Kicking off Go Skateboarding Day across the world, DC brought together more than 500 kids and skateboarders to Macba in Barcelona, Spain. Skateboarders threw down at the best trick contest and Madars Apse hosted live Instagram feeds throughout the day.
As funds were being raised throughout the day with the help from Evan Smith and Josh Kalis, DC passed out product and hosted a skate jam for the skateboarders who came out to support.
In efforts to update Washington Street Skatepark (WSVT) in San Diego, DC received donations from skateboarders who came out to empty their pockets and show support at Chicano Park and Iron Fist Brewery. To further support the community and skateboarding, DC is matching the amount raised for WSVT; totaling the donation amount to $2,238.00. Before his new DC x SK8 Mafia video premiere at Iron Fist Brewery, Wes Kremer hosted and judged a “Kicks for Tricks” contest alongside legend, Danny Way where skaters threw down their best tricks for a pair of new shoes.
Hosted at Blue Tile Lounge, DC donated products and raised funds for the Toronto Skateboard Committee with help from riders T-Funk, Morgan Smith and Charles Deschamps.
