The New Street Format

For JACKALOPE Montréal, we’ve reinvented the competition format with the Pabst Portal BEST TRICK PRO. Forget the STREET OPEN—we’re moving to a format where every trick counts, with $10,000 CAD on the line to motivate skaters to push their limits.

Qualifications will be held to give you a chance to participate. A maximum of 60 skaters will be divided into heats, ensuring an organized flow without chaos—each participant will have their moment, one after another. Give it your all to qualify and seize this opportunity to shine!

The top 50% of men and the top 50% of women will advance to the grand finale. Women will have a dedicated heat during qualifications, with an hour of practice beforehand. Additionally, some talented groms may also qualify for the final based on their performances in the qualifiers.

Competition Details:

  • $5,000 cash for 4 tricks—flippin’ 20’s for each exceptional trick
  • $5,000 for the Top 3 MVP men and the Top 3 MVP women
