ZOOM : SKATEBOARD STREET

SKATEBOARD STREET CONTEST PRESENTED BY CRÉDIT AGRICOLE LANGUEDOC

Initially a simple locomotion vehicle, skateboarding has spread in the 80's to be widely democratized today. The influence of this lifestyle is reflected in the collective imagination of all cultural domains and continues to expand thanks to its inclusion in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. In Street, riders compose runs where tricks count as much as versatility and line commitment. The competition is organized in collaboration with the World Skate and the FFRS.
