VOLCOM STONE WILD IN THE PARKS 2010
UK DATE @ Maverick’s Mansfield Skate Plaza, June 19th
This event is a FREE event open to everyone who wants to enter with tons of prizes to take home.
Wild in the Parks is about giving back. With this in mind, the series is entirely free for competitors. There is a free lunch and absolutely no entry fees, so anyone can sign up to compete in one of the three divisions: 14 and under, 15 and over and Pro-Am. At least the top 5 skaters from the 14 - and 15 + divisions go home with loads of prizes while the Pro-Am division winners receive prizes as well as cold hard cash. Top 3 of each category also receive invites to this year’s European WITP Championships going down in Prague, Czech Republic Sat Sept 25 with more prizes to win and plane tickets to the WITP Champs (Phoenix, AZ Sat Sept 26 ($20,000 cash purse)!).
The Wild in the Parks was born when we noticed something needed to change in the amateur skateboard contest scene. We decided to take a different path, a road less traveled, and offer something new and entirely different. We came up with an event format that alleviates both stress and boredom while increasing involvement.
Think of the event like three best trick contests; skaters are judged on the tricks they pull in three separate park “zones”, never on their bails.
So, come and hang out, eat some free food, skate, support their friends, and go home with a ton of free prizes!
The first birthday celebrations went off at the Dorchester Skatepark last weekend.
Skateboarding highlights from Greg Nowik, Daryl Dominguez & Pete King captured by James Gardener.
See you there next year

The first comp and demo at the Mansfield Skate Plaza will take place on Saturday 27th March 2010 from 11am (weather permitting).
A comp will be run for each discipline (boards, bikes and blades) and it will be in the format of a team competition. Each team will consist of between 3 to 5 riders. There will be an under 16’s and over 16’s section for each discipline. Finally, a best trick comp for each discipline will happen if there is enough time.
There will be lots of prizes up for grabs, hopefully a pro demo from a UK skateboard company, so get thinking about your teams and your best tricks…!
