Who I'd like to meet: Zoo York is proud to announce the fourth installment of the most prestigious international amateur skateboard contest “Zoo York’s AM GETTING PAID”. The contest’s focus is showcasing the very best in skateboarding on a scale no other amateur event can offer. This pro free event will happen again July 18th to 20th 2008 at South Parc in Montreal (Quebec). This years prize purse is $10 000 dollars.
This years contest will be held in the middle of the summer making it a great opportunity for skate companies to come to eastern Canada to promote their pro and amateur teams simultaneously. There is opportunity to organize demos, in store signings in, and/or to simply go out and get footage for upcoming videos. Montreal is close Quebec city, Ottawa and Toronto all of these cities are known for having some of the best street spots in North America (*more about about Montreal below).
For three action packed days, the event will bring together some of the best international amateur skateboarding talents. The contest in the past has been a huge hit and has received national and international coverage on television, film and in magazines. It was deemed one of the biggest contests of the year by SBC magazine. Past contest winners include Antoine Asselin, Nyjah Huston and Ryan Descenzo.
