Some snippets from WSG 2026 taken by @jackxmeyn from @getthatsk8 .

Again thanks everyone for the follow and support, throughout this whole journey. The words and messages meant a lot, thanks everyone who helped make this happen. Especially @stephenenglebrecht  @ Ruby's unwavering support. I had one hell of a time with friends and family. I'm looking forward to the next event, and even though - I unfortunately didn't make it through the rounds as far as I wanted.. it was an unimaginable experience in all aspects.  I learnt so much and I improved so much. You never stop learning no matter whatever you're at! At least I've come out in once piece 😆. My last world event was in Australia in 2012. And that was the last time I raced and did downhill skateboarding.

Been back just 11 months now after 13 years off! 

Another World Skate event in Thailand next month🇹🇭 . Hoping weather holds up ok for everything to go forward there ! ⛈️

@hopkin_skate @beanypanya wouldn't be here in the first place without them to reignite the fire 🔥

⚡️WSG Slalom – Practice Day⚡️

The day started really well, Everyone noticed the road was a lot more slippery than expected because of the extra dust and dirt that's been around after recent rain. But as the day progressed, the track cleaned up and a lot more grip came through as people ran through the cones. It was cool to see everyone getting the hang of the track, and the mood was great as the crew were getting dialed in.

We had to stop for a bit when some rain came through, and were still getting light sprinkles every now and again, but it was fairly consistently sunny, so it dried up quickly. Talking to the aussies, most riders were still dialling in their setups with a few small changes to feel more confident on the hill. It was a great start to the day and the competition.

Moving into the afternoon block, everyone started adjusting to the hybrid course. It was a bit of a surprise to see it featured mainly offsets rather than inline cones, so it demanded a lot of turning and pumping. That caught the team a little off guard, especially on a steeper gradient than most are used to, and it really pushed the limits of a lot of riders' ability. Only a few competitors made it down the whole course without hitting a cone, and we saw a lot of time penalties and potential DQs from riders across the world. Our riders did really well but were still not able to get down clean on their innitial runs.
Unfortunately, weather came in and brought the event to a complete stop. There was lots of waiting, and only a few people got more than one run, which was frustrating since everyone was still learning the course. After waiting it out the rain never let up so the day finished before we could get into practising on the tight slalom course.

Despite the small amount of practice the team is stoked and keen to begin the competition with Giant Slalom tomorrow.

All live streams will be shared on our stories, please check it out and support the crew! 

Massive thanks to all supporters of this years team at the world skate games
