Welcome back to The Weekly Grind, San Vanners! Let’s roll!
What’s going on?
X Games San Van started last week, and the event runs from July 21 - Aug 25. Rep one of the 4 cities (or all 4) by grabbing X Games San Van gear in the shop. Hit those Spot Battles to crush the competition. And don’t forget: Stadium access is OPEN - meaning no Rip Chips or skate.Premium Pass needed. Check out the blog for more details.
The X Games Challenges refresh next week, so get ready to shut them down on Aug 4 and get all your X Games gear!
Did you check out the behind-the-scenes VO sesh with Dashawn?
We’ll be reaching out to the Fingerflips Video Contest finalists in the next 2 days, and are going through the 200+ submissions for the Design a Deck UGC contest (we’ve already seen some amazing submissions). We’re also gearing up for our X Games Best Run video contest - details coming later this week.
Don’t forget: Keep sharing your bugs/issues so we can squash ‘em flat.
Let’s dive right into the calendar.
