Apparently Red Bull has an unlimited supply of money to dump into random, although interesting and unique, events and now they are focusing on their sites on skateboarding. Get ready for the Red Bull Mississippi Grind. On Labor Day Weekend, Red Bull will depart Saint Paul, MN on the largest floating skate barge the Mississippi River has ever seen. This all-concrete skate park, built by Spohn Ranch, will be assembled in St Paul, MN, then make stops in major ports along the river-way over the course of 35 days for the ultimate skate journey. Each port city will have opportunities for local riders and global pros to ride the Barge Park. They will be launching from the Twin Cities at Upper Riving Landing on Saturday, September 3, 2011 and making stops at Quad Cities, IA September 9th & 10th, St. Louis, MO September 17th & 18th then it is off to the finals in New Orleans on October 9th.

The Battle at Wizard’s Wedge 2 is being held today starting at 6pm. It’s going down during the Bastille Day Block Party in Minneapolis. Check here for more details.
