Skate shops hailing from all corners of Europe converged in Manchester, England, for the Vans Shop Riot Finals 2023.

Across two action-packed days, the skateboarding community bore witness to an awe-inspiring best trick session atop a piano that kicked off the weekend with a bang, paving the way for the much-anticipated Vans Shop Riot finals on Saturday.

Venero Skate Shop laid claim to the most formidable skate team for the third time in a row.

Vans Shop Riot traces its origins back to a grassroots event at Burnside Skatepark in the Netherlands in 2009.

Since its inception, it has rapidly evolved and continued to expand. Recognizing the pivotal role played by skate shops in nurturing skateboard culture, Vans Shop Riot stands as a dedicated series of contests across Europe, celebrating and supporting these shops and their talented teams.

Local qualifiers serve as the pathway to a yearly European finals event hosted in a different country, ensuring the continued growth and excitement of this remarkable competition.
