An idea by SK8iT

Three tricks. Three letters. One line decides who moves on.

A 1 vs 1 skate contest played with lines. Land three tricks in a row and your opponent has to copy them. Miss the line, take a letter. S, K, 8 and you're out.

The rules in 20 seconds

Three tricks per line. Two tries to copy it. Three letters and you're out.

  1. Trick 1Kickflip
  2. Trick 250-50
  3. Trick 3Back tail

One line: anywhere in the park, at least one foot on the board. Both feet down and the line ends.

2 triesOpponent copies
Lands it: next lineS Misses: takes a letter
Last letter, last chance
One letter from losing? You get three tries instead of two to save the battle.
Incomplete lines don't count
If the line ends before all three tricks, it's not a line. Build it again.

How a contest works

One contest, one spot, a season of battles.

LIN3A is a series, not a one-day event. Flow, reading the spot and consistency matter, not just the hardest trick.
  1. 01

    Direct invitation

    We reach out to skaters by DM. Nobody gets in through a form.

  2. 02

    Bracket draw

    Once every spot is confirmed, the draw sets round one. Chance builds the battles, not us.

  3. 03

    Two battles a week

    Same skatepark, every battle, until only one skater is left standing.

  4. 04

    All filmed, all published

    Full edit on YouTube, the best moments cut for Instagram and TikTok.
