Skateboarding is now an Olympic sport. However, since the Olympics are now postponed until 2021 because of the coronavirus global pandemic, here’s a look back at some recent skate action.

Loops, spills and raw courage were on display at RBRC as the event claimed new scalps and saw some ridiculous power moves thrown down during a full-on snakerun session in Munich, Germany.

Described to a tee by winner and defending champion Jake Ilardi as ‘the ultimate downhill snakerun’, the Red Bull Roller Coaster saw rocket-speed charges, some over-cooked corners, and a handful of new features that could take a reckless incomer down in a heartbeat. Therefore, this is not skateboarding for the faint-hearted.

Sparked by the lively punters within the glorious river basin in which Munich Mash takes place, skateboarding trailblazers including Catherine Marquis, Jordyn Barratt and Alana Smith powered through the treacherous IOU ramps danger-snake with the energy of the crowd at their backs before the Floridian and man-to-beat, Jake Ilardi, threw down more moves in more spaces than anyone else could step to.
