The inaugural SEVEN10 SKATE will take place on July 10th , 2022 , at Lazy Gators in Lake Ozark , MO . The first segment will see Latitude Dispensary and Proper Cannabis partner with SK8 Liborius to build a custom skateboard half pipe that will be dropped into the stage area of Lazy Gators . Renowned skateboarder Tyreek Morrison (@ moneyteam ) will fly in from Atlanta , GA , to host the event . Expected are some of the top amateur skaters from around Missouri to participate in the event and some special surprise guests .

The Latitude and Proper team , along with SK8 Liborius ( https :// sk8liborius . com ), has a goal to host the 2nd Annual SEVEN10 SKATE event at the brand-new Camdenton Skate Park in July 2023 , with a competition format for statewide bragging rights and prizes .
When the Latitude Dispensary team opened its dispensary at the Lake of the Ozarks , they noticed a major void in the community . There was not a professionally built , safe skateboard park for the local community to enjoy . The Latitude team set out on a mission to work with the City of Camdenton and SK8 Liborius to find a way to secure a space if the scrappy DIY skaters turned medical cannabis operators secured the funding to build it .
Soon after , the Latitude team began conversations with the Proper Cannabis crew about the Lake area community , culture , passion , and what making an impact on the world meant to everyone . What materialized from the meeting was a concept to connect the local cannabis culture to the local skate scene and a mission to build a brand-new skate park in Camdenton City Park as a way to give back to the community it serves .
All proceeds from the SEVEN10 SKATE event will go towards designing and building the first professionally built public skate park in the Lake of the Ozarks region . In addition , the ramp being built for the Lazy Gators event will be donated to the Camdenton City Park for the community to enjoy while the planning and building process takes place .
Up to 10 Missouri amateur skaters from around the state are invited to participate in the event . Skaters selected will be provided $ 250 per diem to help cover gas , lodging , and food . Interested skaters should contact Nick Hyland at nick . hyland @ latitudedispensary . com . The winner will receive statewide bragging rights and a $ 350 prize presented with an insanely oversized check .
