SKATE INTO THE FUTURE

Skateboarding is plastered nowadays about everywhere you look. It’s in major motion pictures, on TV, on billboards. And you see them in the streets and parks. No wonder skateboarding is included in the Olympics.

Technology and innovation develop rapidly and new applications are adopted. No doubt technology and innovation have their impact in skateboarding, now and in the future.

That's why we organise the SKATEBOARD INNOVATION SUMMIT! After part I in 2020, we invite you now for part II. Meet the innovators on October 19.

Skateboarding according to:

"All skateboarding is putting ideas into action." - Marc Johnson

"The Olympic Games need skateboarding more than we need them." - Tony Hawk

"Failure is a part of life. If you don’t fail, you don’t learn. If you don’t learn you’ll never change…" - unknow author

"I fell in love with skateboarding because it was individual; there were no teams, there were no captains, there was nothing to perfect. No style that had to be measured. It was completely opposite of what I saw in so many sports. It was creative. And to this day, that's what I love, that's always kept me back to it because it's endless creation." - Rodney Mullen

"Date a skater - we break bones, not hearts." - unknown author
