SK8 Nelson at RVCC
July 8, 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The skate park and half-pipe at Rockfish Valley Community Center will host the Third Annual “Devils Backbone Presents SK8 Nelson” fundraising event, featuring the “MinPin Skate Jam” Saturday, July 8 from 4 – 9 p.m.
The SK8 Nelson party has become the largest summertime event at “The Rock,” attracting hundreds of participants and enthusiasts from around the state. Proceeds from the event help to offset the costs of insuring, maintaining and improving the skate park, as well as supporting the Center’s operations.
This year’s “MinPin Skate Jam,” an open skating session named in memory of local skater Daniel “MinPin” Rasnake, will run from 4 – 6 p.m., with competitions from 6 to 8 p.m. In a change from previous years, however, there will be a $5 entry fee for Best Trick Competitions, and a $10 entry fee for the Game of Skate Challenge, with first prize being 50% of game entry fees.
Live music for the party will be provided by local bands including Shagwolf, Tara Mills & Jimmy Stelling, Choose Your Own Adventure, Matt Curreri & the ExFriends and Disco Risque Acoustic. There is a $5 entry fee for the party. Paid competitors and kids 12 and under are admitted free
