There's beginner, intermediate and advanced level contests, and the winner gets a golden ticket to the 2010 Midwest Melee August 20th to the 22nd.

The Oregon Trifecta will be August 20th, 21st and 22nd 2010. These are World Cup Skateboarding events, with one Oregon Trifecta winner.

The Oregon Trifecta has spots open to all skaters (sponsored, non-sponsored and women). However, the contest is tough - make sure you really know what you are doing in a skatepark before you enter as a non-sponsored skater. The Oregon Trifecta is a great way to get into and compete in a pro event without having a sponsor.

See the Oregon Trifecta website for more.

The Warped Tour is an action sports display combined with concerts, held all over the US. You can check out the bands that play and the tour stops on the Vans Warped Tour Website. The last stop of the tour is August 15th.

The Dew Tour has been running strong now, and has quickly become one of the biggest and best action sports events on the planet. With 5 stops all across the United States, the Dew Tour should hopefully hit a town somewhere near you, if you live in the States. The competitions feature vert and street skateboarding, BMX and Moto X, concerts, and a festival village. It's a good time.
