Every Banger from Prague’s 24th Mystic Cup.

New faces wow a full house in the Prague sunshine during a finals dogfight that was pulsing with energy and atmosphere.

Endslate: Now fully 24 years deep, the Mystic Cup’s attendees are generations-long, with locals who may have entered here back in the 1990s now returning with their partners and children to pass the flame along; a wonderful thing to see. Outside of the industry axis, the Mystic Cup has been building on all fronts steadily and this year, even with the additional seating and maximized usage of vantage points, it was still packed to the rafters for Sunday’s finals on the new course. They simply can't get any more fans in; people scaled the very structural joists of the marquee itself to watch and whoop, eyes wide with anticipation. How many skate events can genuinely say that in 2018?

The first ever slopestyle skate course. | Red Bull Roller Coaster 2018 in Munich, Germany

We bring you a first look at how it was made and how it skates, as the circus rolls into town at Red Bull Roller Coaster! Join Zion Wright and Jamie Foy as they present the new FIRST EVER Slopestyle Skate Course (or skateboarding assault course) built up in the German city of Munich, at the Olympic Park. As you are by now doubtless aware, the ever-excellent Munich Mash festival took place this weekend in the Bavarian capital – and this year it sees the debut of Red Bull Roller Coaster, a 300m long skateboarding assault course designed to establish who can best handle all-terrain business at breakneck speed.
Unlike other skate competitions, the 300m slopestyle course is designed to combine street, bowl and vert elements, challenging athletes to display a wide range of skill to win. Already confirmed are the top US skaters Jamie Foy (street) and Zion Wright (all-terrain), as well as the European elite Alex Sorgente (bowl) and Jaakko Ojanen (street).
