Abbie Burns and Beau Brunclair claim the victory in the Lanzarote Rookie Fest

Posted on

39 young skaters from 9 different countries kickstarted the skateboarding season in Lanzarote for the first-ever Lanzarote Rookie Fest

This weekend, the Extreme Center in Lanzarote hosted the first skateboarding Rookie Fest of the season and the first World Rookie Tour event ever in Spain. A few dozen skaters of all ages and from 9 different countries participated in a contest that they will remember for a long time.

victory lanzarote

On Friday, the skaters enjoyed a long open session training in the newly refurbished indoor skatepark surrounded by palm trees. For the first few hours, the young skaters had quite serious faces and focused on discovering and practising their lines. But soon enough they started to meet new friends and the session continued well into the night, having a first day of 12 hours non-stop skateboarding.

On Saturday, with the seats filled with supportive parents, enthusiastic friends, and fellow skaters, tension rose right before the qualification started. However, once the skaters’ names were called to start their run, an explosion of enjoyment and excitement was on their faces.

The youngest competitor was only 5 years old, and many participants were under 10, which made it possibly the event with the youngest average age of participants in the history of the World Rookie Tour!
But fear not, because age is just a number, and they all displayed great talent and skills.

With 11 girls participating, only 4 made it through finals, and what a final! The British and Lanzarote local Abbie Burns earned the victory against Spanish favourite Noa Gonzalez, who unfortunately couldn’t land her run and ended up 4th. Slovenian Lina Sevčnikar claimed a well-deserved second place after showing her solid skills throughout the weekend and pushing through the final. Finally, the Canarian ramp rider Paula Jorge Simón surprised everyone by putting together a very complete run in this street park: “At first I wasn’t sure what I was doing here, as I normally skate ramp and street is not my strength, but I took it as an opportunity to try something new. I guess it’s an experience that can only be good for me. I’m just very happy I was able to put a run down and I wasn’t expecting much, so I am very happy.”

Abbie’s winning run was a rainfall of solid tricks with a frontside smith on the flat bar, a backside boardslide and a front board on the big rail, a kickflip down the euro gap, a backside 5050, a nosegrind, a kickflip over the pyramid and a kickflip frontside boardslide on the flat bar.

The boys’ finals were extraordinary to witness. The 8 highly skilled young skaters amused the crowd and each other by raising the bar one trick at a time. They transformed their nerves into flips and delivered an intense, banger-filled final.

 

Belgian Beau Brunclair won the big prize with an incredible display of style and technique delivered impeccably. His run consisted of a gap backside nose blunt slide, a backside 180 nosegrind revert, a 3flip and a kickflip over the pyramid, a big spin frontside boardslide, a frontside lipslide, a backside 270 lipslide on the big rail, a frontside 5-0, a big spin kickflip, and a frontside boardslide on the big rail as the last trick attempt.

His Belgian fellow, Noah de Jagger, delivered an exciting show and fought hard to keep his second place, but he couldn’t beat the young Spanish skater Luis Cabarcos. In the end, Luis Cabarcos earned second place, leaving Noah third.

World Rookie Skateboard Finals successfully completed

Posted on

Mystic Sk8 Park, Štvanice Island, Prague, CZE, 07. Oct. 2023

Mystic Sk8 Park in Prague, Czech Republic, welcomed 80 young skaters from 20 nations from all over the world, with teams representing Europe, Asia, America, Oceania and, for the first time in WRT Sk8 Finals, Africa. After a season of qualifying events all around the countries, the 2023 World Rookie Skateboard Finals welcomed the energies and the positive vibes of tomorrow’s stars and offered all participants an immersive experience in the skateboard culture.

The event took place in a great international scenario: Mystic Skatepark is an iconic location on an island surrounded by river Vltava where the legendary Mystic Sk8 Cup started at the beginning of this century. The park is located in the middle of the beautiful city of Prague which, with its cultural and artistic attractions, offers riders and crew a unique travel and lifestyle experience.

Andres Martin Gramaglia Fusconi – 2023 World Rookie Champion

The skateboarders showcased an extremely high level of riding during a full day of qualification and finals and they competed for World Rookie Champions titles and tickets to world-class events such as Mystic Sk8 Cup and Simple Session.

In the Female category, British ripper Abbie Nicole Burns resulted the best in the comp and conquered the 2023 World Rookie Champion title. At only 14 years old, Abbie is the youngest WRT Skateboard Champion we ever had. Laura Zackova from the Czech Republic and Florence Ulrich Adcocks from Germany completed the female podium.

Girl Podium:first place Abbie Nicole Burns (GBR), second place Laura Zackova (CZE) and third place Florence Ulrich Adcocks (GER)

In the Grom Male division for under 14 years old riders, French rising star Axel Van Cuyck conquered the World Grom Champion Title, followed on the podium by Jesse Kloes (GER) and Mussie Michael (ERI).

Grom Podium: first place Axel Van Cuyck (FRA), second place Jesse Kloes (GER) and third place Mussie Michael (ERI)

In the top division of the event, the 15-19 years old rookies, we watched an amazing battle for the podium. With tons of “Italian Style” and very technical lines, Andres Martin Gramaglia Fusconi won the event and was crowned the 2023 World Rookie Champion. At only 0.3 points behind Rocco Mueller (SUI) got second place while the third position was conquered on his very last run by Gabriele Fabi from Rome, Italy.

Rookie Podium: first place Andres Martin Gramaglia Fusconi (ITA), second place Rocco Mueller (SUI) and third place Gabriele Fabi (ITA).

The competition was great but the World Rookie Skateboard Final was not only focused on the competitive side of skateboarding. In fact, the program also featured a lot of lifestyle activities to offer a unique experience to everybody: GummyLove “safe sex workshops”, social dinners, street sessions and an exclusive “Meet & Shred” session at Maxplace skatepark with local skateboard hero Maxim Habanec.
