Skateboarding means different things to different people. Just think about it, you can think of skateboarding as technical tricks, riding on a vert ramp, or even riding a longboard. But the thing is, skateboarding is everything and so much more. When some people say skateboarding is all about adrenalin while some say it’s an easier way to get around; they mean it. This is because this meaning is true for them.
Some guys think that skateboarding is about discovery and pushing yourself to the limit. For some, it is about freedom because skateboarding brings a sense of “letting go” to them. It is definitely important to realize that every skater has his own drive. So you might wonder? What is skateboarding really all about? Actually, only you can answer that.
One thing to remember though, skaters usually think of each other as family. They understand the pain and passion that comes with skateboarding. After all, how can you become a successful skater without experiencing a few scratches now and then? Skaters also tips, tricks, and news about upcoming skating events. People who have passion for skating definitely understand the love that comes with this sport. But whatever your reason, you can definitely participate in skateboarding events such as the Go Skateboarding Day.
The Go Skateboarding Day is held annually in the 21th of June; although the exact origin of its name is unknown, many believes that it originated because of the “No Skateboarding” signs is often changed to “Go Skateboarding” by skating fans. The holiday was created by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) in order to make skateboarding accessible to different events in major cities worldwide. Beginning its first celebration in 2004, it has then received the Special Congressional Recognition from the United States Congress because of its promotional effect for the sport.
June 21 is like any other day for many people except that they will see around 3,000 kids gather around the streets of Chicago to skate. Meanwhile, several thousand other skaters are also gathering in Love Park, Philadelphia while another thousand takes over the Venice Beach. This is the Go Skateboarding Day and the streets are alive with adrenalin and excitement.
This is definitely the time when you can have a great time with a large number of skaters. There is only a limited number of events that is as recognized as the Go Skateboarding event so skateboarding fans should not miss out on this. It can be an experience they would remember.
