The name for the holiday possibly originated from the
"No Skateboarding" signs which often has been changed to "Go
Skateboarding." by local skaters. The holiday was conceived by the
International Association of Skateboard Companies (IASC) to help make
skateboarding more accessible to the world through various events held in major
cities around the world. Beginning with the first celebration in 2004, GSD has
since received Special Congressional Recognition from the US Congress for
promoting the sport of skateboarding. This holiday is celebrated by millions of
skaters around the world. Skateboards founder/owner,
Steve Rodriguez, runs the New York City chapter of Go Skateboarding Day, and
with thousands of participants in tow each year, GSD NYC is considered one of
the largest single gatherings of skateboarders in the world and is now
considered an official holiday.

Go Skateboarding Day – 2011 is our third most popular article. I must admit, if skateboarding had been
around while I was growing up, I would have participated. My three children and five grandsons all
enjoy boarding. Like most parents and
grandparents – safety is paramount.
