Online Game of the Skateboarding National Championships!
Did you know, the first ever Skateboarding National Championships created as an online game has been launched?
This will be the first ever skateboarding National Championships which allows anyone to compete in an online version.
Players are able to take part in an identical replica of the course used for the Skateboard GB National Championships taking place later this month.
True Skate and Skateboard GB have joined forces to create an Esports Event where players compete on a brand new street course which is a copy of the BaySixty6 skatepark in London used in the finals of the real competition. Each player can enter via the True Skate app and compete against thousands of others around the country, from anywhere.
Later this year the International Olympic Committee will launch the first Olympic Esports Series week in Singapore, with players having the opportunity to progress to the Olympic Esports Finals 2023. The IOC have been supporting the development of virtual sports to create new opportunities for players and fans alike, so the introduction of the first Esport Skateboarding National Championships will be a major step forward in skateboarding being included in the Olympic Esports Series, as well as being an Olympic sport.
The online event will be available to play on True Skate until 4th May: Download True Skate via the App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore ......with permission!
The Skateboard GB National Championships Street Event took place on 29th and 30th April at BaySixty6, London.
