Tuesday, September 8, 2020
From the mind of Ryan Sheckler comes Red Bull Solus, an exciting all-digital skate contest. Launching today, Red Bull Solus features 13 of the world’s leading professional skateboarders competing to deliver the best continuous line from the SC Sandlot, Sheckler’s private skatepark in San Clemente, California.

All-digital competition format promises exciting skateboarding from 13 of the world’s best.

“In a year where all of the professional contests were cancelled, I’m super excited to have a fun and innovative contest that is for skaters and by skaters,” said Sheckler. “Red Bull Solus is going to show the overall flow of some of the best dudes in the world.”

For the exciting new digital competition, each skater was invited for a solo session at the SC Sandlot to film their best continuous line – a 45-second to one-minute run – for a panel of three judges. The video entries will be unveiled over the coming weeks on RedBull.com/Solus and across Red Bull Skateboarding and Transworld Skateboarding social media channels.

The name Solus, translated from its Latin origin, means alone or unaccompanied, which reflects the unique solo competition format of Red Bull Solus. Skate competitions around the world have been canceled or postponed due to the global pandemic and Red Bull Solus presents an opportunity for fans to enjoy the best that the sport has to offer. Even Skateboarding’s Olympic debut this summer was postponed, along with the rest of the games, until 2021.

Among the 13 entries are three-time X Games gold medalist Sheckler, who is defending his home park against USA Skateboarding National Team skaters Zion Wright and Jagger Eaton, as well as a host of other top athletes including Ishod Wair, Taylor Kirby, Dominick Walker, the free-spirited Greyson Fletcher and 17-year-old phenom CJ Collins.

A three-person panel of industry professionals, Mike Sinclair, Kyle Berard and Jaime Owens, will judge Red Bull Solus, assessing style, progression, and creativity. Along with the winning prize purse, the athlete will also receive $2,500 to donate to a local skate shop of their choice, supporting businesses that have struggled in recent months due to shutdowns across the retail sector. Fans will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite line and award one skater the fan favorite award, exclusively on RedBull.com/Solus

Final results are set to be revealed September 27 with an announcement on RedBull.com/Solus and on Red Bull Skateboarding’s YouTube channel. An hour-long Red Bull Signature Series episode featuring the competition is also scheduled to air on Sunday, September 27 on Fox Sports 1. Check your local listings.
