For the third time we have been named the World Rookie Skateboard Champions, none other than the future stars of world skateboarding! The three days in Innsbruck offered a real life experience, not just a competition among the best young skaters in the world.

In a great international scenario, Innsbruck welcomed more than 70 skaters, from 14 different countries: Switzerland, Italy, Netherland, Czech Republic, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria, Denmark, Israel, Greece, Scotland, Germany and of course, Austria. 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 2nd 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.
