Qualifying Rounds
Competitors will be pitted against each other through the qualifying rounds. Thus where judges will consider use-of-park, variation, style and tricks when making their selection of skaters advancing into the finals. Competitors will compete for their share of the R60 000.00 prize purse and exclusive prizes from the official event partners. The tournament will conclude with the Best Trick competition open to all competing skaters. The winner is set to take home DJI’s lightest and most compact drone to date, the DJI Neo valued at R7000.
Street Lines organiser Ryan van der Spuy says, “It has been an exciting year for skateboarding with various events around the country and South African athletes competing at the Olympic Games. We are equally excited to add to that list with this year’s Street Lines Skate Tournament and to offer a platform to the country’s best to compete in. Thus, this contest has been created so that skaters can grow, and to develop the sport locally. Also, it allows up-and-coming talent to compete in a professionally run contest. So, we look forward to seeing what unfolds on 12 October and crowning the 2024 champions.”
