Update:
Due to weather conditions, the Guam National Championship was rained out. After coming together, the athletes voted collectively to postpone the event until the proper dry season. While the rain changed our plans, it did not dampen our spirits. In fact, momentum has only grown! more skaters are training, more people are hearing about the event, and the overall level of competition is shaping up to be exceptionally strong. With the added preparation time, we are expecting a very high-caliber contest in late February or early March.
We also made meaningful progress behind the scenes. We spent quality time with Tommy Fynn, who only judged a few runs but we walked through the judging platform in detail. With connections established at LiveHeats and a trial run completed, we are fully dialed in and ready for the next event. Although we were unable to compete that day, it was far from a loss! this experience highlighted both the demand and the need for indoor skate facilities on Guam. Tommy loved Guam and is genuinely excited to return, we was stoked he got to meet you all and skate alongside the locals at the park before it got rained out.
Stay tuned for confirmed dates and times. We look forward to welcoming everyone who could not make it this time, and we encourage those who can to keep training hard. The next Guam National Championship is going to be something special! Only one will be the Champion, is it you?
Event Description:
Skateboarding history is about to be made! On December 6th, Guam Skate Network will host the first-ever Guam National Skateboarding Championship, a landmark event that will crown Guam’s first National Skateboarding Champion.
This championship is the launchpad to the international stage. Our National Champion will earn the opportunity to represent Guam in Olympic qualifying events, standing alongside the world’s best as they carve their path toward the Games.
The competition will follow the official World Skate Olympic format:
Semifinals – 2/3/2 Format: Each skater gets 2 runs and 3 single trick attempts. Their best run plus their top two tricks count toward their score.
Finals – 3/3/2 Format: The top 8 skaters advance to the finals, where they receive 3 runs and 3 single trick attempts. Again, the best run and best two tricks are combined for the final score.
The event will feature Guam’s top skaters battling it out in an electrifying display of skill, style, and passion with the whole island watching. This is a new chapter for Guam sports, one that places our skaters in the global spotlight and inspires the next generation to dream big.
Do you have what it takes?
*Important Eligibility Note: Skaters from anywhere can compete and even take first place overall if they earn the highest score. However, to be officially crowned Guam’s National Champion and hold the national title, the skater must be a legal resident of Guam. If a non-resident wins first place, the championship title will be awarded to the highest-placing Guam resident.
