GreenSkate. 2010
ross the boss posted,
GreenSkate is a grassroots event that started from a
simple idea:
Celebrate and encourage the low impact of longboard
skateboards on our environment as a form of effective
transportation.
On Earth Day 2007 Calgary Alberta Canada was the host
to the first GreenSkate Event. It may come as a surprise
that a community of longboarders surrounded by the
Calgarian oil and gas industry would feel sympathetic to
any green cause; however the Speedboard and Longboard
Association of Calgary couldn't be any more ambitious.
GreenSkate was expanded in 2008 to include the global
skateboard community. Rocio Caceres Borlando from
Chile in 2008 and 2009 continues to organize the largest
GreenSkate with over 100 + riders that cruised 7.5 km to
“La Moneda”. Everyone who skateboards in every city
around the world is invited to participate in GreenSkate
2010.
Energy and environmental issues are on the global stage
more than ever. Earth Day is a great time for longboarders
to take to the streets to promote longboarding as a fast,
environmentally friendly and sustainable form of urban
transportation.
Be a part of GreenSkate! We are looking for volunteers to
organize Greenskates in cities around the world from April
18-24,2010. If you are interested in organizing a
GreenSkate event please
