As you know last Saturday was Go Skateboarding Day, with tons of skateboarders taking over streets worldwide. DC did a little takeover as well: joining Active and Alien Workshop, we threw a huge event at the Rob Dyrdek/DC Shoes Skate Plaza in Kettering, Ohio. Things couldn't have gone better! About a thousand turned out to skate. A few more thousand turned out to support and score a free hot dog. And a few thousand more came to grab an autograph from Dyrdek, Kalis, Robertson, Smith and the rest of the DC, Workshop, and Active teams--the line to get something signed was ridiculous. The autograph line was one thing; the skating was on another level. Kids were ripping. With 20 bucks getting passed out for legit tricks and bigger bills getting passed out for bangers, kids were throwing down for the loot on the four stair, 12 stair, the manny pad, and the million other elements the Plaza offers. Unfortunately, some kids got carted away with head wounds and tweaked ankles instead of cash. Check out dcskateboarding.tv for the photos plus a video edit of some highlights from the day. Thank you so much to everyone that came out--plus Active and AWS--for making the whole day so rad!
