All these young rippers have been able to live a great life experience, also with many lifestyle activities: Brand Village with Gummi Love (Safer Sex) and Viva Con Agua (Water Care Project) and the really appreciated Mini Ramp Session (cash for trick format) in the City Downtown on Friday evening.

Saturday during the Best Foot Forward contest rookies have been the possibility to training with all the participants and many of them participate also at this contest. But THE day was Sunday 2^nd October, where all the people attend the new World Rookie Champions!

Vitus Silas Sondrup from Denmark became the World Rookie Skateboard Champion 2022 with a solid run and solid tricks, in front of Vilém Jakes from the Czech Republic and Yakov Terrell from Israel. The new World Rookie Skateboard Champion on the girl’s side is Antonie Bakosova from the Czech Republic, follow from Daysi Buchanan from Scotland and Bettina Burgi from Switzerland.

On the girl’s side, Laura Zackova from the Czech Republic won up Julia Plaggenborg from Netherlands and Gaia Urbinati from Italy.

Curious to know the big prizes for them? The Male Rookie Champion receives a wildcard to the legendary Simple Session 2023, and many podium skaters where awarded with invitations to the Mystic Sk8 Cup 2023. A Golden ticket for the first Grom Men and the first Grom Women, so they can participate in the all World Rookie Tour Skateboard events 2023 and on top of these amazing prizes all the podium riders got many products from our partners Blue-Tomato, TSG, Fuel.tv and Jail Jam.

Athens Rookie Fest 2022 was awesome! That was the first time for WRT skate contest in Greece. Submitions went beyond our expectations with 45 riders ready to shred the park around 17:00. The crowd was pushing the riders to compete with positive vibes, for about 4 hours until the finals. Everyone gave their best!

We witnessed tons of good tricks! Sotiris Kolovos ripped every object of the park and won the best over all prize! Marianna Panagiotaki also did an amazing run at the finals, hitting almost everything first try and took the best over all prize for the girls! What we liked most, was that the winners started throwing their gifts to the audience! Sharing and caring for their friends, what a wonderful feeling. This is something  that adults should think of doing more in their lifes.

Respect to the riders, to the amazing audience, to the sponsors and everyone who believed and contributed to make this contest happen! We want to thank each one of you! We promise that next year we ll be back with more surprises and even more presents for everyone!

The first ever South East Asian Rookie Fest is in the books! Over 100 people gathered at the Factory Skatepark in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on August 28. Orchestrated by the Cambodian Skateboard Federation, the growing local skate scene worked hard to bring up this amazing event. The Black Yeti, who travelled all the way to this beautiful tropical country, came back very happy!

The format involved two runs of 60 seconds, followed by 5 best tricks attempts. An international panel of five judges (Colombia, Australia, Switzerland and Cambodia) considered the best run plus the three best tricks for the final ranking. Only male skaters have participated in this edition but the success of this first event will no doubt create some interest amongst the girls. Developing skateboard is the overall purpose of the national federation and is our mission too!

We’ve seen a good level of riding and can’t wait to host Cambodians at the finals! Here are the winners:

Podium Rookies

1/ Van Yintola
2/ Doung Chansovanrattanak
3/ Chou Chanvy

Podium Groms

1/ Ouch Phyayuth
2/ Khem Chansak
3/ Pech Kimlong

National press largely covered the contest and no less than three national TV channels have broadcasted detailed reportages on the event. Several DJs and local animations gave an extra dose of good vibes. The local fish soup was on the riders’ menu together with German dishes to further make the Cambodia Rookie Fest 2022 a delicious venture.

The organization is proud to have had the event endorsed by His Excellency Doung Meas Chamreun, Deputy Director of the General Directorate of Sports at the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports; His Excellency Tem Moeun, Deputy General Secretary of the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia; and His Excellency Chich Karona, Vice-President of Youth, Local institutions and Public Relations at the Youth Federation of Cambodia.

Congratulations to all!

Boys under 15 was the most competitive group of all. The number one Patric Ilut from neighboring Romania, who showed enviable class, took the highest overall score in the whole competition and not to mention he is only 13 years old. He won the first stop of the tour in Romania as well, granting his all-inclusive ticket to the finals 2 week ago.

That sent the all-inclusive ticket for the World finals to Alberto Chakalov from Skateboard Club Five-High who finished second in both Boys Under 15 and Overall ranking. Jan Genev from Genex became third in this age group, with his clean and interesting run line.

The positives of such youth competitions were proven by the significant development accomplished in a year in the Boys category of under 18. The first place was won by Maxim Akramov from Genex with his complex tricks and well-measured risks. Deyan Petkov from Skate Club Burgas was second, and third became Maximilian Epping also from Skate Club Burgas.

All participants received gifts upon registration and the finalists in the individual groups walked away with many more prizes provided by the partners and sponsors of the event.
