Three days of skateboarding, international riders and community vibes marked the 15th anniversary of Bring da Truckaz in its brand-new home.
The 15th edition of BDTSK8 – Bring da Truckaz is officially in the books. From August 21st to 23rd, 2026, skateboarders from across Europe took over the new Druckbude Skatehalle Chemnitz for a weekend packed with Street, Bowl and plenty of sessions.
This year’s edition was extra special: BDTSK8 celebrated its 15th anniversary, bringing together Kids, Girls, Rookies and Pros and mixing the next generation with experienced riders and the international skate community.
Once again, the World Rookie Tour was part of the action, with young talents battling for valuable points for the World Rookie Rank and their chance to continue the road towards the season finale in Slovenia.
Alois Dolezal and Lela Helfenstein top the WRT rankings:
In the WRT Boys ranking, Alois Dolezal took the top spot, ahead of Pavel Pokorny in second and Karel Lukas in third. The same three riders also claimed the podium in the Rookies Street contest, in the same order.
In the WRT Girls ranking, Lela Helfenstein finished on top, ahead of Eliska Rezakova in second and Lina Sager in third. Lela also took the win in the Girls Bowl contest, with Eliska second and Lina third. In the separate Girls Street contest, the victory went to Lou Steiner, followed by Lela Helfenstein and Lily Jäger.
With Street and Bowl competitions running across different BDTSK8 categories throughout the weekend, the WRT rankings remained the key results for the World Rookie Tour, counting towards the road to the 2026 World Rookie Skateboard Finals in Celje.
