There are so many great skateparks all over the world where riders are continuously recreating the sport and pushing it forward. Over the last few years, Solstik has partnered on skateboard and music events along the U.S. East Coast offering contests, music, food, special guests, and skate and apparel vendor booths.
Our events give riders a place to show up and skate for all of the right reasons. We've recently partnered on events with:
Skate sessions actively promote the sport, as well as the music and businesses related to the industry. We're moving in a positive direction; and motivating riders, musicians and their friends to keep rolling with us. Contact info [@] solstik.com to partner.
The events are held at private indoor and public outdoor skateparks to help park owners and municipalities increase use of their facilities.
Several small contests are held to keep the events rockin'. Best trick contests give groups of skaters 20 to 30 minutes to perform their best trick on a particular obstacle in the park.
Skateboard products, apparel, cash and other prizes contributed by sponsors are given away to contest winners.
Bands, DJs and MCs perform throughout the day and compete in a battle of the bands format. Winning artists receive prizes from sponsors.
Special guests attend the events, adding an additional element of interest. The events help raise the guests' visibility in the skate and music community.
Food and drink vendors are invited to sell and or donate products. Some donated products are used as contest prizes.
Skateboard, apparel and other vendors are invited to set up booths to sell and display their merchandise. Some donated products are used as contest prizes.
The events are promoted primarily through social media, email, websites and flyers. Vendors and merchants also partner in promotional responsibilities.
Small admission fees can be charged to enter the events, as well as fees charged to compete in the contests. Fees are used to offset the costs of the events.
