Support for the International Slalom Skateboarding Championship 2025

[October 19th, 2025 by Jani Soderhall]

There will be no entry fee for the International Slalom Skateboarding Championship 2025 in Brazil. While it's a challenge to run such a large event without charging participants, the team is working extremely hard to make it possible. Over the course of the 3-day event, there will have more than 30 paid staff members, including all cone marshals. We have also hired a concierge to assist international visitors with accommodation, local guidance, and general support, as well as a full-time translator to assist throughout the event.
In addition, we will provide a chiropractor for the athletes, free Oakberry açaí bowls, and on-site medical support, including an ambulance (or two) and professional medical staff.

To help cover these costs, we are kindly asking for voluntary donations. Any amount is appreciated. Contributions are not mandatory, and we will not make donation amounts public in order to respect everyone’s privacy. However, there will be a special prize for the largest donation.

The easiest solution:
PayPal: bruno.oliveira@cbsk.com.br
Select “Friends and Family” and mark it as a donation.
