The organizers are ready to welcome the best riders to participate in the World Skateboarding Cup and the FMB World Tour. Contrary to the FMB, the most important skate contest of the year will be held in Spain for the first time and will host only the world's best street skaters. Why important? Because this year Arnette O’Marisquino will be the final phase of the World Skateboarding Cup! The Silver event of the Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour returns to Vigo after last year's succes with only one goal in mind - top the last year. The event will also feature free concerts and DJ sets throughout the nights. What more you can ask for?
The final leg of WSC will see mostly three skaters battling out for the win. Greg Luzka (USA)sits currently in the first place with a good advantage over Kelvin Hoefler (Brazil) who will go after the win here for sure (he won three World Skateboarding Cup's in 2011). The third place belongs to Madrid's superstar Danny Leon who rises unstoppable each year and will be there in Arnette O´Marisquiño defending his title from 2013. Whole event will be commentated by a living myth and one of the most important people in the skateboarding history, Dave Duncan.
Every competition has its winners and surprises. It seems as everyone is talking about Nicholi Rogatkin, the newest superstar of the FMB World Tour who receives ovations wherever he turns up. I am not going to explain what is so special about him, just watch below video and you will understand. Now, here is your chance to see him live in Spain.
