The First GreenSkate Event was held in Calgary Alberta Canada In 2007. It may come as a surprise that a community of longboarders surrounded by the Calgarian oil and gas industry would feel sympathetic to any green cause; however the Calgary Longboard Community couldn't be any more ambitious. GreenSkate made a Global push in 2008 to include the all skateboard communities. Rocio Caceres Borlando an
d the Chile team for the last three years continue to organize the largest GreenSkate with over 200 + riders that cruised 7.5 km to “La Moneda”. Everyone who skateboards in every city around the world is invited to participate in GreenSkate 2010. Energy and environmental issues are on the global stage more than ever. Earth Day is a great time for longboarders to take to the streets to promote longboarding as a fast, environmentally friendly and sustainable form of urban transportation. We are looking for volunteers to organize Greenskates in cities around the world from April 15-24,2011. If you are interested in organizing a GreenSkate event please
