New York City

New York City takes Go Skateboarding Day to a new level offering skaters the unique opportunity to experience the Nike SB Skate Safari Barge—a custom skate park built on a 250ft barge that will travel between two special locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.  GSD begins at Flushing Meadows Maloof Park and features the Red Bull Best Trick Contest. Nike SB will then take over the Lower East Side’s Coleman Oval Park with Nike SB pros and the 5Boro NYC and CCS x Nike SB Best Trick Contests.

The day closes with a must-see special demo by Nike SB athlete Paul Rodriguez, alongside other members of the Nike SB pro team on the Nike SB Skate Safari Barge, taking place at 8pm on Friday, June 21st.

Sao Paulo

In Sao Paulo, Brasil, Nike SB pros Cezar Gordo and Rodrigo Gerdal will help celebrate Go Skateboarding Day at the iconic Praça Charles Miller, featuring many different obstacles, DJs and more.

Los Angeles

In L.A., Nike SB will host a skate safari through the city. In the week leading up to Go Skateboarding Day, riders have skated three iconic spots: the L.A. Courthouse, the Wilshire Rails and the Downtown L.A. Car Wash next to the Staples Center. Exclusive prizes will be given to those who shared photos of their skate safari to each spot. The event on GSD will be held at Hollenbeck Skate Plaza and Nike’s Sixth & Mill skatepark with the Nike SB team.
