Brandon Valjalo Celebrates Go Skateboarding Day at Pimville DIY Skatepark

To honour the upcoming Go Skateboarding Day on 21 June, Red Bull Skateboarding athlete, Brandon Valjalo put out a call to the skateboarding community to join him at the Pimville DIY Skatepark this past weekend.

Started in 2004, Go Skateboarding Day is an annual international celebration of skateboarding aimed at not skateboarders themselves, but to also foster a sense of community and to get more people involved in the sport.

“Skateboarding isn’t just a sport — it’s a lifestyle. It teaches you discipline, creativity, resilience, and freedom. Go Skateboarding Day is a celebration of all of that and more. If I can inspire even one kid to pick up a board and go for it, then I’ve done my job. Go Skateboarding Day is for the dreamers, the beginners, and everyone in between.” – Brandon Valjalo
