This year's Czech Skate Cup began in Teplice skatepark, where sixty riders joined to compete in the Czech Skate Cup Street Contest and Day for Kids.

The competition itself started around noon with the Day for Kids campaign, which was held for the youngest skaters. The youngest contender was five year old Šimon Kroupa from Litvínov. After Day for Kids the main street competition took place.

The competition was paused just for a short time due to light rain. Luckily the skatepark was spared from the big storms that swept through the rest of the country, so the rest of the competition ran without any big problems.

The city of Teplice is rightly proud of its skatepark. The prize was handed over by the Deputy Mayor Mr. Hynek Hanza, who was at the birth of the skate park, and was glad that the Czech Skate Cup started in his city. Czech Skate Cup is being held by Czech Skateboarding Associaction (Czech Skateboarding) with the support of Vans, Theeve Trucks, Powell Peralta, Ambassadors.

This year's first bowl event also premiered on Sunday 10th of June in Chomutov, where there was also a rainy start.

Unfortunately, the competition wasn't injury free as Brett Whitley had a serious injury, after he "slammed" on the ground and ended up in Chomutov hospital. Brett, we wish you fast recovery! The contest was won by Martin Jurášek and Ivo Prášek took the best trick with a backside fingerflip over the hip. //

Letošní ČSP 2018 odstrartovalo v teplickém skateparku, kde se sešlo na šedesát jezdců do závodu Day for Kids a ČSP Street. Samotný závod začal v poledních hodinách akcí Day for kids, určenou nejmladším zájemcům o skateboarding a tím doslova nejmladším byl teprvě pětiletý Šimon Kroupa z Litvínova! Na Day for Kids navázal samotný street, který byl přerušen jen jedním lehkým deštíkem a na rozdíl od zbytku republiky, byl teplický skatepark ušetřen výraznější bouřky a závod se odjel bez problémů. Město Teplice je na svůj skatepark právem hrdé a ceny na konci předával náměstek primátora pan Hynek Hanza, který stál u zrodu skateparku a náležitě ocenil start ČSP právě v Teplicích. ČSP pořádá Česká asociace skatebaordingu za podpory firem Vans, Theeve Trucks, Powell Peralta a Ambassadors.

Svou letošní premiéru má za sebou i bowl, který se rozjel za deštivého počasí v neděli 10.6. v Chomutově. Bohužel se závodu nevyhlo vážné zranění Bretta Whitleyho, který si dal "placku" o zem a skončil v chomutovské nemocnici. Brette, přejeme brzké uzdravení!. Závod samotný pak vyhrál Martin Jurášek a best trick si odnesl Ivo Prášek za backside fingerflip over the hip.
