The European Skateboard Championships are open to all skaters from Europe. The top 100 skateboarders in Europe are qualified for the contest on Saturday. A list with names is available on skateboardeurope.com. Please note that skateboarders not mentioned in this list have to skate the prequalification on Friday.

More and more young skateboarders want to enter competitions, to measure their skills with other riders. We created the Junior Champs as a platform for the younger generation of skateboarders at the European Skateboard Championships. The winner will be the Junior European Champion and will be able to compete in the main event together with the top 10 skateboarders from the Junior Champs. The Junior Champs are open to anyone from 0-16 years of age.

Make sure to check the schedule on skateboardeurope.com and for any other information you might need, feel free to contact us.

Do not miss a weekend full of fantastic skateboarding, nice music, good friends. The amount of fun in Basel is the proof for a valid collaboration between etnies, Carhartt and a lot of volunteers, who made it possible for the 9th time in a row to celebrate this defying of gravity, called skateboarding. Additional research partners are Element, Skullcandy, TSG, Red Bull and Basel.
