ABOUT

A COMPETITION WITH A CAUSE

ASIDE FROM A FEEL GOOD EVENT TO BRING THE LOCAL SKATE COMMUNITY TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE THE UNITY THAT SKATEBOARDING OFFERS, THE GROMPETITON IS BEING ORGANIZED FOR A SPECIAL CAUSE: AS A TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE OF SCOTT BURTON.

ON SUNDAY AUGUST 27TH, 2023 SCOTT BURTON PASSED AWAY AFTER SUFFERING A HEART ATTACK.

SCOTT WAS A LOVING FAMILY MAN AND A POSITIVE LIGHT TO ALL WHO KNEW HIM. HE WAS SMART, COMPASSIONATE, CARING, GENEROUS, AND THE VERY DEFINITION OF "CHILL." YOU WOULD ALWAYS SEE HIM IN SHORTS AND FLIP-FLOPS IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER. SCOTT LOVED WATCHING HIS KIDS PLAY ALL SPORTS, BUT MORE THAN MOST, LOVED TO WATCH HIS DAUGHTER MAKENA SKATEBOARD.

PULLING TOGETHER AN EL SEGUNDO SKATEBOARDING COMPETITION IS SOMETHING SCOTT SPOKE OF OFTEN. OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE AN EVENT WHERE KIDS WHO PARTICIPATE IN EXTREME SPORTS COULD BE PROVIDED A SPACE TO SHOWCASE THEIR ABILITIES AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE AGAINST OTHER LOCAL ATHLETES.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN PROMISE YOU, IT’S THAT SCOTT BURTON’S BRIGHT LIGHT WILL BE SHINNING DOWN ON THIS EPIC DAY!

ALL PROCEEDS FROM SLAM CITY EL SEGUNDO SKATEBOARDING COMPETITION WILL GO TOWARDS EL SEGUNDO KIDS AND FAMILIES.
