Go Skateboarding Day is one of the biggest celebrations in skateboarding, with skaters around the world getting together to hit the streets and spend the day with their local scenes. This year, we're taking that spirit and turning it into something even bigger. Welcome to Go Skate Weekend, a four-day celebration from June 19 - 22 of skateboarding, community, and getting out into the city together. Go Skate Hot Spots, event-focused tasks, increased party sizes, a scavenger hunt for new Quick Drop items, and event-inspired gear and accessories are yours to get - but you gotta be quick!
The locals have organized activities that’ll get you exploring, discovering, and skating. Grab your friends and tackle a scavenger hunt that will test your knowledge of San Van and real-world skate spots. Every location you discover unlocks a brand-new Quick Drop Object, but the clues won't be easy. Team up, compare notes, and find ‘em all.
Go Skate Hot Spots have appeared throughout San Van, transforming iconic locations into community skate sessions built for big groups. Head to the Promenade in Market Mile, the Overpass in Hedgemont, the Block Party in Gullcrest, and the Canal South Bank in Gullcrest to find updated spots and some new obstacles. Every day of the weekend will spotlight a different Hot Spot to keep things fresh.
For the duration of Go Skate Weekend, party size has been increased to eight players, and Challenge party limits have also been raised to eight. You'll also be able to toggle the ability to see other players while participating in Challenges, helping the city feel more alive than ever. Whether you're hunting collectibles, sessioning one of the Hot Spots, or cruising through the streets, you'll be sharing the experience with more skaters across San Van. We're testing things out with this event to make it easier to find and play as a group and amp up the energy in the world - let us know what you like and don't like, and we may bring the best elements back after the weekend is over. Daily Tasks are also getting a Go Skate Weekend makeover. Complete each day's challenges at the featured Hot Spot to earn exclusive themed board gear. New rewards will rotate daily, including decks, grip tape, wheels, and event-inspired accessories. Miss a day, and you miss the gear, so make sure to hit up the featured location before it’s gone.
During the four-day event, we’ve got a community challenge we know you can shut down:
Join a party and complete 2.5M Challenge goals as a community. Everyone who participates in this community challenge to add to that goal will earn a new hoodie and 500 Tix.
The reward was supposed to be the Vans button-up, but it accidentally got added into the Free section of the Extravert shop today. Grab your FREE Vans shirt before the end of the Go Skate Weekend Event.
And if you're looking for even more reasons to gather a crew, every Own the Lot location across the city will be active throughout the event and will be able to be played by up to eight players. There has never been a better time to knock out some challenges, discover new spots, and blitz some parks. Go Skate Weekend runs through June 22, so round up your crew, hit the streets, and celebrate the best thing in the world: skateboarding.
See you in San Van,
The skate. Team
