Montreal, Tampa, London and Madrid; The World Goes Wild in the Streets
 On June 20 & 21, 2010, Emerica's Wild In The Streets is Going Global!

Big breaking news for skateboarders in Montreal...Emerica's Wild in the Streets is coming!!!

On June 20th the streets of Montreal will be getting wild with thousands of local skaters along with the Emerica team. The goal is to raise money for the Quebec skate plaza, as well as to have an amazing time.

Taking its cues from a diverse history of "organized coincidences" and happenings such as motorcycle rallies, Reclaim the Streets festivals and Critical Mass bicycle rides, Emerica's Wild in the Streets is an unconventional skateboarding event born in the streets.  Often held on June 21st (Go Skateboarding Day), Emerica's Wild in the Streets event is about much more than just getting the skate community together to have fun. After all, everyday is Go Skateboarding Day to Emerica. Wild In The Streets is different. A large-scale, decentralized grassroots movement for the benefit of skateboarders, the goal of Emerica's Wild in the Streets is to forge community, while raising awareness of skateboarding and the needs of skaters. In years past, Emerica's Wild in the Streets has benefited various causes, included fundraising for injured skaters, raising funds and awareness for skatepark projects, and socio-political issues affecting skateboarders and their communities.

This year the Emerica team will be splitting up and traveling to four locations around the world to bring cause-awareness and raise money for local skaters and their needs in those regions. The locations were decided by skaters, for skaters, on the Emerica website.

This is where the Emerica Team is headed in Canada for 2010:
