Go Skateboarding Day dropped on a Wednesday for 2017, making it tough for skaters to get out and skate during the week day with the current dark winter weather, school or work so why not celebrate the following weekend… Well that’s what most of the country thought too with GSD celebrations across Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world. Here in Melbourne skaters have come to expect to spend their GSD at Riverslide Skate park for the Vans GSD event. It’s a sure thing with the annual event providing free food, free event Tee, give aways and the opportunity to skate for cash and prizes for skaters of all skill levels and all ages. Year after year Vans works with Riverslide Ramp Builder Ryan Harbottle to craft a new obstacle for the park keeping things fresh. With Vans launch the #stoop series it made sense that the obstacle would be a skateable stoop… Some amazing tricks went down on the stoop and skaters were gifted with cash for their tricks. Take a look at the clip to see what went down. And we will see you next year for GSD 2018.
