Our first JACKALOPE fest in Mississauga is finally on its way, and as part of the organization, I can already tell it’s going to be epic!

A brand-new custom skatepark, designed by the renowned California Skateparks, has been built just for the event. Known for their work on top-tier events like the SLS, X Games, and the Olympics, their expertise guarantees an unforgettable experience. With a concrete ground ensuring optimal performance, every detail has been meticulously planned for an intense ride that’ll push your skills to the limit. Get ready, because it will go hard.

The Innovative Format

We’ve designed a format that will elevate the competition, pushing riders to their limits, breaking records, and taking risks. Unlike high-level competitions that often require strategic planning, the JACKALOPE competition format demands that athletes give it their all! The event will feature small groups of two or three riders competing in a jam format. This setup ensures that each rider has multiple opportunities to shine.

Starting the weekend HARD

What better way to kick off the weekend than with an OPEN BEST TRICK and a PRO BEST TRICK? 2,000$ will be distributed in 10$, 20$, 50$, and 100$ bills during the STREET BEST TRICKS on Friday night. Only registered competitors can participate.
