Streetboard Worlds 2008 at NASS

Following some meetings with the organisers of NASS, Neil Thomson from Highland Streetboards has arranged for the 2008 World Streetboard Championships to take place at the UK based NASS festival www.nassfest.com from the 13th - 15th of June.

This will be the biggest event Streetboarding has ever been a part of with thousands of spectators, media from all over the world and of course the top streetboarders will be competing along side the Pros from Skateboarding, BMX, FMX etc.

Street will be held over 2 days on the Pro Street course designed by top international park designers.

Vert will be on the Vans Vert Ramp.

Spine will be on the Braun Spine Ramp.

NASS (National Adventure Sports Show) has been around for quite a few years and is regarded as one of the top extreme sports competitions in the world. The show takes the form of a music festival with extreme sports so you can expect some top bands and top sport action at the event.

As an added bonus the indoor skate area will be available for public skating at certain times so make sure you bring your board to represent streetboarding alongside the Pros competing in Worlds!

Entrance into this years Streetboard World Championships will be by INVITE ONLY. This is due to the fact that it is being held at such a big event and the time allocated does not allow for long qualifiers. We also want to make sure that only the best riding is on show.

Invites to the event will be sent via email by 02/03/08.

If you do not receive an invite, not all is lost. There will also be wildcards being handed out. Details of how you may obtain a wildcard will be released next week.

That’s right- its time for the final showdown! The final round of the Rolling Dead Streetboard Uprising is finally upon us. This time, however, the contest is opened up to international riders which will sure prove to be an epic battle. The scene for the final round will be Creation Skatepark in Birmingham, UK on December 1st, 2007. Max Anderson (59 points) looks like a sure thing to take the coveted UK crown, but the fight for second place is anyone’s guess. Will Alex Wheeler (36 points) be blessed with injury of the two ahead? Or can the up and coming Simon Johns (46 points) rob Old Man Jay ”Call Me Prince Jamuga Clifford Bolehaps” Nowman (46 points) of the title of “first of the losers”?
Thrown in the mix will be some of the World top riders. Vert, Bowl and Best Trick World Champion; Sergi Nicolas, Thomas Kienle, Christian Kamm and Istvan so far comfirmed all batting for cash prices.
Will Street World Champion Gotthard Pilsner step forward and take the challenge from the undead to a gruelling duel in the heart of the UK? One thins is for sure that you will see Streetboarding pushed ot its limits.
Also on the day will be stalls selling all from boards to DVD’s to candy floss (well don’t quote me on the latter) Plus Streetboarding will be going head to head with UK’s top Mountain Boarders.

The Riders Pack will be available soon.

If interested in attending as a spectator or as a riders please don’t hesitate to contact Neil at:
