City’s World www.20somethingsudbury.ca Not that anybody ever needs a reason to go skateboarding, but June 21st provides the best reason of all: Go Skateboarding Day! GSD is a day where skateboarders from all around the world hit the streets, the parks, and anything else skateable, to shred and have a great time. The greatest thing about skateboarding is that it’s just you and your board. You are your only opponent, your coach, the referee, and the cheering section. There’s nobody telling you where to ride, or what trick to do. You can spend hours focused on a trick until you nail it, and when that moment finally arrives, you enjoy a tremendous feeling of triumph. It’s a boost that stays with you for the rest of the day, and elevates the mood of your entire surroundings. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY? GO SKATE (DAY)! KRISTOFER CACCIOTTI : CITY’S WORLD Go Skateboarding Day is not only about having a great day skating, it’s a movement to raise awareness about skateboarding and the skateboarding culture. Go Skateboarding Day aims to bring attention to issues surrounding the sport, and to improve and maintain a positive image amongst the global community, while staying true to its origins as a quasi-rebellious outlet to express creativity and imagination. So, on June 21st, you know what to do. Even if you don’t skateboard, get out to the park, find a skate session, take some photos, shoot a vid. PARTICIPATE! Get outside, get active, and most importantly, have an amazing day… because that’s what skateboarding is all about. PAGE SKATER: STEVE EURICH PHOTO: KRISTOFER CACCIOTTI 15
