Spokane, WA · Adaptive sports, shared
Pinecone Adaptive Sports Collective is a gear library. Adaptive equipment is expensive and athletes grow fast, so we keep it on the shelf, fit it to the person, and lend it out by the season.
Every piece on the shelf is waiting for its next athlete.
The gear
Each item is fitted to the athlete who borrows it, tuned between seasons and lent out again. Take it out, use it hard, bring it back — somebody else's first practice is next.
Sit-skis, sport chairs, handcycles, recumbent trikes and tandems. We size them to the athlete, keep them tuned between seasons, and lend them out again. This is the long run of cards — most of what we do lives here.
Outriggers, harnesses, tethers, helmets and the pieces that wear out first. The unglamorous half of a good season, and the half that gets replaced most often.
Sit-skis, outriggers and volunteers who know the mountain. Winter loans go out before the first good snow.
Court time in Spokane, sport chairs included. The chair on our shelf can have your name on it.
Handcycles, recumbents and tandems for the river trail — with somebody riding beside you while you learn the gears.
Ready to borrow? Every loan starts with a fitting, in person, in Spokane.

Nothing here sits pretty. It goes out on the trail, onto the court and up the hill — then it comes back so it can go out again.
The shelf is only worth anything if it moves. Lend it, use it, bring it back — that's the whole system.
How the library works
Four steps, no paperwork mountain. Every item on the shelf follows the same path.
Tell us what you'd like to try and who it's for. We'll match you with equipment and a program that fits.
We size the gear with you in person in Spokane — chairs, sit-skis, handcycles, helmets and all the small parts.
Loans run by the season, so the gear goes wherever the season goes — snow, court, river trail.
Returns refill the shelf. Somebody else's first practice is next week, and their card is already waiting.
Get involved
Volunteers are trained before they're on the hill, the court or the trail, and every borrower starts with a fitting. Same form, either way.
Tell us what you need and we'll take it from there.
We'll reply with the next training date or a fitting time.
Sponsor a card
Recurring gifts pay for the unglamorous parts — repairs, replacement parts, new sizes as athletes grow, and the training that puts a volunteer beside every athlete. A monthly gift is a card that never leaves the shelf.
