The event
Mystic Sk8 Cup 2006 will be the 13th annual World Cup Skateboarding contest and that is why we don´t let anything a chance
Best riders from all around the globe will compete in all 3 traditional disciplines – streetstyle, vert and best trick - at the Stvanice skatepark from 7th until 9th of July 2006. This year we want to bring more attractivity by highering the total prize money up to USD 40.000 and by adding now so popular discipline – the bowl contest. The bowl at Stvanice is designed by world known designer and skateboard legend Dave Duncan and also with technical tips from professional skateboarder Brian Patch. For the first time at Mystic Sk8 Cup we will have the girl´s streetstyle contest and girl exhibition in vert with prize money USD 1.500 for first 3 places.
Among world skateboarders Mystic Sk8 Cup is the most preffered contest from the World Cup Skateboarding series and at the same time is considered to be the best European contest. There is only 1 WCS contest in Europe this year – Mystic Sk8 Cup 2006 – that is taking place at the Mystic Skatepark at the Stvanice island and it is the only open ait contest from the World Cup Skateboarding series.
The main goal for us is to make the competitors feel good and be satisfied with the contest. When we achieve this goal we are sure that the spectators will be satisfied too. Every year we are building a brand new skatepark that meets the latest trends in skateboarding and inspires the riders to their top performance and ground breaking skateboarding.
For this year´s Mystic Sk8 Cup we have invited the world´s best riders for all disciplines again and we hope to have about 200 riders from USA, Brazil, Australia and Europe for the event.
Czech Republic is represented by 20 top skateboarders with the best score from the Czech Skateboard Cup series ranking. For most of them this is the first chance to compete next to the biggest names from the skateboarding world.
The contest is runned by the World Cup Skateboarding office staff and all points from this contest are included into the overall WCS ranking. Since the last year we run the prequalification for the european riders. From the prequalification the best riders are taken for the Saturday´s Qualification.
Since 2001 is possible to watch the Mystic Sk8 Cup in a live broadcast on internet by Atlas.cz.
There is a large program of performances and shows at the Mystic Sk8 Cup 2006. We have many DJs, videoprojections, skateboard movies, contemporary art exhibition Subkultura, graffity performaces and various workshops. For this year´s Mystic Sk8 Cup we have the British band the Freestylers in their original line up (Aston Harvey - Keys & Effects, Valerie Malcolm – Vox, Marcel Atteen – Vox, Clive Jenner – Drums, Dave Budgen – Bass, Richard Budgen – Guitar) performing live on the main stage on Sautrday night.
Part of the entertainment program is also a Global Station zone that will present many well known bands and DJs including for instance German project N.O.H.A., japanese girl duo Papaya Paranoia or dutch DJ superstar Joost Van Bellen.
Visitors can relax at many different performances with styles like Japan, Russia, Africa or Jamaica or send a postcard to their friends or build their very own skateboard deck.
Very important part of Mystic Sk8 Cup are the spectators and visitors coming from all of the world who, thanks to a perfect knowledge of skateboarding, create a unique atmosfere fo this contest.
