Go Skateboarding Day 2011

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.

Founded by the International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC); every year on June 21st we have another reason to go skateboarding. The day originated as the day for skateboarders to have fun, to raise awareness about the issues we face; to show the world what skateboarding is really all about; to reclaim our culture; and to define skateboarding as the rebellious, creative celebration of independence it continues to be. In the years since the first celebration, the holiday continues to grow, but the mission remains the same.

Check out the official Go Skateboarding Day for events in your area.

Legendary skateboard artist and former art director for Santa Cruz skateboards, Jim Phillips Sr. created the 2011 edition in the artist series of collectible posters promoting Go Skateboarding Day.
