WITS more info


Main Event goes international for the first time! The Emerica team will be heading up to Vancouver, BC, Canada for Go Skateboarding Day on June 21, 2009, and Wild in the Streets. This year, Wild in the Streets will benefit Leeside, the DIY skatepark that Lee Matasi started in Vancouver. Lee was shot and killed in 2005 and Leeside is an extension of his dream. Meet at the Downtown Skate Plaza at 1pm, bring your skateboard and we go from there! Everybody welcome! Join the Facebook event HERE. The goal of Wild in the Streets is to build community & raise awareness of skateboarding and the needs of skateboarders. It is our hope that Wild in the Streets will someday take on the character of a large-scale, decentralized grassroots movement for the benefit of skateboarders everywhere. We believe in the ability of skateboarders to empower themselves to do great things. Be a part of something amazing, or better yet, create your own amazing event. See Vancouver’s 2008 Wild In The Streets HERE and on YouTube HERE. Meet at Downtown Skate Plaza at 1pm and go from there.
