An afternoon of kickflips and other impressive tricks will take place in Dauphin this Saturday.
The D-town Plaza Skate Park will be playing host to a skateboarding competition between the hours of 11 am and 5 pm.
The Event is being hosted in a joint effort between local clothing brand Young Visionary and Recovery Skateshop and will feature two age groups for the competition.
Skyler Sanderson, founder of Young Visionary is excited to bring a competition like this to his hometown.
"I think it's amazing. it's been a while since an event like this has taken place in Dauphin. I think it's good for the youth and good for everyone to be able to get out and enjoy some beautiful weather and see some skateboarding. I think it'll be a lot of fun."
The event kicks off with the under-18 category, and once that wraps up, the 18+ group will get rolling.
The event will also have merch vendors, food vendors, and a whole lot of excellent prizes for contestants that end in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
A live rap/hip-hop performance will top off the excitement in the afternoon.
Sanderson also mentioned that this event is just the beginning.
In the future, he's hoping to host this event annually. He's looking to see this competition grow and flourish so it can bring in more vendors, pop-ups, and more talent from across the province and beyond.
