Get ready for an action packed week of skate exhibition, tutorials and contests. The first event, The Aloha Boardsports Mini Skate Park is a 4-day skate park sponsored by Rockwell/Powerplant mall and Jam 88.3.

The event will begin daily from 11am to 9pm, from May 24-27.
Fascinated by a new trick, and can’t seem to master it on your own? On may 28th bring your own skateboard and learn from the best. There will be a Free for All Skate Clinic for trickboarding and longboarding. Aloha Boardsports’ team riders Jeff Gonzalez, Otie Tipan, Todd Tessier, and Rasheed Al Rasheed will be coaching the trickboard clinic; Rafe Arcenas and Nicole Wuthrich will be coaching the longboard clinic.

The third event, Volcom’s Sari Sari Skate Stop 2 will be held on May 29. Following the success of the initial tour stop, held recently at the Volcom Thrilla in Manila, Tour Stop 2 brings another round of competition within 2 divisions depending on age group, from the Philippine’s first ever Skate Tour.

The event will close on May 30th with the Sector 9 & Jam 88.3 Longboard Marathon/Push Don't Pollute 2.

After the race, there will be a longboard clinic and freestyle competition at SM Mall of Asia.
