Big skating tournament again presented in Pretoria
The Street Lines Skate Tournament, which will be presented again in Pretoria in two weeks, has grown into the biggest Skateboarding contest in the country and will have skaters from across South Africa competing, including our 2024 Olympians
The country’s best skaters will battle it out to see who will be crowned event champions in two weeks’ time at the fourth instalment of the Street Lines Skate Tournament.
This event will take place on Saturday 12 October at the legendary Thrashers Skatepark in Pretoria. The action will start at 09:00.
Thrashers Skatepark offers a variety of obstacles allowing competitors to showcase their skills during their runs. The event will feature invited athletes from across South Africa competing in the Men’s and Women’s Divisions, and is also open to up-and-coming skaters to put their skills to the test.
Competitors will be pitted against each other through the qualifying rounds, where judges will take aspects, such as use-of-park, variation, style and tricks into consideration when making their selection of skaters advancing into the finals.
The skaters will be competing for their share of the R60 000.00 prize purse as well as exclusive prizes from the official event partners. The tournament will conclude with the Best Trick competition open to all competing skaters with the winner set to take home a valuable prize in the form of a drone.
“It has been an exciting year for Skateboarding with various events taking place around the country as well as having South African athletes competing at the Olympic Games. We are equally excited to add to that list with this year’s Street Lines Skate Tournament and to offer a platform to the country’s best to compete in. This contest has been created for the skaters, to grow and develop the sport locally, and gives up-and-coming talent the opportunity to compete in a professionally run contest. We are looking forward to seeing what unfolds on 12 October and crowning the 2024 champions,” said the event organiser, Ryan van der Spuy.
