ORLANDO, FL – On January 10th, 2014 the Orlando Convention Center West Concourse had some real excitement happening in amateur action sports as young and old skateboarders converged to compete in the first-ever indoors skate park, built exclusively for the Volcom Wild In The Parks skateboarding contest. The competition featured some very well-known skaters and some unknowns. In the end 21 shredders advanced their chances at ranking nationally in the United States with invitations to skate in the 2014 Championships.
