Subject: Go Skateboarding Day, June 21
If skateboarders have their way, that will be the scene on the first day of summer—Go Skateboarding Day. It’s a day for skateboarders to skate above all else. It’s also an opportunity for those who’ve never been on a skateboard to grab a friend and join in.
The inaugural Go Skateboarding Day this past June caught on quicker than anyone imagined. Skateboarders held events throughout the Americas, Europe, Australia and Japan. Some of those events included backyard jams, skatepark sessions and impromptu street missions.
Last year was just the beginning of the grind heard around the world. This year, Go Skateboarding Day is going to be bigger, so here are some excuses to tell your boss or teacher: “I can’t make it on Tuesday, June 21 because…”
My house is on fire
I’m going to the dentist
The dog ate my slippers
I have a doctor’s appointment
I’m going to get my nails done
My sick grandmother needs me by her side
I have a tornado to attend
My cubicle is being remodeled
Global warming beckons my name
My dog died
I have to go vote for something
Here’s the best: I’m going skateboarding. Deal with it!
Regional Go Skateboarding Day events will be posted at local skate shops.
