Adjacent: A New NW Skate Event Coming This Summer

This summer, we’re launching an annual event called Adjacent, a weekend long gathering celebrating skateboarding in the Northwest. The plan is for the event to rotate to a new NW city each year, but we’re kicking it all off in Portland, July 25th to 27th.

At its core, Adjacent is a weekend of street skating and filming, with Northwest centric speakers/presentations, art/photo shows, and side missions like swimming and hiking mixed in. One of main features of the weekend is 'Stackin’ Clips', a weekend-long mission to hit the streets and stack footage, ending with everyone coming together on the final night to submit footage for a community edit that will premiere after the event.

The weekend also includes four NW-centric panels and presentations with local brands, filmers, pro skaters and landscape architects. Speakers will share firsthand experience on sponsorship, running businesses, building public spaces, and filming in the NW. The events will take place at PSU with exact times and locations announced closer to the event.
