Go Skateboarding Day

Skateboarders around the globe will be doing their thing to celebrate the day that everyone drops what it is they're doing to get out there and ride a skateboard. It's important to remember that as we all get older and bogged down with real jobs and endless bills, everyday should be a day to "Go Skate." When all the other bullsh*t tries it's best to get in the way, it's skateboarding that will forever keep up young. And that's a word up, as they say in the streets.
