The fourth Thursday of November is celebrated as Thanksgiving in the United States every year. Families gather on this day to acknowledge the harvest and blessing of the entire year. The grand meal consists of turkeys, stuffed bread, pumpkin pies, etc. But this festival actually is a great day for skateboarders.
While it is one of the busiest holidays at home, the streets are mostly empty. Unoccupied roads and lanes allow skateboarders to freely practice and experiment with new tricks and moves. There is no fear of pedestrian or vehicle interference which acts as a niche for the skateboarders.

Thanksgiving this year is on 25 November. Many skateboarders following street style might grab this chance of rehearsing on the streets.
Thanksgiving acts as an opportunity for the street skateboarders
Street skateboarding is a form of skateboarding that involves practicing stunts on flat ground, urban areas, and public places. Grinds, slides, and aerials together give rise to this discipline of skateboarding.
Thanksgiving is now one of the best days of the year for skateboarders because of the free streets. The fact that the streets and roads are vacant during this day of the year helps them skateboard openly.
