Go Skateboarding Day 2021 Coverage by Matt Shail and Jason Malley
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!

Uncle Sam Bellipanni
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.

Tim Gasiorski
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.
