Montana Skatepark Association (MSA) is a unique organization because we are all skaters and skate enthusiasts. We have the skill set that allows us to help communities negotiate the seemingly countless details involved in skatepark construction and programming. We know what works and what doesn’t.
We’re passionate about the free, recreational opportunities that skateparks provide. We feel that skateboarding is a healthy, recreational activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages both as participants and as spectators. Skateboarding equipment is inexpensive and the facilities, once built, require very little maintenance.
Since 2000, the MSA has grown into a professional, experienced and committed organization providing support, consulting and funding for Montana communities who are looking to expand their recreational opportunities. We are 100% volunteer based and every dollar that comes into our organization is spent on building skateparks and skateboarding communities.
Please read our history to get an idea of how we came to be and where we are headed. If you are a representative of a community in Montana that is considering the addition of a skatepark or adding programming to an existing park, please contact us. We’re here to help.

What is Madness In The Mountains (MITM)?
MITM is a statewide fundraiser and skateboard challenge happening all across Montana beginning on June 21, 2024 and running through August 18, 2024. It is a project created by the Montana Skatepark Association (MSA), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization who has been funding and building free, concrete, public skateparks in Montana for over 20 years. To date, the MSA has contributed over $2 million dollars to skateboarding in Montana.
MITM is made up of two main components: A (friendly) competitive fundraiser and a (friendly) competitive skate challenge. Participants may engage in one or the other portion, but participation in both is highly encouraged.
