Event Details:
On Go Skate Day, MTN DEW launched a new summer skateboarding campaign, “Skateboarding Is Unstoppable.” The campaign celebrates and amplifies how far skateboarding has progressed and rolls out ahead of the upcoming Dew Tour at Lauridsen Skatepark in Des Moines, Iowa, July 29 – 30.
As part of the campaign, professional street skater, Mariah Duran, is returning to her hometown in New Mexico on July 17 to unlock the otherwise off-limits Civic Plaza for local skateboarding enthusiasts. “I love skateboarding, and I’m excited to be a part of Skateboarding is Unstoppable with MTN DEW,” says Duran. “Skating has taught me so much about embracing challenges, and just having gratitude for the journey and lessons. I’ll never stop learning new tricks and filming in the streets with my friends. It truly brings me joy, and I can’t wait to unlock an off-limits area in Albuquerque to skate with my childhood friends and the ever-growing skate community at home.”
The rest of the MTN DEW pro skate team, including Sean Malto, Theotis Beasley, and Chris Colbourn, are unlocking spots throughout July in each athlete’s hometown to celebrate Skateboarding is Unstoppable. Each event will give local skaters an opportunity to ride otherwise off-limits skate spots across the country. The grassroots tour will end after the conclusion of the Summer Dew Tour with the entire team in Des Moines, Iowa at Lauridsen Skatepark on July 31.
