Following the success of previous events in Oberhausen, Germany and Warsaw, Poland, Nokia will host its 3rd youth lifestyle event in Manchester, UK on October 13th. The event, going under the name, Totally Board, will feature a variety of music and board sports entertainment.
"We are very pleased to host this music and board sports inspired event in Manchester, UK," said Pekka Rantala, Vice President, Marketing Services, Nokia Mobile Phones, Europe and Africa. "This year's Totally Board event has a particular focus on music to reflect the growing presence of music in mobile entertainment."
For 12 hours, two music stages will feature the latest rap, hip-hop and indie-rock sounds. Top athletes such as snowboarders Dani Costandaché from Switzerland and Nico Droz from France will display their skills at the event. Other highlighted sports will be freeskiing, and in-line skating. A vert ramp will showcase skateboarding and BMX biking. A more than 20-meter high snowboard ramp will be the venue of a Big Air competition. During the event, the audience will be able to SMS chat nonstop on their mobile phones with messages displayed on a giant SMS chat board. Club Nokia, Nokia's on-line community for Nokia phone owners, will be present with a music bar, Club Nokia services and games.
