Submitted by: Craig Jarvis
It's back! The highly anticipated Street Lines Skate Tournament, presented by LW Mag and Dragon Energy Drink in association with Dickies, Garmin and GoPro, returns to Thrashers Skatepark for the third time on 30 September 2023. The country's best skaters will battle it out for their share of the prize purse and to see who will be crowned event champions. Olympians Brandon Valjalo (Pro Men) and Biopelo Awuah (Pro Women) are also in it to win it.
The legendary Thrashers Skatepark boasts a variety of obstacles for competitors to make use of during their runs and to showcase their skills. The event will feature invited athletes from around South Africa competing in the Men's and Women's Divisions and is also open to up-and-coming skaters to put their skills to the test.

Through the qualifying rounds, competitors will be pitted against each other, where judges will be looking for use-of-park, variation, style and tricks to make their selection of skaters advancing into the Finals. Competitors will compete for their share of the R50 000.00 prize purse and exclusive prizes from the official event partners. The tournament will conclude with the Best Trick competition open to all competing skaters, with the winner set to take home a GoPro HERO11 MINI.
