Also make sure you head over to Skullys tomorrow night for the Embassy 5 year anniversary party (un official) Comfest afterparty...

Taken from the Columbus alive:
Friday: Sweatin' presents Embassy Boardshop five-year anniversary party with Cornelius Jackson & Freaky Franz, Second City Rhythm (Adulture & Ghosts of Venice), Johnny Cashola

To celebrate five years of Embassy Boardshop, Sweatin' has assembled one of the stronger hip-hop and electronic lineups in recent memory. You've got Johnny Cashola of the famed Get Right hip-hop party. Then there's Second City Rhythm, a frenetic Chicago disco duo featuring Columbus expat Adulture (Garrett Shrigley) and the UK's Ghosts of Venice (Lee Dunn). Topping things off is deejay Cornelius Jackson with emcee Freaky Franz, a pair of talented roomies who seem to be everywhere at once - on the road, in the studio, at the club and around the skate park.

GSD 2011 iPhone edit

Here is an edit I made from Go Skateboarding Day at Skate Naked... it's pretty bare bones, just tricks basically.. I kind of hate filming during contests. It's not pretty but a lot of good tricks were landed..

Go Skateboarding Day 2011

So as you know, today is Go Skateboarding Day! and for the second year in a row Skate Naked is hosting a big party / contest. I'm not totally sure but it might be free to get in..you might want to call first to find out. There are a ton of prizes.. Embassy Boardshop, Alien Workshop and Habitat are the main sponsors... ALSO park local James Weber purchased a $500 gift certificate from Embassy to give away as well as some Insturment decks. He wanted to do it and no one could talk him out of it! I guess he just really wanted to stoke everyone out... The contest is scheduled to start sometime between 3 and 4 PM. aferwards the plan is to get everyone together critical mass style to skate from the park through the streets of downtown and back. Should be a great time.

Also, I've heard that the Flow skatepark on the eastside is holding a free skate session in honor of GSD.

So basically you have no reason not to go skating at some point today!

Early June Edit

Here is a new edit I made comprised of a couple clips of Stuart and Austin skating at the Campus park last week. The rest is pretty much all from a trip that myself, Austin, Taylor, CJ and Gabe took yesterday to the Canal Winchester park. We ended up staying there for about 3 or 4 hours and they all got a ton of good tricks. Gabe freakin' killed the ledge.
