Go Skateboarding Day is for everyone, whether or not you’re a skater. Here are 10 skate-related activities to engage yourself in. Have fun!
Straatosphere will be launching a skate film in July 2016 too, so keep your eyes peeled!
This Saturday, June 25th, Singapore’s skate community will be gathering at Somerset Skate Park for a day of fun and activities. There will be paper shoe workshops conducted by the Tell Your Children art collective, free skate lessons from full-time coaches, a photo exhibition, waffles station and an hour-long, “Cash for Tricks Skate Jam” led by members of the skate community!
Stand out in a sea of skateboards with a spanking new one-of-a-kind skate deck. There are plenty of skateboard customizers out there, such as BoardPusher and Whatever Skateboards, that have pretty dope designs for you to choose from. For something a little more bespoke, hit up SBTG (he’s a skater too) and have him customize one for you!
Can’t bear to dump that beat-up skate deck which has a ton of fond memories attached to it? With some skills, you can turn it into a new deck that will serve you well for a couple of years more, before you lay it to rest on the skate deck Hall of Fame.
Besides brushing up on tried-and-tested moves, why not take this opportunity to learn some slick new tricks? Skateboardhere has over 300 tricks with easy-to-learn steps that will bump up any novice’s skill level.
Remember those friends you made at the skate park years ago? Now would be a good time to reunite for a skateabout. There’s nothing quite like bonding with like-minded fellas over some friendly competition and a catch-up session.
Ditch the car or bicycle and explore the city like never before, revisiting your favorite skate haunts and other iconic landmarks. While you’re at it, make some jaw-dropping moves…just don’t get caught!
While you’re at it, take it up a notch and attack the steep hills. If you feel the need for speed, but want to avoid the spills that come with an uncontrolled descent, follow this nifty tutorial to learn how to carve down the hill in style.
For all your dads (and moms) who have been putting off teaching your kids how to skate, Go Skateboarding Day’s the perfect time to wipe the dust off your trusty board and impart the basics to the young ones. There’s nothing like parent-child bonding over swerves and flips.
