Wild in the Streets 2009
Emerica’s Wild in the Streets Main Event goes international for the first time! The Emerica team will be heading up to Vancouver, BC, Canada for Go Skateboarding Day on June 21, 2009, and Wild in the Streets. This year, Wild in the Streets will benefit LeeSide, the DIY skatepark that Lee Matasi started in Vancouver. Lee was shot and killed in 2005 and LeeSide is an extension of his dream.
Make your plans now to head to Canada’s Hot Corner, and if you’re American, remember, you need your passport to get into Canada now. If you can't make it to Vancouver, read the details on how to create your own Wild in the Streets event to raise support for skateboarding in your community. And be sure to visit the official Wild in the Streets page here on the Emerica site.

FUCK CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd
this is bs! its going to be the lamest wild in the streets. no offence to the whole emerica crew and company but wild in the streets main events that arent held in NYC are going to be too calmed and watered down. bring it back to NYC for real guys
so is the wild ride going to be in the U.S, or all canada?
dam it
woo canada!!
"so is the wild ride going to be in the U.S, or all canada?"
There will be no Wild Ride this year.
cesspool capital of canada
Sounds pretty cool, eh?
ohh thats too bad! you guys should come to MEXICO!!!! .
well just Mexicali haha
9th!
phoenix next year, yeah?!
Hot Corner, Canada styles. Lotsa gold bars up here. Come get 'em and Stizay Gold. J21 gonna pop off.
JiggaJay -- we've done it in three other cities besides New York and two of them were as good or better than the New York Wild in the Streets. Steve and his crew will hold it down in New York, but we're psyched to be taking it international this year. Vancouver is going to be off the chain. Stop hatin'.
"phoenix next year, yeah?!"
Phoenix has been discussed for sure and is a strong candidate city for next year.
Jim Jones -- you're a smart one, aren't you?
fuck yes canada! i'll be there!!!!
damn i was hoping there would still be a wild ride
Vancouver should try to get more skaters than New York... We can do it. All BC skaters plus Seattle, Portland, those dudes are hardcore. Plus Edmonton. This is a chance for Alaska skaters to get in on this. Hells Yeah!
bummer. why cant it be in portland instead of canada. oh well, leeside is a great place for the canada scene that helps us all remember what a great person matasi was
In Canada - GreaT nud organize something in Europe . www.hekkas.blogspot.com
Medhat...
EMERICANS in CANUDUH!!!
whats the story on the wild ride? any reason you guys not doin it?
whoever said fuck canada is a fucking idiot canada is the shit and vancouver has a tight ass skate scene mabey you should go their sometime and see how much better it is then most other places fool
Emericanada isn't so bad, we're like your little sister. So, why are you the one crying like a little bitch?
"whats the story on the wild ride? any reason you guys not doin it?"
The Emerica team can't take off for three weeks to go on Wild Ride this year, because they need to concentrate on filming for Stay Gold.
Fuck NYC, fuck jijjajay, if you weren't so stoked on yourselves maybe you would see that there are other cities in the world. I hope you get arrested for skating on the sidewalk and raped in jail.
im telling you guys, west coast wild ride, i was on it for the whole thing in 07 and theres so many more ridiculous nw parks to hit since then. do it on the west coast, assholes.
I think I am gunna go. Its gunna be a badass road trip!!!!!
If anyone has ideas for 2010 and how it could benefit your community with the Emerica team, let us know.
Remember, if you can't make it to Vancouver, its never too late to start planning your own WITs event in your community.
DIY is what Wild In The Streets is all about.
Stay Gold
2010 = Brazil ... what do you think about that?
2010 = Philippines..
no wild ride. B00 : (
but id rather them film for stay gold.
always next year!
WITs Manilla it is!
"whats the story on the wild ride? any reason you guys not doin it?"
Wildrider-- besides the Stay Gold stuff, we kinda felt like Wild Ride was getting predictable, and that's the last thing we want from and for Emerica...
I say come to the dirty south next year! :)
Hehe, lucky we got our own Wild in the streets event in The Netherlands! with al Local rippers there. :)
HF in vancouver ;)
You guys should really help my crappy ass country with some sort of benefit activity to pressure the state to build a real skatepark. There's lots of talent here, but it's like you can only cultivate that talent from January through March. That doesn't stop us, but it does hold us back a bit...
yo,does anyone know if the Stay Gold video came out in France?
Look forward to it!
Stay Gold filming is still in progress...so no, its not out in France.
Stay tuned!
yo tim, what are the basic requirements for canidates for Wild Ride 2010? or are there gonna be any more?
G-CODE BRAYDON ROCKS
COME TO TEXAS!!!!!
OMFG this year is gona rock.. cant wait...
No requirements other than a sleeping bag, a few bucks for food, and an open schedule.
Any and everyone is welcome to join the Wild Ride on a bike or not.
How about showing the Midwest some love next year? Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Omaha are all hot spots.
COME DOWN TO PHILLY AND WHY ISNT THERE ANYTHING IN DIRTY JERZZ. BUT PHILLY ALL FUCKING DAY AND REMEMBER "FREE LOVE PARK"

And thanks emerica for serving the people!
ACTUAL Emerica. far out! are they coming here by land?
i'd definetly tag along with them on my 1200 custom. they should take the time to check out the hot springs and wilderness further north. and all the great skate parks might i add. squam, whistler, pemberton.. much better camping and pot smoking ease-of-mind over here. take advantage guys!!
why are people so bummed that its in van? that place is sick, and plus its skateboarding who the fuck cares wheres its being held just go out there and skate and have fun thats why we all started in the first place
