2017 HH WEEKEND RECAP

6/8/2017

Harold Hunter Weekend went down from May 31 - June 4 in NYC. Huge thanks to presenting sponsor adidas Skateboarding and primary sponsors G-Shock and Skullcandy for helping make it all happen. Over $60,000 was raised all in support of the Harold Hunter Foundation.

The official HH Weekend recap video was filmed by HHF Filmer Project interns and mentors, and edited by HHF Filmer Project interns Javi Lopez and Emmet Padgett.

This year's extended HH Weekend was packed with seven events over the course of five days. For a taste of the action, check out Blair Alley's coverage on TransWorld SKATEboarding including a weekend recap and look at the HRLD Photo Exhibition.

The "Skate Industry 101" panel discussion hosted by G-Shock was moderated by Steve Rodriguez with guest speakers including Ryan Clements (The Boardr), Aaron Bittner (Skullcandy), Cullen Poythress (adidas Action Sports), and Skin Phillips (adidas Skateboarding).

The winner of the HHF Wildcard Division of The Boardr Am was Shawn Butler. He’ll receive an all-expenses paid trip to the Empire Am Getting Paid contest in Montreal, Canada in September.
