For skaters
Concrete doesn't
give an inch.
Park, street, vert and travel. GME ACTION members get access to coordinated medical transportation and travel-related benefits when a slam becomes an emergency.
Medical transportation membership. Not health insurance.
Serious member benefits. Surprisingly affordable.
Preparation
You replace what wears out.
- Decks.
- Wheels and bearings.
- Griptape.
- Shoes, constantly.
- Helmet.
- Wrist guards.
- The trip to a new park.
- The session.
You can't replace the ride to the hospital.
Skating breaks things you can buy again, and occasionally things you can't. Membership is for the second kind of day.

Last try of the night.
A big set.A rolled ankle turns into a head knock.Nobody has a car.
Most slams cost you skin. The rare one costs an ambulance ride, a trauma workup and — if you were traveling — a way home.
- Getting an ambulance to the spot
- Reaching an appropriate facility
- Head-injury transfer to a trauma center
- Being hurt in another city
- The trip home
- The rest of the trip
- Your crew
GME ACTION is designed to provide eligible members with medical transportation and related assistance benefits when situations like this occur, subject to the Member Agreement.
The slam is free.
The ride isn't.

Built for skateboarding
However you skate
Street and transition are both part of what the program was designed around.
Participation in an activity is not automatically disqualifying solely because the activity involves inherent risk.
Eligibility and benefits remain subject to the GME ACTION Member Agreement and any applicable participation requirements. Eligible event and competition participation is subject to membership terms, and professional, paid, sponsored or specially sanctioned participation may require additional approval, conditions or disclosure — contact us before joining so we can confirm what applies to you.
The difference
This is not health insurance.
It does something different.
Health insurance
Generally helps address:
- Doctors
- Hospitals
- Treatment
- Medical procedures
- Healthcare expenses
GME ACTION
Focuses on eligible:
- Medical transportation
- Emergency transportation
- Transportation assistance
- Repatriation
- Return transportation
- Travel-related assistance benefits
GME ACTION is designed to complement your existing preparation — not replace health insurance.
Transportation risk
Head injuries change the destination
A suspected head or spine injury doesn't go to the nearest clinic — it goes to a trauma center, sometimes by air, sometimes hours away.
Average air-ambulance charges vary widely by distance, aircraft and region; figures cited are based on publicly reported U.S. billing data and are illustrative only.

The distance problem
Skate trips end up in other cities. An injury there is a logistics problem, not just a medical one.
Worth knowing
- Head injuries are the reason helmets matter in bowls even when nobody else is wearing one.
- On a trip, the biggest cost is often getting home, not the treatment.
Not just when you're riding.
Benefits apply to a qualifying serious illness or injury, not only to injuries that happen during your sport.
