Community Cup Skate Video Competition - Prize Fund
Donation protected
A new and exciting inline skating video competition featuring the best skaters, nominated by you!
The Concept
Our top skaters will submit new and exclusive street skating edits, which will then be judged by both the public and a panel of industry experts. The videos will drop daily, building anticipation and culminating in a final week of voting.
- 50% of the prize pool will be split equally between the skaters as a base rate for taking part
- The other 50% will be awarded to the Community Winners 1st, 2nd, 3rd (voted by the public) and the Expert Winner (selected by a panel).
This comp will give the community a surge of top-quality edits from our best skaters, get people talking, drive interest in rollerblading and incentivise video edits, which have an important and long-lasting impact on the culture.
The Lineup
The invited skaters are finalists you nominated from the Skater of the Year, Section of the Year and Best Trick categories at the Rollerblading Awards 2024 I hosted:
- Julien Cudot

Competition Format
- Edits (1 min minimum to 2 mins max) will premiere exclusively on my YouTube channel.
- Scheduling: One video will be released daily, staying live for a week. After the last video’s run, all edits will be made public again for final voting.
- Voting:
Community Winner – Determined by voting.
Expert Winner – Selected by a panel using a points-based ranking system.
Videos will go live from 13th August 2025 6pm GMT onwards*
Voting will take place from 24th till 31st August
Winners announced in September
How exciting is it seeing a video pop-up from any one of the names listed above?! Think about how wild it's going to be getting a video from one of them, daily, all in a row. Now mix in the fact they'll be competing against each other for a prize pot - It's going to kick off!
We get so much amazing content for free - let's celebrate our best skaters by donating towards a prize pot. The best thing is, the bigger the prize pot gets the more they're each guaranteed to receive. Plus I'm sure as the prize pot increases they'll be motivated to go that little bit further. Picture it like paying for a VOD. Imagine actually seeing that lineup on a video, outrageous, but that's essentially what's going to happen.
I would like to raise at least £5000 as a prize pot.
This would mean each skater would receive £312.50 for taking part
Community Winners:
- 1st: £1000
- 2nd: 500
- 3rd: 250
Experts Winner: £750
Expert Judging Guide
- Difficulty. Difficulty can be applied to a stunt, line or a single technical trick. Clips will also be judged on the overall situation including; size, run-up, landing, weather, traffic, etc.
- Style. Competitors will be judged on style, confidence, control & speed.
- Creativity. This can be applied to switch-ups, clever use of spots, new ideas etc.
- Spot selection. Submissions will be judged on the variety, type, difficulty and visual appearance of obstacles.
- Production value. Production value includes the filming, audio, music, lighting and editing of the video.
- Character. Character combines all of the above elements and evaluates the submission on overall entertainment.
It’s not necessarily a tick list but elements to consider when watching the skaters. If a skater's edit is purely big stunts and no creativity, they can still win if the stunts are so exceptional they overshadow the lack of creativity - and vice versa. Character is an important metric as it brings everything together.

Unfortunately Cameron, Joe and Sean were unable to compete for various reason and due to tie restriction we were unable to get replacements. This does however mean the remain contestants will receive a high base rate for taking part.
