Athletes from Argentina and South Africa came to Russia for the Grand Skate Tour skateboarding festival

The popularity of skateboarding is growing every year. Once street and informal, it is now an Olympic sport. Thus, one of the largest extreme sports festivals Grand Skate Tour united hundreds of athletes from 41 countries in Russia. In the long term, the organisers plan to visit all BRICS countries, including the new member countries of the association. This year Dallas Oberholzer, a member of the South African national skateboarding team, came to Moscow for the Grand Skate Tour. He has been practising the sport for 40 years.
