Skateboarding is not just about athleticism, it is a sport of emotions. The exhilaration of learning new tricks, the pain when we fail a trick, and the excitement and pure satisfaction we experience when we land a trick. It is a sport to love. That is what you showed us at the Flip It Up event at the Urban Skate Park at Ampang Plaza on 8 August.
In a successful celebration of the skateboarding community, five hundred of you came together for an exciting weekend of competition, creativity, and culture. A whopping 48 skateboarders, both locally and from Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia, duked it out in the Game of Skate to win exciting prizes.[1] It was an incredible moment of passion and energy with the community as we ate, played and created together.
