Excellent Mystic Sk8 Cup 2016 is an international skateboarding contest that will take place 1^st – 3^rd July in Mystic skatepark on Stvanice island.

About 150 professional skateboarders from around 25 countries will compete Friday to Sunday in street style, bowl and best trick contests.

Ladies will compete in street style. On Friday, the event will kick off with a street style pre-qualification for European riders. On Saturday, street qualifiers will take place with the top 29 advances to the semi-finals on Sunday. Last year’s winner Max will advance directly into the finals. Bowl qualifiers will also take place on Saturday. Finals of both contests will take place on Sunday afternoon. The contest will culminate in the best trick contest, where riders will choose one obstacle on which they will attempt the most challenging skate-tricks. The prizegiving ceremony will start after 8 pm. The contest will be sanctioned by the Association of International Skateboarders, which will supply judges and process contest results.

Our Relax Zone will be located on the traditional spot, a grassy area with trees between the skatepark and Vltava riverbank.

There, visitors will find the Excellent Sound Stage with top quality sound system, which will host British formation The Subways on Friday and on Saturday the sound will get harder with American hardcore delivered by Walls of Jericho and Norma Jean. On Sunday after the contest, the visitors will see a unique rap ensemble DJ VEC + Midi + Hafner + Zverina + Vladimir 518. After 10 pm, the show will move to the DJ stage for the night. Belgian project Tat2 Noise Art will perform and tattoo during the day around its tour bus parked in the Relax Zone. Apart from music, the visitors will be able to try dexterity of their fingers in the fingerboard, slide on a skimboard or just lie in the grass and watch the live broadcast of the contest on the giant screen.

The contest will be broadcast live on Saturday and Sunday on www.prima-cool.cz with a commentary specific to the broadcast, which will provide details about riders and their tricks to contest viewers around the world.
