What is the World Skate Games?

Overseen by World Skate, the World Skate Games consists of 12 sports, and ~7000 athletes representing 80 countries, the highest level of competition in the world. \ This will be the third World Skate-sanctioned Championships of Vert, the second one for Downhill and Street Luge. And, it will be the first ever World Skate-sanctioned World Championships for Slalom Skateboarding.

Canada holds the defending Championship

In 2019, Canadian Dane Hanna brought home the Gold, taking 1st place in Barcelona, Spain. Post-pandemic, the WSG is back and the Canadian Downhill Team plans to earn that Gold once again.

Our Downhill Team Needs Your Help

Unfortunately, without Government funding, a journey to the World Skate Games is a cost not all of the athletes on our team can afford. We ask for charitable donations to help subsidize the cost of our safety equipment, travel expenses, and accommodation.

Sponsorships and Charitable Donations

We understand that you have several choices when considering different marketing and community outreach opportunities. By assisting our athletic pursuits, the Canadian Downhill Team will have the opportunity to defend our title, as we compete against the Worlds fastest and finest Downhill Skateboarders.
