With the Tampa Am just around the corner, the Skatepark of Tampa announced that the Pro Vert Legends Demo would return at the SPoT for this year’s event. The demo will happen on Friday, October 13, at 7:30 PM.

Visit Skate Park of Tampa for the Tampa Am full schedule.

For 29 years now, Tampa Am has been the platform for premier amateurs from across the globe to showcase their skills and make a name for themselves in the world of skateboarding.

Many of the winners of the early Tampa Ams went on to become professional skateboarders, so winning this competition eventually became synonymous with having a successful career in skateboarding.

In partnership with Samsung, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has launched a unique online competition called the Let’s Move Street Challenge. The competition is open to BMX, Breaking and Skateboarding enthusiasts over the age of 13.

Participants are required to showcase their best sporting moves and creative talent in a 30-second video entry on Olympics.com.

The entries will be judged by a panel of experts and influential faces from across the three sports. In addition, sports fans can vote for their “fan favorite” videos.

The winners will receive a special, behind-the-scenes trip to an Olympic Games qualification event for these sports.

The Let’s Move Street Challenge aims to inspire and enable young people to embrace the joy of movement and a more active lifestyle by practising urban sports.

The competition is open for submissions from 23rd September 00:00 CEST to 21st October 24:00 CEST. For more details about the competition, visit Olympics.com.

The Let’s Move Street Challenge winners will be crowned in November during a streamed show celebrating the sports, their communities and culture, their athletes and the Let’s Move Street Challenge competitors.

This initiative builds on the IOC’s Let’s Move campaign, which was launched on Olympic Day 2023 in response to the World Health Organization’s findings that one in four adults and over 80% of young people don’t meet the recommended minimum activity levels needed for optimum health.

Rotterdam was recently buzzing with excitement as it played host to an epic skateboarding extravaganza that brought together a stellar lineup of talented individuals from across the globe.

The world’s most renowned skateboarders, including the likes of Adrien Bulard, Sewa Kroetkov, Matias Dell’Olio, Nassim Guammaz, and many others, took over the skatepark and wowed the crowd with their awe-inspiring skills.

But it was the 13-year-old skateboarding prodigy Tijmen Overbeek who stole the show. He clinched the Best Trick title with his Flyover Bigspinflip frontside boardslide shovit out and drove away in style in the Volkswagen Cabriolet. What an awesome event!
