Skateboarding is more than just physical skill; it’s an emotional journey filled with highs and lows. The thrill of mastering new tricks, the frustration of missed attempts, and the pure joy of successfully landing a trick all contribute to the sport’s unique allure. This passion was vividly showcased at the Flip It Up event, held at Urban Skate Park, Ampang Plaza, on August 8.
The event brought together 500 enthusiasts for an exhilarating weekend filled with competition, creativity, and culture. Skateboarders from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia competed in the Game of Skate for exciting prizes. The atmosphere was electric, with the community coming together to celebrate their shared love for skateboarding through food, play, and artistic expression.
But the excitement doesn’t end at the park. Samsung Malaysia is thrilled to further support the skateboarding community with a unique initiative: a Galaxy Z Flip6-shaped skate sculpture at MRT Pasar Seni. This installation invites skateboarders to showcase their most impressive tricks on a distinctive loading bay-style structure.
The sculpture represents more than just a piece of art; it’s a tribute to the skateboarding culture and a platform for skaters to push their limits. From August 28 to September 8, 2024, participants can share their best tricks on Instagram using the hashtags #FlipItUpMY, #GalaxyZFlip6, and #GalaxyAI. Two winners will be awarded RM1,000 vouchers for Burrow Skateshop, and five will receive a pair of Vans sneakers. Samsung Malaysia is excited to celebrate the daring and dynamic spirit of skateboarders who continue to amaze us with their talent and perseverance.
