Red Bull Rio Conquest is the third installment of our exhilarating skateboarding tour that celebrates the vibrant skate culture found in remarkable cities across the world.

These city-center showdowns bring together a fusion of top-notch local and international skateboarding talent, all vying for victory in an unpredictable event where any participant has a chance to claim the crown.

Setting itself apart from other street skate contests, Red Bull Conquest adopts a unique one-on-one sudden-death knockout format.
