The World Rookie Tour is heading to Italy for one of the most exciting stops of the 2026 skateboarding season. From September 11th to 13th, the brand-new Garda Rookie Fest will take place at Go Fast Skatepark in Riva del Garda, bringing together the next generation of skateboarders for a weekend of progression, competition and community.
The event is open to male and female riders in two age categories:
- Rookie: born between January 1st, 2007 and December 31st, 2010
- Grom: born after January 1st, 2011
All athletes must compete in the category corresponding to their year of birth.
The skateboarding program includes free training sessions on Friday and Saturday, followed by the Skateboard Ramp Contest Qualifications on Sunday morning and the Finals on Sunday afternoon. A special Best Trick Contest for both Skateboard and BMX riders will take place on Saturday evening.
The stakes are high: all skateboard athletes finishing on the podium in their category will qualify for the 2026 World Rookie Tour Skateboard Finals, while the winner of the Rookie category will receive a free entry package including accommodation and registration for the Finals.
