Go Skateboarding Day 2021 Coverage
Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 by Matt Shail
Go Skateboarding Day is everyday but this year Red Bull, SPoT and Westside Skateshop teamed up to celebrate. We barged the Bro Bowl for a cash for tricks contest and a long ollie contest. Then headed SPoT for free food and even more cash for tricks. Everyone wanted a piece of the $1,000 cash purse but only the hammers got paid, check it out now!

Kicking off Go Skate Day 2021 here at Bro Bowl. Thanks Red Bull for sending out the MXT Sound Truck to keep the jams pumping all day long!
Westside Skateshop's Mikey Premet starts things off with a Frontside 360 over the barrier. That trick is definitely worth a couple bucks.
After Tim finished up with Skate Camp he met us at the Bro Bowl to help announce and give out cash, but not before doing this Front Blunt.
And here are your bank tellers for the day. When a skater lands a cash-worthy trick, they know to visit Sam Bellipanni or Tim Gasiorski to get paid.
Marse with a very proper Fronstide Flip. The other lakeland legend, Andrew Reynolds, would be proud.
Some people might claim that there is favoritism between Tim and the SPoT Team but that is false. Tim just pays Marse for the tricks he lands, it's that simple.
Westside Skateshop riders were getting paid to. Mikey Premet Frontside 360's some cash right into his pocket.
We closed our shipping and receiving department early on Go Skate Day so our boy Peter Kryger could get in on the cash for tricks. Fat Impossible over the barrier.
SPoT local Myles Booker does a Kickflip over the barrier in the "Dough Buccaneers" tee. He gets $3 for landing an ABD.
It's time to mix it up and turn the barrier. Jack Wahl lands a Frontside Tailslide for Westside Skateshop.
Speaking of flipping in, Mikey shuts down the cash for tricks with a Kickflip Back Lip. Now it's time to get ready for the long ollie contest.
The crowd getting ready for the long ollie contest. It felt extra hot out on Go Skate Day, hope you remembered your sunscreen!
Thanks everyone for coming out to Bro Bowl. Now we're heading to SPoT for free skating, free food and more cash for tricks. Thanks Red Bull!
We start the first cash for tricks contest down the hubbas. It crowded on top off the quarterpipe but Marse drops in and gets this Fakie Flip Tailslide.
Then, the next obstacle is the double kinked rail. Kris does this Back 5-0 amongst several other hammers.
Peter was doing some of the most impressive tricks all day. This one was crazy. Gap over the rail to Back Lip on the ledge. Watch out for Tyler!
We ended Go Skate Day at the Bricks with some drinks and a premiere of the new Westside Skateshop video "HEATSTROKE" by Ryan Hodgdon.
