35th North is one of the dopest skate shops in the game, and with some support from Vans, there’s nothing they can’t do! Right!? Well, I’d have to say yes. The infamous ‚All City Showdown‘ retutned this year after an eight year hiatus, but if you ask me, it’s like it never left.
This is pure, raw skateboarding at its finest. This is community building at its finest. The concept rules, the skaters killed it. Ah, welcome back ACS! Press play and remind yourself what you’ve been missing. So rad.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the „All City Showdown“ concept, let’s let the dudes behind the scenes take the stage:
„35th North and Vans bring ACS BACK! After an eight year hiatus, the original true street skateboarding contest born in Seattle has returned. This year, 10 teams of four skaters each (three skating and one filming) had just eight hours to get footage on August 25th, 2024. This was the 12th year of ACS and the 1st year of its return since 2016!“
Personally, I was so stoked to see this contest return. It shot me back to the glory days of simply charging and skating with your homies, stacking clips and, most importantly, being on a legit mission. Can’t beat that!
Not only is a contest like this absolute fun for all involved, but it’s such a proper glimpse into a variety of low-key scenes across the country. Whether you’re here rooting for your favorite squad or just getting a taste of what’s going on elsewhere, this is such a rad concept and again, I’m so happy to see it return. Plus, I love 35th North. Seattle’s finest!
If you haven’t watched the video yet, find some time to carve out and watch it from start to finish. I guarantee it’ll get you fired up. Oh yeah, and support your local skate shop!
