World Skate is celebrating summer in the northern hemisphere with the launch of our brand-new website. The mobile-focused site continues the rebranding process that led to the birth of World Skate in a historic congress held on 3 September 2017.
The new website has an engaging and modern layout, rebuilt from the ground up for ease of use on all devices. It is fully integrated with our social media, video, and National Federation platforms.
In addition to the general sections, the website will showcase more detailed information about each discipline. A central point for news and interviews, events and seminars, and all current regulations, worldskate.org will chronicle the ongoing evolution of our sports.
Along with an improved user experience, we’ve reimagined the site to engage our audience and members through storytelling and media. By featuring the athletes and competitions in all 5 continental regions, worldskate.org will continue to add to the rich history of skateboarding and roller sports every day.
The rebranding continues with the launch of our skateboarding-focused social media channel: @WorldSkateSB is the home of World Skate Skateboarding. Our social content will capitalize on the various platform strengths of Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to connect with skateboarding fans all over the world and tell the story of skateboarding as a sport, art, lifestyle, and culture as it rolls down the road to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
World Skate President Sabatino Aracu said: "This is another important step, a more structured communication path that will grow and lead the World Skate audience to Tokyo 2020 by reaching them where they live, on their phones: Our objective is to engage our public more and more, and we are aware that social media platforms and mobile devices are the tools we need to focus on right now.”
