We hit 100 signatures in about 12 hours!

I am grateful for all of your support and comments on the petition – thank you.

Because we hit the 100-signature goal so quickly, Change.org has automatically stretched the goal to 200.

Can we do it?

100 is fantastic, especially in that short timeframe.

And not one to shy away from a challenge, I think we can get to 200.

You are probably thinking what can you do more now you have signed…

If you haven’t shared the petition yet – this would help a lot.

Let me illustrate:

The petition analytics says we are currently getting a 18% conversion rate of views of the petition to signatures of the petition – in other words about 1/5 people who view the petition sign it (and probably a lot of those views are me eagerly refreshing the page to see how many have signed)!

This is phenomenal as the Change.org guidelines say “most petitions receive around 1 supporter for every 25 views” which equates to 4%.

We are doing 5 times better than this average.

Now, the petition analytics says there have been 51 shares of the petition (out of the 132 signatures).

We have room to move with sharing and you don’t just need to do it once - there are so many channels you can share the petition on.

Change.org makes it easy to share via their buttons to:

1. Facebook (your personal wall, or a skater, scooter and rider group you are part of);
2. Twitter;
3. WhatsApp; and
4. Email and target individual skater, scooter and rider friends.

You can copy the link (https://www.change.org/VertSnotDead) to:

1. SMS and target individual skater, scooter and rider friends;
2. Put it in your Instagram bio for 24 hours accompanied by an Instagram Story or Post;
3. Put it in your TikTok bio;
4. Put it in your YouTube bio;
5. And so on…

Or simply tell skaters and riders at the next skatepark you visit.

Every small action counts, and this can’t be done without you.

Yours faithfully,

Orren Prunckun
