The basic rules are pretty simple: Participants must ride their own skateboard under their own power from start to finish and not have a gap of more than 2 meters between skaters.  Helmets required for those under 18 and a parent or guardian must be present for those under 12 years.

The record attempt will take place in the Venice High School Centennial Parade on the morning of Sunday 27 June. The parade cover about two miles and will begin at Pacific Avenue and South Venice Boulevard and move east to Beethoven Street, south to Zanja Avenue and onto the Venice High School campus.  At the conclusion of the parade there will be a festival on campus.
