THROW YOUR OWN CONTEST
Test your skating skills and that of
your friends by promoting a skate-
board contest. When skateboard
ing was just beginning to
emerge
in the 60's, and again in the 70's, a
big part of the energy was coming
from regional and local contests
Usually held in c
in a store parking lot
or on a closed off city street, these
mini contests s were the forerunners
of the Pro skateboard circuit Not
only w were they ideal settings for
skaters to exchange skate chatter
and innovative new techniques
contests provided the public with
a chance to see skateboarding
being performed as a sport instead
of a plastic sidewalk toy
One suggestion for getting
things rolling in your area would
be to approach al
a local skate
shop for some help in passing the
word around. Print up some flyers
that can be distributed and posted
on bulletin boards around town. To
secure a contest site check with
local city officials about using
public property. Of course, there
may be a little red tape to clear
up before they give you the go
ahead, but it should be worth a
try. Schools and parks are a good
possibility to check out The park
and recreation department in
your town should be receptive to
a community event such as this
Hold sign-ups on the day of the
contest so as to
s to prevent a whole
bunch of pre-contest paperwork

in the area. Slalom and downhil

may be difficult
A freestyle contest is probably
your best bet requires nothing
more than a flat cement area
and different events such as high
Jumping and even curb grinding
can be added to spice t things up.
Of course, if you're near a skate-
park
you can approach them
about holding a pool or half-pipe
contest unless they already have
a contest program happening At
any rate you've got to get out
there and make things happen
for you and for skateboarding. If
you don't do it nobody obe wil
