The postponed 2023 World Championships of Downhill Skateboarding and Street Luge have just concluded in Tagaytay, The Philippines!
The event, which saw more than 80 competitors assemble from 18 different nations, took place on the beautiful but treacherous Sampaloc to Talisay Road on a 2,300 metre-long track, which drops almost 300 metres along its snaking course of sweepers and hairpin bends.
With speeds of 80 kilometres per hour clocked previously, the gathering was always going to be a scorcher but this close-knit and courageous scene outdid themselves this time around, and in a location which has to be seen to be believed!
Enjoy our highlight edit as well as some postcards from the edge- and please join us in congratulating not just the new World Championships but everyone who entered, organised or assisted in a spectacular new chapter in the history of Downhill Skateboarding and Street Luge!
