ABOUT SBSX
- We are passioned about skateboarding, this is what connects us and drives us forward. We see ourselves as a solid partner for the creation of community driven skateboard solutions.
Over the last 10 years we have built over 50 parks and became pretty experienced in navigating the municipality, permit and construction processes, as well as organizing community input meetings and collaborations with local stakeholders to develop the best solutions.
From one skate-able feature to a 45.000 sqft facility, we have vast experience and enjoy to be challenged.
JONATHAN 'JONER' STRAUSS
Founder & CEO SBSX, LLC.
Joner has built over 50 skateparks over the last 10 years, mainly as a contractor for cities. And this is what sparked the idea, learning that the impact of skateparks on communities are tremendous, though when not designed, programmed or activated correctly the parks are only relevant for some skateboarders, not a broader community or a new generation of skateboarders.
In 2013 he created the governing body for long distance skating, SkateIDSA and the world famous 24 Hour Ultraskate. As well as a skateboard curriculum known as the SBSX Academy.
In 2022 Jonathan ‘Joner’ Strauss opened Skatebird Miami with the mission to create a new breed of skateparks, All-in venues fueled by experiences and geared to cross-generation skateboarders.

VISION
For ages the majority of communities and schools have traditional sports facilities and programs; football, basketball, playgrounds, etc.. In the meantime skateboarding grew from a counter culture activity into an Olympic sport. Impacting generations positively. We believe that the majority of communities, schools and recreational zones must have a skateboard park or at least some features, for all the generations to come, to be able to skate in a safe and progressive way. And, continue spreading creative and positive impact.
