Go Skateboarding Day @ Carter Jones Park

by | Jun 21, 2011 | POLITICS

Venue Skateboards kicked off the annual Go Skateboarding Day at Carter Jones Park this afternoon with a great turn out. Plenty of stuff to skate and a lot of good tricks going down as Richmond locals battled the blazing heat to celebrate what has become some what of a DIY National holiday. Providing obstacles, grillage and shade, Venue Skateboards continues to support the scene and stay authentic to local skateboarding.


Clem and Ty (Venue skate team) sweat it out.
