Has it really been a year since the last Go Skateboarding Day? Well, the world will ride again this Saturday, June 21 at the Venice Skatepark. I'm not sure what events are being planned in the Arctic Circle, but here in LA there's stuff to do. What better way to cool off than a shirtless glide through Venice Beach on your board? Plus, you'd be saving gas! If that's not motivation enough, there's a contest involved with prizes and what not.

There's a lot of future filmmakers out there who practice their chops making skate videos, throwing their footage on Final Cut, and mixing it down with a little rock and/or roll. Well, that's pretty much all you have to do, according to the contest rules. Grand prize winners get a new get-up and deck. Sweet.

To wrap the day up, there's an official after party at the Highlands Hollywood restaurant featuring Guest DJ's, Dim Mak, and give-aways. Admission is absolutely free. Gates open at 9pm. To avoid the parking mess, the Red Line can drop you off at the front door.
