ISSA joins World Skateboarding Federation
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has shown renewed interest in skateboarding with an objective to have the sport included in the 2020 games in Tokyo. But they require an established international governing body and they have started to apply some pressure on the sport to get organized.
ISSA has decided to the join the World Skateboarding Federation (WSF) in it's effort to unite all skateboarders, regardless of discipline, in one international governing body of skateboarding. WSF is currently one of three international federations claiming ownership of skateboarding. The other two are: FIRS (the international roller sport federation) and ISF (the International Skateboard Federation).
WSF has already attracted the downhill and freestyle communities and we believe we are doing the right thing choosing the same path to make sure that the whichever becomes the final governing body of skateboarding includes all disciplines and not only what appears as the most popular at the time.

New ISSA Racing Rules
The ISSA rules booklet has been updated. No major changes, it's basically just getting it in line with the current best practices. It's mostly the work of the previous BOD (2013). Editing and design by Jonathan Harms.
