With skaters coming from Argentina, Austria, France, Romania and of course Italy, the first edition of the Modena Rookie Fest showcased a great level of skateboarding, not only in the competition venue, but also during some street sessions. In fact the program of the event was not based only on a competition, but included as well a touristic visit of Modena city Center where several UNESCO heritage are located, italian food experience, night session and street session with local guide and a professional media crew.

Due to bad weather conditions, the skateboard competition moved to the indoor skatepark “Rock&Ride” where the participants competed for 2 all inclusive invitation to the 2021 World Rookie Skateboarding Finals in Innsbruck, Austria.

Agus Aquila from Argentina resulted the best rider of the day, with a massive style and many technical tricks on every obstacle while Maicol Fantini won the grom male category.  Both will compete next week in Innsbruck at the WRT SK8 Finals.

Black Yeti landed in Japan, for the first event of the World Rookie Tour Skateboard in Asia! Good vibrations and an awesome skateboarding level welcomed 54 young rippers at the brand news Akamaru Skatepark in Osaka, opened in 2020.

Shingo Shiotani, organizer and local legend, has made possible the event, making it a part of the tour named “6556 CUP”. So the first event of the tour, 6556 CUP Vol.1, became the first World Rookie Tour Asian qualifying event. Thanks Shingo, from the all WRT staff!

About the contest, it is nice remembering that the youngest skater was Kai Wataru, just 7 years old, while the oldest was 19 years old. Ishimaru Aoi (16 years old) was the best Girls, Sasaki Toa the best Grom Boy (14 years old), and Sasaki Raimu (17 years old) the Rookie winner.

Big thanks to the great MC Rei Takazawa and DJ Arisha Sakata: with their reggae music made people very excited!

Thanks also to the star skate judges Masahiro Sakata, Masatoshi Kimura and Kotaro Kawai!
