Skitch Skate Shop (Grafenwöhr) and JUZ Weiden teamed up to host an electrifying skate competition, bringing together skaters of all ages and skill levels to showcase their talent, passion, and love for the sport.
An Unforgettable Day of Skateboarding
The event took place at Weiden’s newly opened skatepark, an exciting addition to the local skate scene. Skaters from all over Germany—including Nuremberg, Regensburg, and even Cologne—gathered to compete, support each other, and celebrate skateboarding culture.
The competition featured three main divisions:

- Adult Division – More experienced riders competed for cash prizes and premium skate gear.
- Open Division – A category for everyone, where skaters could push their limits regardless of age or experience.

One of the most intense moments of the day was the Best Trick session. Skaters went all out, landing jaw-dropping flips, grinds, and slides in hopes of scoring the top prize. The energy was electric, with the crowd cheering on every daring attempt. Those who landed the most impressive tricks walked away with cash rewards and bragging rights!
