Lines will be evaluated according to the World Skate Judging Criteria:

  • Difficulty of Performed Tricks
  • Variety of Performed Tricks
  • Quality of Trick Execution and Landing
  • Use of the Course and Individual Obstacles
  • Consistency of the performance
  • Flow of the performance
  • Repetition within the performance

Skateboarders should try and demonstrate the trick standards within their lines where they can

Video should be unedited, and angle and quality must clearly show the whole run

The most preferred method when providing the video submissions is to upload to YouTube and send us a link. We will also accept other video platform links e.g. insta reel, vimeo or files via dropbox.

 

There are very limited spaces as we continue to deliver in the current Hubs and therefore, we expect there to be many more skaters applying than there are places. As the programme grows, there’ll be more opportunities for skateboarders across the UK.

Skateboarders who are not successful through the initial application process will be offered the opportunity to re-apply in 2026
