The Tech Deck Games, which will take place at Hop King in London on 11th May, will see GB Team skateboarder Alex DeCunha showcasing his skills and judging the competition.
Fingerboarding brand Tech Deck is inviting competitors to show off their flips and tricks at the Tech Deck Games taking place this May. During the last hour of the drop-in, those who are up for a challenge and feel their skills are medal-worthy will take to the Tech Deck ramps and compete in the UK’s first Tech Deck Games.
Competitors will show off their best flips and tricks using provided Tech Deck boards at Hop King skatepark, in the heart of London. On hand will be Team GB skateboarder, Alex DeCunha, who will adjudicate the competition before deciding which of the competitors will win Gold, Silver or Bronze.
Alex will also perform a live demo on the day, whilst Team Rubicon, the UK’s biggest provider of skateboard lessons, will be at Hop King to host drop-in skate sessions throughout the day too.
The event is taking place ahead of the launch of Tech Deck’s Olympic product range which will hit shelves from May 2024. The new range will include updated boards and three new ramp play sets which have all been endorsed by Olympic athletes including, teenage sensation and Olympic medallist, Sky Brown; member of the SLS 9 Club, Shane O’Neil and World Champion, Aurélien Giraud.
Richard Dickson, general manager UK & ROI at Spin Master, said: “Tech Deck is a pioneer when it comes to championing skateboarding and we are very excited to be bringing the first ever Tech Deck Games to the masses. The Tech Deck Games will also help celebrate the launch of our new Olympic range which has the backing of some of the biggest names in the sport.
“The Tech Deck Games is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to get involved and try their hand at fingerboarding, and we’re delighted to have Alex DeCunha and Team Rubicon onboard to help judge the competition and offer live demonstrations to the attendees.”
Fingerboard afficionados will be able to battle it out to become the first UK’s first Tech Deck Gold medallist at Hop King on Saturday 11th May. Readers interested in booking a place in the Tech Deck Games should email techdeck@spinmaster.com.
