How skateboarders train | How Olympians Train

Skateboarding made its exciting debut at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo and immediately caught the attention of a new generation of sports fans. This fast-paced sport comprises two disciplines: street and park. While the street competitions take place in a replica of urban environments, including stairs, railings and benches, the park competitions are held in specially designed concrete pools with different heights and curves.An outstanding example of the fascination of Olympic skateboarding is the youngest medal winner, Sky Brown, who was only 13 years old at the Tokyo Games. This dynamic sport was introduced to attract younger spectators to the Olympic Games and show them that creativity, difficulty, originality and the perfect execution of tricks are the key to success.

Alexis Sablone Presents Skatespace Underexplored Terrain | THE WORLD AROUND SUMMIT 2024

The World Around & The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum present THE WORLD AROUND SUMMIT 2024.

Alexis Sablone might be an Olympic skateboarder, but they are first and foremost a designer and artist. After high school, Sablone enrolled at Columbia’s Barnard College, then trained as an architect at MIT.

Since then, the seven-time X Games medalist has carved out a career that draws on both of their obsessions. Each an experiment in how urban design can strengthen the social fabric of our cities, their large-scale, useable (and skateable) sculptures are designed to encourage the creative ‘misuse’ of public spaces, and invite a wide, ever-expanding spectrum of communities to share their stewardship. To date, their projects have revitalised a public square in Malmö, Sweden, brought permanence and color to courts in Montclair, New Jersey, and allowed skaters and non-skaters alike to spend time on the waterfront in Lisbon, Portugal.

Through their practice, Sablone aims to create spaces for a dialogue that cuts across the differences of age, race and gender. “I am continually surprised and inspired to learn how different people think about the world and the projects they pursue as a result,” they said. “Talking and sharing ideas can only lead to new ways of thinking and practicing. So, for me, an event like this is an opportunity to be a part of architectural discourse, to engage, learn, and remain curious.”

The event was hosted in partnership with The World Around Global Cultural Partner Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain.

Alexis Sablone | Red Bull SŌLUS 2021 Entry

Ryan Sheckler has once again opened the doors to his skatepark and invited 17 of the world’s most well-rounded skateboarders to battle it out in year two of Red Bull SŌLUS. Each skater has one hour to put together their best line at The Sandlot; no crowd, no other skaters, no distractions - just an internal battle to get the best line possible.

Possibly the smartest skater in the Solus contest, Alexis Sablone has two master’s degrees to go along with her 20 plus year career in the skate spotlight. She is a legend of street skateboarding that commands the respect from the core group of the anti-contest skaters, while still being able to have that same audience cheer her on while she competes in the recent Tokyo Olympics. That’s the range all skaters want.

Alexis skates for Alltimers, Converse, Orchard Skate Shop, Thunder, and Dialtone.

Our judges, Vanessa Torres, Mike Sinclair, and Jason Rothmeyer, will evaluate each video based on style, progression and creativity. Following the judges announcement, you will have a chance to vote on your favorite video part and the fan favorite will be announced on October 20th.
