How Go Skateboarding Day began
Go Skateboarding Day was proposed by Don Brown and formally established by the International Association of Skateboard Companies in 2004 to promote skateboarding and make it more accessible to everyone.
It coincides with the longest day of the year, and it is by design. Since June 21 is the longest day of the year in Continental USA, it means everyone can spend more time skating outside.
What started out as a few small skate sessions in some parts of the US became a worldwide celebration.
