Some Sick Skateboarding Pictures









Skateboarding is a fun sport

Skateboarding is a fun sport that is played around the world by people of all ages.



Skateboards are manufactured in all different lengths, depending on what the skateboarder wants to do with it. There are various tricks that can be performed on a skateboard, such as aerials, ollies, grinds, kickflip, and spins. Did you know that out of all of the sports played around the world today, skateboarding is ranked number six in terms of popularity and number of participants? In the United States alone, there are more than 300 skateboarding parks. And that number continues to grow daily!





To celebrate today, head over to your local skate park to enjoy some skateboarding. Or if you've never skateboarded before, what better opportunity than today to learn!

Go Skateboarding Day 2010 - Part 1


Coconut Grove Skatepark, Downtown Miami, Fort Lauderdale Beach, BC Surf + Sport, AND Apollo Skatepark...what a day of skateboarding!  The skaters were out...and so were the cops which only scattered skaters to the next spot.  Unfortunately, a few spots in Miami were roped off like Epic 9 and Brickell so we decided to hit up Fort Lauderdale Beach next.






After the beach, went to BC Surf + Sport to keep celebrating and get some gear.  Then, it was off to Apollo Skatepark to finish the day off with a Best Trick contest.  It was awesome seeing everyone!  There had to have been 60+ skaters in attendance.  Whether watching, skating, filming, cheering, or competing, everyone was enjoying it.  Nothing says more about skateboarding than having a free best trick contest at a free park on Go Skateboarding Day.















You can see Diandre was pretty excited for Go Skateboarding Day.






1st place goes to Josia Gatlyn.
