With #skatetok driving 2.3Bn views on TikTok and wider social platforms, the appetite for skateboarding is booming. Embracing the inclusivity of skateboarding, Samsung takes this passion to the next level with the upcoming launch of its ‘Drop in with Samsung Flip Park’, challenging everyone to have the guts to try it.
Inspired by the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5, this is more than a skatepark – it’s a new place to hang, share, create and express yourself. This free, two-week event programme will immerse guests in all the best elements of this world – from art to music, tech and fashion, encouraging everybody to unleash their inner skateboarder.
