World Cup Skateboarding & Bowl-a-Rama set new five-year deal

World Cup of Skateboarding (WCS) and Frontside Events are very proud to announce a new 5-year relationship starting in 2012 for the expansion of the BOWL-A-RAMA™ series.

This comes after an already successful 7-year term between skateboarding’s official global body and Australasia’s premiere skateboarding competition in both Bondi and Wellington.

“We are very excited with BOWL-A-RAMA’s™ growth and development. It is now considered one of skateboardings’ greatest events. Signing this deal ensures that BOWL-A-RAMA™ will remain one of our priorities and the premiere event for the region and Bowl riding” Don Bostick – Director WCS.

“We are stoked to have signed this agreement with WCS and look forward to exciting developments over the coming years for skaters, spectators and the industry alike.” – Chad Ford, Director Frontside Events (Producer of BOWL-A-RAMA™)

BOWL-A-RAMA™ is all about showcasing the best elements of Bowl skating – a hybrid of vert and street skating. It gives professional riders a unique platform to express their passion and skills as they fight it out for WCS points and ultimately, a WCS title.

This new partnership ensures that BOWL-A-RAMA™ continues to be the official Australasian leg in the World Cup of Skateboarding tour. It also provides the opportunity of continued growth and development of both BOWL-A-RAMA™ Bondi and BOWL-A-RAMA™ Wellington.

WCS has granted Frontside Events an extension of the BOWL-A-RAMA™ series to other cities. Both WCS and Frontside Events are committed to building the only truly international “bowl” skate comp tour.

Frontside Events are currently vetting proposals from many territories throughout the southern hemisphere and Asian region to roll out other BOWL-A-RAMA™ stops, as part of its proprietary tour.

The fans not only get to see the best pro riders fight it out for WCS points but also enjoy a weeklong festival of cultural events.
