The Action Sports Medicine Foundation is a 501(c) 3 non-profit foundation whose mission is to enhance the quality and availability of sports medicine to athletes participating in action sports. The foundation was started in 2003, by Dr. Stephen J. Augustine and is based in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Action Sports Medicine Foundation's goal is to provide a reliable and valid resource for athletes looking to receive sports medicine services, and for the various health care workers interested in providing these services. We will primarily focus our efforts on athletes competing in the sports of motocross, BMX, mountain biking, skateboarding, wakeboarding, and surfing. We believe that quality sports medicine is essential to enable these athletes to continue to compete in their sports, and as our foundation develops, we hope to become a major contributor to the enhancement of sports medicine in the action sports community.

Dr. Augustine is also the physician advisor to the Road 2 Recovery Foundation and has been providing medical coverage for the AMA Supercross and Motocross series as a staff member of the Asterisk Mobile Medical Center since 2001.

Dr. Augustine enjoys participating in all action sports particularly motocross, as well as jet skis, wake boards, snowboards and mountain bikes. He is actively involved in sports medicine research and has presented lectures at national meetings. He enjoys working with action sports athletes and getting them back into competition.
