Ride On, It’s Go Skateboarding Day!

It’s June 21^st which marks the official Go Skateboarding Day! It’s not like skaters have ever needed an excuse to get their shred on, but to have a day dedicated to the thrill of the sport just makes it all the more special. Marking the 14^th annual celebration of this official holiday of skateboarding, skaters across the world will show their love for skating by attending skate events, skating across cities, hanging out at skate parks and exchanging ideas on how to find new ways to defy the laws of gravity.

Go Skateboarding Day began on June 21^st 2004 as a way for skateboarders to take a day off from all other obligations and revel in skate culture. Starting out from a few simple skate sessions and barbeque parties held in Southern California, the movement spread across the world to form a cooperative of decentralized events taking place around the globe. Formalised by the International Association of Skateboard Companies, this worldwide holiday brings together people of all colours, creeds, beliefs and attitudes who share a love for skateboarding. From skate park eagles to street carvers, skaters around the world create their own events and start their own traditions to celebrate skateboarding and the culture that it embodies.
