New stops, epic finals and insane prizes for the next generation of skate heroes
The wait is over! The World Rookie Tour Skateboard 2025 is officially on, ready to ignite skateparks all over the globe with fresh energy, top locations, and unforgettable experiences.
This year, the WRT family welcomes a new country on the map: for the first time ever, we’re heading to Spain, with an epic stop in Santander! A perfect spot by the ocean, ready to host the best young skaters and bring the WRT vibes to the Spanish scene.
Big news also for Italy: in 2025, the Italian stop moves to a brand-new location — welcome to 101 Skatepark in Cesena, a fresh playground for the next generation of skateboarding talent!
Once again, the unstoppable Black Yeti, with his skateboard under his feet, will travel across Europe to discover and support the future stars of skateboarding.
The adventure kicks off in the heart of the Alps, in France at the iconic Les Deux Alpes, before rolling into Italy and Spain. From there, the tour continues to legendary spots in Scotland and Finland, then drops into the Balkans with a first stop in Bulgaria.
Here, as well as in Germany, riders won’t just face the classic street competition but will also get the chance to express their style and creativity in epic bowl contests — a double challenge for true all-around skaters! The tour keeps cruising with a second stop in Bulgaria, before heading through Hungary and Greece, where the passion for skateboarding grows stronger every year.
Finally, after months of insane sessions, friendships, and next-level tricks, the journey will reach its ultimate destination: the Grand Finals in Slovenia, from September 27th to 29th, 2025.
Here, the best rookies and groms will battle not only in the street but also in bowl, fighting for glory, unforgettable experiences, and incredible prizes!
As always, the World Rookie Tour is more than just a contest:
- The riders on the podium of each stop will secure their spot for the finals.
- Plus, at every event, All-Inclusive Tickets for the finals in Slovenia will be awarded, giving even more skaters the chance to live the WRT experience to the fullest!
