Title: Spain: O'Marisquino Contest 2014 Date
Post by: Mr News Bot on May 23, 2014, 11:18:07 PM

This year the O'Marisquino contest in Vigo, Spain is going to take place from August 8 to 10. It's confirmed that there will be a flatland contest but unlike last year the contest is not part of the Flatland World Circuit.

If you're interested in Skateboarding then check out the press release. We're unable to understand things that have more than 2 wheels but it says something about World Skateboarding Cup. Sounds important ;-)
