Pour It Now is a non-profit organization dedicated to building concrete skateparks in South Carolina. It was founded by Ryan Cockrell. Pour It Now received national attention, when a story about Charleston, SC made it on to CNN. The interview is posted on CNN.com and can be accessed through our website. Pour It Now is already making headway in Columbia and Charleston, but the vision does not stop there. The ultimate goal is to get concrete skateparks built in every neighborhood. To support the cause, please visit www.pouritnow.com and get involved.
