„Current World Champion Gavin Bottger opened his Road To Paris experience with a broken wrist in the UAE back in early 2023 but has been reassuringly high-placing ever since,“ says World Skate in the caption. „The other backbone of team consistency has been the unflappable 8th-placed Bryce Wettstein who never fails to deliver wherever in globe the World Skateboarding Tour goes.“

Not to play favorites, but Gavin has always been one of my favs. And Bryce has undeniably been proving she’s one of the greats—always doing things in her own unique way—over the past few years. Hate to be bias, but Team USA is looking good! Actually…what am I saying? Let’s go, squad!
„The rocket ride throughout this process has been Tate Carew,“ World Skate adds. „Who joined the Tour at the 2022 World Championships as a relative unknown and has made every final since but looks somehow better at every stop and enters Paris ranked 1st in the OWSR.“

But hey, we should all have our eyes on Ruby Lilley, Tom Schaar, Minna Stress—honestly, every talented park skater out there participating on the World Stage—all the same.
Again, the Men’s and Women’s Skateboard Park is right around the corner. Tune in August 6th and 7th to peep the action.
