Skate wizard Richie Jackson has endorsed a Game of S.K.A.T.E battle between men and women at Tim Pool's private skatepark, "The Boonies."
The flat-ground skateboarding contest features Julia versus Johnny, with Jackson serving as the host and referee.
Although the full video is not yet live, the teaser is getting skaters talking. They're wondering how things will work and if this might be the new normal, especially because there's no Battle At The Berrics this year.
The high-ranking official at The Boonies jokingly dismissed the Olympics and set up a real showdown between a man and a woman.
The contrast of men versus women in a high-stakes, skill-based environment offers a refreshing take on skate contests, aiming to encourage greater inclusivity and excitement.
Keep an eye out for the complete video, coming soon to The Boonies' YouTube channel. Make sure to subscribe to see every bit of gnarly skating here.
