From August 21 to 25, 2025, Malaysia hosted the opening stop of the ASEAN Skate Tour, marking an unforgettable celebration of skateboarding in Southeast Asia. Organised with passion and precision by MY Skate Federation, the event brought together the best riders from across the region, creating an atmosphere full of energy, creativity, and community.
The Malaysian stop was not just a competition, but a festival of skateboarding culture. With music, friends, and an electric vibe, the event showcased the rapid growth of skateboarding in the ASEAN region. Riders from Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia delivered an exceptional display of talent, proving that Southeast Asia is becoming a true hotspot for the sport.
This contest also served as an official qualifier for the World Rookie Tour Finals in Slovenia, one of the most prestigious youth skateboarding events worldwide. The top three finishers in both the Boys’ and Girls’ categories secured their spots for the Finals, where they will compete against the best young skaters from all continents.
The Boys’ podium saw Thailand’s Kirin Petkiree (@firas12_sk8) take the gold, followed by Cambodia’s Dante Temara (@dantetemara) in second place, and another Thai talent, Attapon Somaem (@okoko0i), in third.
In the Girls’ division, Chunkao Udomphen (@chunkao_mini) from Thailand impressed everyone with her consistency and style, earning first place. She was joined on the podium by Vereeraya Sukasem (@stvawa_stvawa), also from Thailand, in second, and Quinnara Ayra Darmawan (@quinn_quinnara) from Indonesia, who rounded out the top three.
As winners, both Kirin Petkiree and Chunkao Udomphen also received a full inclusive invitation package for the World Rookie Tour Finals, covering the entire weekend of the event in Slovenia.
The ASEAN Skate Tour stop in Malaysia confirmed that skateboarding in Southeast Asia is rising rapidly. With a mix of style, determination, and youthful energy, the region is ready to leave its mark on the international stage.
The countdown to Slovenia has begun — and the world should get ready for the next generation of skateboarding from ASEAN.
