In Saigon, there are Saigonskateshop, Feaker,... In the Central Region, Rienevan is the local brand sponsoring the event.

After gathering, everyone poured into the street, skaters running along the roads, as is customary. They will come to a halt at skating rinks to compete or to cheer on individuals as they perform various techniques.

The competition techniques in skateboarding are quite diverse; typically, Game of Skate is the battle to decide who performs more difficult moves. Moreover, there are far Ollie and High Ollie, which determine who has the higher and farther bounce.

At the end of the day, not only the prizes but also the valuable experience, have truly boosted the community spirit and the sporting nature of the young people.
