Red Bull pro skaters will join amateurs to compete for cash prizes in an Olympic-sized bowl competition and jam session.
WHAT: City Walk Skatepark will transform into the ultimate bowl skating competition for the first ever Red Bull Bowl-B-Que. Amateur riders from across the country will be competing for an array of cash prizes. The event features exciting competitions such as the Best Street Trick, Best Bowl Trick, and “Grill Master” accolade. Judging criteria will focus on the overall impression of each skater’s performance – considering commitment, creativity, distance traveled through tricks, speed, style, flow, and power. Innovation and difficulty will be particularly rewarded. Red Bull Bowl-B-Que is free to the public.
WHO: Red Bull Bowl-B-Que is open to all participants. Registration is $10 at entry. Those under 18 will require a parent/guardian present.
In addition to amateurs, Red Bull Bowl-B-Que will feature some of the best rippers from across the country. Pros will demo their best tricks prior to the competition.
