Game of Skate
August 11 – 5pm – Lewis Park
An epic battle to crown the flatland King and Queen of the Comox Valley.
SKATE a.k.a Game of Skate is a head to head skateboarding game using rules based upon the H.O.R.S.E. game played by basketball players. One player starts by doing a particular skateboarding trick of their choice. If the trick is not landed, another player attempts to set a trick. Once a trick has been set (landed), the other player must respond by doing the same trick in their first try. If they make it the game continues; if they miss it, they get a letter, starting with S, and so on, until they have missed five tricks, spelling SKATE, and they are out.
The contest will take place on the outdoor stage beside the parking lot in Lewis Park and is open to girls and boys of all ages and abilities.
$5 registration fee and two categories; 13 and under and 14 and older.
Lots of prizes and snacks from our awesome sponsors; Volcom, SushiSnax, Onethirtythree, Airhouse, Sandbox, Reharmonization, Blue Toque, Epic Board Skins and RK Designs.
So get your board out and start fine tuning your flatland tricks for combat in the first Game of Skate that will no doubt be an annual event in the Comox Valley.
Spectators are encouraged to come watch and cheer on their favourite skaters vying for skateboard supremacy and glory .
