CLEARLAKE, Calif. – On Saturday, May 14, Lake Community Pride Foundation will be hosting a skate park competition featuring riders from Mendocino and Lake County participants.

Brock Randolph and Kyle Kennedy are seniors at Ukiah High School. Their senior project is to coordinate a skate park competition. With the help of Bruno Sabatier and Lake Community Pride Foundation, they were able to secure the Andy Johnson Memorial BMX Skate Park in Clearlake's Austin Park.

The event starts with sign ups from 11 a.m. to noon. The competition will start at 1 p.m.

All riders will be separated into three categories and three different levels of experience. The categories are BMX, scooter and skateboard. The levels of experience will be beginner, intermediate and advanced. Come early and make sure to sign up into the correct bracket, and then may the best rider win.

This is the first time that an inter-county skate park competition will be organized in the city of Clearlake.

“I have this feeling that after this event, we will see more of these where it will be hosted in Mendocino and then back in Lake County,” said Sabatier. “Positive, healthy competition such as this is good for adding a new layer to our relationship between the two counties that has already been built by the riders themselves looking for new parks to shred in.”

A skate park competition wouldn't be complete without music to compliment the riders. DJ Grand Masta Slash Beatz and As All Else Fails will be performing during the event. Admission to the watch the competition is free and anyone who wishes to join the competition can do so for free as well.

The skate park is located at 14077 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bruno Sabatier at 707-695-0834.
