WHO: 100 professional skateboarders have been invited. Invited guests include: Eric Koston, Andrew Reynolds, Rodrigo TX, Bastien Salabanzi, Ryan Sheckler, and more
12,000 people expected to attend throughout the weekend.
WHY: Since the dawn of time, man has, by natural individual instinct, been either left-handed or right-handed, left brained or right-brained - goofy or regular. That's right, goofy or regular! From the moment the first skateboard was ever stepped on, the left foot or right foot was placed first, debuting the birth of stance.
Though all skateboarders were created equal, an age-old unspoken question remains: Which stance is better? It's time to find out!
The Skateboard Mag and Skateboarder Magazine are co-presenting with etnies. etnies thanks its generous partners SoBe, Epitaph, Fuel TV and the City of Lake Forest.
