Grass Valley’s 23rd Annual Skate Contest

From Cultural Capital by Chris Macias:

The greater Sacramento region is rolling into a golden age of new skateparks, with new or renovated ones recently opening in West Sacramento, Colfax and Davis, the last of which will have its grand opening on Sept. 18 (Friday).

Grass Valley’s Condon Park Skatepark debuted in March with a major upgrade. Local skaters in six divisions will continue to break in the spot during Grass Valley’s 23rd annual skate contest on Saturday. It’s presented by GoodTimes board store, a mainstay of the Sierra Nevada foothills skate scene for nearly 30 years.

Emile Janicot, a.k.a. MC Salmon, will provide the blow-by-blow. You’ll recognize his signature stoked voice if you were at X Games Sacramento, where he served as an announcer.
