  The first Go Skate Day was held at St Margaret`s Pastures Skate Park on 21st June 2026, sponsored by Graff HQ, Magictoast and AEL (Alex Electrical LTD) the event gave Skateboarders, Scooter Riders and BMX Riders a chance to use the skate-park, compete in competitions to win prizes supplied by the sponsors. The event welcomed riders of all abilities and ages with plenty going on throughout the skate-park and food to keep the energy up provided by a BBQ. The organisers aim for the event to become a yearly gathering and judging by the success of this initial meeting this is highly likely.

In my coverage of Leicester’s Bring The Paint Street Art Festival 2024 I present Jubilee Square transformed, by sponsors red bull, into a pop-up skate park, featuring live DJ sets and giving skateboarders the chance to show off their tricks on various ramps. Watch as skaters take on competitions and challenges, with BBC Radio Leicester as a backdrop. See them jump barriers, grind rails, and more, with just a few minor spills along the way! Please note, these skateboarders are highly skilled please, DO NOT, attempt the tricks seen in this video. Trained medical professionals were present throughout this organized event to ensure everyone's safety. Enjoy the action.
