HUGE skateboarding contest to take place in English Bay before the @CelebOfLight on Saturday

While we're on the topic of skateboarding today I figured I'd share another video with you.

While we're on the topic of skateboarding today I figured I'd share another video with you. This one documents some of the madness that took over Vancouver's streets on June 21st, which is recognized around the world every year as Go Skateboarding Day.

Another hat tip to Supra Distribution

This coming Saturday might as well be called Go Watch Skateboarding Day, as BC's biggest skateboarding contest is happening at Sunset Beach before the Honda Celebration of Light fireworks. Jamcouver will be hosting 60 of the US and Canada's best skateboarders competing for a $10,000 grand prize.

One of the most interesting things about Jamcouver (to me personally, anyway) is that it's more than a contest; it's actually a piece of a giant fundraising initiative to establish a much-needed, permanent, indoor skateboard park in our city. Learn more at Jamcouver.com and be sure to check it out on Saturday. It's free to watch.
