National Go Skate Day @ The Skate 4 Homies Warehouse

If you're ever looking for a reason to party, remember.... June 21st gives you three of them. It marks National Go Skateboarding Day, the first day of summer, and the longest day of the year. 

But Skate4Homies wasn't looking for a reason to party. They were counting down the days to party. 

The Skate4Homies warehouse was the place to be on this year's Go Skate Day. It was a flash mobbin, bbqing, cool tunin, skateboardingin, transworld premieringin kinda day. 

And Jim Rad took some pictures to prove it...

No room for cars. SLC skaters ruled the street as they skate towards the Skate4Homies Warehouse.

SLC Trib even caught wind of the skate mob...check it out!

No need for a permit. The skate force is strong with you Salt Lake City.

Trick of the day: Quarter pipe kickflip to wall.
(Official props pending til I figure out the rider's name)
