Super Skate Posse Giveback 3: Break Free Skateshop | Oakland

FIRST FRIDAYS IN OAKLAND GO OFF and the last one of 2021 really burned it down. On December 4th, 2021 Super Skate Posse and Break Free Skateshop teamed up with Oakland OG K-Dubs for an epic weekend of music, skating and good vibes. The Posse's mission is to remove the cost barrier of entry to the mental health benefits of skateboarding for children in underserved communities.

Friday night kicked off with a free show at Eli’s Mile High Club for the Oakland scene, hosted by rising comedian Alex Nicholas, followed by performances from Tommy Guerrero and capped off with a set by Break Free co-owner Big Hongry. Saturday was a day to give back to the community to get the next generation skating.

In all, Break Free and The Posse gave out 100 Real and Antihero completes, 100 pairs of Vans, 100 Pro-Tec helmets as well as limited-edition Break Free crewnecks made by the main sponsor of the event—Russell Athletic.

The Skate Like A Girl crew was also on hand along with Rob’s Academy to provide free skate lessons, which will continue at Town Park in the spring and summer.

Watch and see the beauty of skateboarding and community.
