There'll be good looking powerhouse rippers on boards, little kid rippers on boards, chicks on boards, beginners on boards, dogs and cats on boards, together.. it's crazy I tell ya! shock

"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!"

Bustin Longboards Will Be at our GSD Meeting up!
Totally cool group of cats from Bustin Longboards will be hanging with us this Saturday.. Totally Stoked!

What to expect:
Go Skateboarding Day is for everybody and anybody who rides on a plank of wood (or synthetic materials) with wheels and is totally stoked to be out skateboarding. Be it trick board, longboard, cruise board, wiggly board, monster truck board, or some crazy board never seen before - if you have one of the described and are not injured - you have no excuse. Period. Be there.

The only agenda: SKATEBOARD

I'm getting the all out route map for the sponsored events and will post a poll to see what everybody is thinking. Stay Tuned

Bring: Skateboard, Sunscreen, Water, Snacks, Metro Card and maybe some extra shirts

    I was out at the Bandshell around 2 or 3pm. Only few skaters. I managed to land an inward heelflip which made me feel all warm inside.

    Too bad I missed this--and the last few others. I've been in training these weeks so I can master the board for once--or at least do a basic KF. Here I am in training: http://www.youtube.com/watc... I'm ready for the park!

    Yay!!!!! It's going to be gorgeous!!!!! If you need to get in touch with me (btw sketchy stalkers: I'm really a dude): [masked] I am going to the banks to seek out an official route map, I'll bring some subway maps and some extra metro cards and I will try meet everybody up at the band shell by 12. 2Legit and SeƱor Smooth will be there early.. they are impossible to miss.

    Hey guys, I've already made my pimp suit, including the cape. I've also added some flourishes, including goldfish shoes, feather extensions (I will explain what a feather extension is when I have more time and when I figure it out myself) and a tasteful amount of makeup. Now you guys tell me it's inappropriate. What am I supposed to do now?

    just put thought into this maybe costumes or pimp suits wouldn't be the best thing to wear......lets just hope for a good turn out every body should show

    I will be the one most certainly not wearing a pimp suit or a cape
