With this event, the Vans Pro Skate Park Series will be establishing the premier global points ranking system for men’s and women’s park terrain skateboarding as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) continues to inch closer to endorsing skateboarding for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic games in Tokyo.

Alongside the action-packed skate competition, there will be free BBQ hot dogs up for grabs, a live performance by Ray Barbee, and a free movie screening to wrap up the end of the night with popcorn to boot.
