OFFICE BOOYZ SK8 Makes U.S. Debut at ASR San Diego this September - ONLINE REGISTRATION CLOSED! IF ATTENDING ASR, REGISTER ONSITE AT 3PM SHARP!

If you never went pro, rock full pads at the skate park, are stuck with the title “Man-Am,” or just want bragging rights around the office, your chance at fame is finally here…IT’S PAYBACK TIME!!! OFFICE BOOYZ SK8 has arrived.

Office Booyz is a contest for people who work in the action sports industry and was created by Karl Fuhre and his friends four years ago in Vancouver, Canada. What started out as a few friends getting together to have a snowboard competition amongst fellow “Desk Jockies,” is now a full blow international contest series.

For those unfamiliar with the epic madness of OFFICE BOOYZ, click here to view the last event and get up to speed!

Here's the skinny:

Who:

*** All Desk Jockeys who hold down “FULL-TIME” jobs in the action sports industry. If retail, must be upper management! Attention Companies: put a team/theme together for more OB points!!!

What:

Office Booyz SK8 is the non-contest, contest for all the “full-time” desk jockeys who work in the action sports industry. Office Booyz SK8 is an “OPEN-JAM-SESSION” skate contest, so there’s no stress, anything goes and anyone can win a prize. All you have to do is show up and skate with your peers and co-workers!

When:

Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009, from 4 -6 p.m. Contest starts promptly at 4 p.m.!

Where:
