The SkateFolk Block Party with USA Skateboarding
Published 8/9/2024 by Chris Miller
SkateFolk hit us up to help run their event featuring all-inclusive clinics and contests open to everyone following a watch party for the Olympics in Paris. Harold Hunter Foundation, Exposure, The D.C. Wheels, and USA Skateboarding joined forces with SkateFolk and the Howard Theater giving the DMV skate community (who showed up and killed it) a very special two day event. Ray Llanos from Skate Chronicles and Imoh Ekasi-Otu have some photos.
