2006 WILD IN THE PARKS CONTEST SCHEDULE!
Wild in the Parks was born when we noticed something needed to change in the amateur skateboard contest scene. We decided to take a different path, the road less traveled, and offer something new and entirely different. We came up with a new jam format that alleviates both stress and boredom at events.

Wild in the Parks is for young up and coming skaters to come out and show their skills. Think of the event like three best trick contests; skaters are judged on the tricks they pull in three separate park areas, never on their bails. Wild in the Parks is about giving back to the skaters. With this in mind, the series is entirely free. There are absolutely no entry fees, so anyone can enter. Show up early or register on the website to ensure a spot in the contest, because they fill up quick. It is a great environment to hang out, eat some free food, skate, cheer on friends, and go home with a ton of free prizes!
