This event looks to the future by celebrating the incredible young talent emerging from Southsea Skatepark and the community that continues to shape it.

The day will showcase the championship and Olympic level talent with demos from past and present local riders who first called the skatepark home and have since gone on to wider success. Alongside will be opportunities for signings and meet-and-greets with the inspirational riders. Our overall positive aim is for Portsmouth young people to see that they too can build the talent and get the opportunities to succeed in their passion for wheeled sports.

Visitors will be invited to join a “roll with the crew” session, riding, skating, or scooting alongside the pros. ShredAcademy, the skatepark’s coaching academy, can be highlighting what they offer with their on-site presence, banners, and a potential mini demo from the current intake of young riders starting their journey in wheeled sports.

This event is designed to be inclusive for all ages and abilities, and will feature a dedicated beginners’ area with free, grab-and-go equipment hire and trained staff on hand to support fun, safe participation.

The event will be free entry for under 16s to maximise the opportunity for local young people to get involved and donations will also be encouraged, with the money going to support our skatepark beginners with more hire equipment, new beginners ramps & obstacles and much more.
