FREE DELIVERY ON ORDERS OVER $75*
Fast Times is Australia's premier skateboard retailer with multiple stores across Australia.
In 2021 we began our Reusable Bag Program to move away from the old style free plastic bag with purchase, and instead transition to a reusable option.
In addition to the environmental benefits we were most excited to implement a dedicated charity program that would allow us to partner with charities to support our communities in times of crisis as well as support causes close to our hearts.
Through the purchase of every Fast Times Reusable Bag, our customers are giving back to their communities in amazing ways! Check out our latest charity partner and previous partners below!
CURRENT CHARITY PARTNER:
For the months of September and October 2024, all profits from the sale of our reusable shop bags will be going to Heart On My Sleeve (HOMS).
HOMS is a not-for-profit organisation which focuses on positive behaviour change which empowers people to speak up when they’re struggling and be real about how they feel. Through educational content, community campaigns, sharing stories and hosting sharing circles they hope to eradicate shame and loneliness associated with mental health, boost human connectivity and reduce suicide globally.

STORIES:
Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa) Skatepark
Following on from our donation to the team at Spinifex Skateboards, in 2023 we partnered with Spinifex again this time raising $20,000 to help contribute to the Ltyentye Apurte Skatepark in Ltyentye Apurte Community/Santa Teresa, 80kms southeast of Mparntwe/Alice Springs on Eastern Arrernte Country. These funds will contribute to further development of the park in the near future which will include rubber matting, landscaping and shade!
We were stoked to send a few of our team up for the grand opening of this skatepark, check out the clip here:
Congratulations to Nicky 'Skateboard' Hayes and Spinifex Skateboards as well as all involved in making this project come to life: Grind Projects, East By West Co, Central Land Council and AAAC.
Thank you for extending a warm welcome to our team at the opening event!
For our first round of donations, we worked with our good friends @spinifexskateboards. All profits from bag sales between September 21st and December 31st 2021 went directly towards Spinifex's ongoing initiatives of supporting the young people of the remote Northern Territory Community of Ltyentye Apurte (Santa Teresa).
We were stoked to be able to raise a total of $15,000 to enable Nicky Hayes and the Spinifex team to continue providing youth in Ltyentye Apurte with free skate lessons, skate park improvements and skate trips.
