We kind of missed the boat on this one, but today is “Go Skateboarding Day”, check out the website at www.goskateboardingday.org. On the site it says:
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!
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.
Um, ok, maybe we’ll just go for a skate if it’s not raining?? 😉 Or an impromptu bert slide contest?
UPDATE:
I went for a skate on the way home from work and it seemed more like ’Don’t Go Skateboarding Day’!!! No one there skating! Although one guy did show up after I’d been there 45 minutes!
No skateboarding happening here!
