Mark your calendars! There’s only one spot on your calendar for something so huge so cross our the release of the new Miley Cyrus movie. Cross out the Jonas Brothers concert. And most definitely cross out your quinceanera because on June 21, skateboarders around the globe will celebrate the pure exhilaration, creativity, and spirit of one of the most influential activities in the world by blowing off all other obligations to go skateboarding! GO SKATEBOARDING DAY!
Not enough do we give ourselves the extra time we need to just skate. So let’s this be a therapeutic experience for yourself as well.
Skateboarders everywhere will hold fundraisers, contests, protests, demo’s, they’ll skate across cities, gather in skateparks, stream into their local skate shop and some will even revel in the solitary act of skateboarding alone, all bringing together the skateboarding community in the grind heard around the world.
Go to the Go Skateboarding Day site for a list of events around the country. And if there’s nothing going on in your area, be a self-starter and create something for yourself. Even if it means you’re going to be a loner for a day because remember, you deserve this therapeutic experience.
Oh, and if you want to read a press release about it all, check out one posted here on ESPN.
