2021 USA SKATEBOARDING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS PRESENTED BY TOYOTA

Together with Toyota, The Berrics, and CA Training Facility, USA Skateboarding - the governing body for skateboarding in the United States - created a new contest format combining both video submissions and an in-person finals round. USA Skateboarding developed a virtual national championships event format to allow skateboarders to earn Olympic Qualifying points at the national championships while minimizing the risks of hosting an event and gathering in large groups during the pandemic. The National Championships were open to all athletes who met the eligibility requirements of USA Skateboarding competing in Men’s and Women’s Park and Men’s and Women’s Street.
