As the first event in the Olympic Qualifying season #2 finished in Rio, we put another one in the books. Turned out with a lot of hard work, from a lot of dedicated people, that Mother Nature couldn’t keep us down. The level of skating continues to elevate from event to event in both park and street.

OI STU OPEN 2019 EVENT RECAP

We put another one in the books this past weekend In Rio de Janeiro. Turned out with a lot of hard work, from a lot of dedicated people, that Mother Nature couldn’t keep us down. The level of skating continues to elevate from event to event in both park and street. With major runs going down in park and with a couple of eye openers going down in street, those in attendance or watching the broadcast were treated to something special. We have a strong, creative, progressive community of people competing in and putting on these events, never more evident than at this past one in Rio. Big thank-you to everyone involved...CBSK, STU, World Skate staff, all of our national federations and especially to very one that showed up and competed. All the love in the world. See you at the next one.
