My final vert and “street” runs from 1998 B3 (bikes, boards & blades) event at @woodwardcamp. In those years, @xgames had strong viewership so they held a few satellite events throughout the year to keep the hype going. I was just stoked to be skating vert so regularly after a lull in interest and opportunities.
As park (and street) skating takes center stage in the upcoming Tokyo games, I have been working feverishly behind the scenes to bring vert back into the fold of big skate events. Stay tuned.
