Skateboard GB Presents "The Thing"

We are excited to launch "The Thing", a short documentary which follows some of the Skateboard GB national team on a trip to Ostia, Italy, in preparation for the 2023 Skateboard Park World Championships.

To compete and win is important, but not as important as the journey. Now more than ever, with the world watching, taking notes and a sports filter being applied, it's essential to do this 'thing' authentically and be as "true to skateboarding" as possible.

Skateboard GB Performance Manager Darren Pearcy said:
"We're here because we love skateboarding. It's as simple as that. We will not compromise skateboarding's values or culture for competitive success, but we will use them to drive us to where we want to go. Success at the destination should be the outcome of a meaningful and fun journey. It's got to be 'bigger than the rings', or it's not worth doing."

The Thing is the journey.
The Thing is to compete.
The Thing is to have fun.
The Thing is skateboarding.

Thank You Skateboard GB Team!

The time is upon us; the Tokyo 2020 Olympics starts today, and this will be the first time skateboarding is included in the games.

We want to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to the Skateboard GB team and all of the skateboarders who represented Great Britain over the last three years.

It takes great courage, dedication and effort to compete at an international level, and for that, we can’t thank you enough.

Skateboarders qualify for the Olympic Games by competing at World Skate qualification events. The top twenty ranked skateboarders (in each discipline) book themselves a place in Tokyo.

Each country is allowed 3 athletes per gender, per event. For example, USA may have 7 skaters in the top 20, but only the first 3 would qualify. We then display this as a 'Clean List' rank.

Both Sky Brown qualified in 3rd position and Bombette Martin in 19th (on a clean list) and will compete for @TeamGB in Tokyo.

Alex Hallford placed in 35th / 23rd clean
Alex Decunha placed in 34th / 23rd clean
Jordan Thackeray placed in 80th / 62nd clean
Sam Beckett placed in 83rd / 64th clean

Thank you again. You did Skateboard GB proud!
