Wild in the Parks was born when we noticed something needed to change with the amateur skateboard contest scene. We decided to take a different path - the road less travelled - and offer something slightly removed.
For those of you that are fed up with days of 1-minute runs, over and over again, we came up with a new jam format that alleviates both stress and boredom at events.
Wild In The Parks is for young up and coming skaters to come out and show their skills. Think of the event like a best trick contest; skaters are judged on the tricks they pull, never on their bails – and they are never left with the pressure of skating alone.
Wild In The Parks is about giving back to the skaters. With this in mind, the series is entirely free. There are absolutely no entry fees, you get to eat some free food, skate, cheer on your friends and go home with a ton of free prizes.
For more info on registration & schedule and to see all the reports about each contest go to volcom.
The dates are as follows in all European countries:
6 October, UK, Aberdeen (Transition Extreme)
4 November, Denmark, Copenhagen
10 November, Sweden, Malmo (Bryggeriet skatepark)
