Building on its unique mission of melding a skatepark with a fight for food security in Dallas and surrounding areas, The 4DWN Project partnered with EarthX Film and Dickies Skateboarding to present The 4DWN Experience. Our day-long festival featured pro-skateboarding, DJ & live music, skate contests, film screenings, workshops, farming, food, drinks and community. The event was held on Nov. 5 at The 4DWN Project in Dallas.

The 4DWN Experience’s Rob Cahill and Mike Crum hosted professional skaters from around the world to show off their skills in a Pro Vert Ramp Best Trick Contest. Some of the world’s best skaters joined us, including Olympic gold medalist Keegan Palmer and five-time X-Games gold medalist Jimmy Wilkins and a full array of skateboarding legends, including, Chris Russell, Alex Perelson, Guy Mariano, Darren Navarrette, Stevie Williams, Josh Rodriguez, Kareem Campbell, Dylan Jaeb, Shea Donavan, Matt Dove & more.

In addition to skating, the event offered local food, a full day of workshops on topics ranging from vertical farming to composting to creating circular systems and more, as well as film screenings with filmmakers in attendance for on-stage panel conversations, raffle prizes and guest speakers.
