Jud is a legend in the skateboard industry. He is one of the first people ever to land a backflip on a skateboard and has competed in just about every major skate contest. He owns his own skateboard brand, Untitled Skateboards, and is widely known as one of the best park builders in the world.
Jud Heald, one of Camp ROYAL’s passionate coaches and outstanding leaders, loves getting to share his skills with kids at camp. Boys and girls, ages 9-17, come from all over the country to spend an exciting week at our West Virginia overnight summer camp.
I would be failing you if I didn’t share this truth - I should be dead, or paralyzed from a gnarly snowboard accident for my 18th. The Lord healed my neck after a long time in a halo not healing and I sought his hand upon me that if I was gonna use skateboarding for him, he would have to make it heal right as I was about to go to a second surgery if it wasn’t healing at my next set of X-rays. Not only was it healing, but it was back perfectly aligned and the surgery was off. The halo came off a few weeks later.
So I will keep using this to share the good news of Jesus!
