Eric Koston’s éS GAME OF S.K.A.T.E

The éS Game of Skate is a national game series traveling through U.S. cities including Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Tampa, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and more finding the top amateur S.K.A.T.E. champions to culminate in the éS Game of S.K.A.T.E. National Amatuer Championships. The winner automatically becomes the Wild Card and will face the pros at Eric Koston’s éS Game of S.K.A.T.E.
With all the hype on competitive skateboarding like the ESPN X-Games, the Eric Koston’s éS Game of S.K.A.T.E breaks out and brings skateboarding back to its roots -- no obstacles for tricks -- just the contender, the board, and flat-ground creativity.

HOW: Here’s how the Eric Koston’s éS Game of S.K.A.T.E. is played: The first skater tries a trick, makes it, and everyone else has to make it. Whoever doesn't make it gets a letter. The first letter is “S,” the second letter is “K,” and so on, until “S-K-A-T-E” is spelled out, and that person is out of the game. When it's the first skater's turn again, he tries another trick. If he makes it, the whole process repeats until someone wins.
