Wild In The Parks bring together skaters of all skill levels in a fun, creative, and highenergy contest environment. Registration is free, and skaters qualify for the European Championships in the following categories:
• 15 & under

• Women’s and men’s divisions

Contest Format:
Competitors skate in jams (heats) of 10–15 skaters for 15 minutes, simultaneously performing tricks across three zones judged individually.
At the end of each jam, the best trick of each skater in each zone is added up for ranking, so skaters are not penalized when they bail, and the nonstop action keeps the energy levels high.
Prizes & Finals
As always, there will be tons of prizes from Volcom and event partners, plus cash prizes at selected locations, and free drinks for participants.
Qualified skaters will be able to compete for the €10,000 prize money European Wild
