Obstacles SPONSORED BY
KEEN RAMPS
Cory Keen has been skateboarding and a strong enthusiast of the culture for over two and a half decades. As a teenager, he and his friends would gather scrap wood from his father's garage or neighbors trash and build whatever they could: boxes, quarter pipes, rails, and even a small indoor half pipe.
Upon completing his Master's Degree in City and Regional Planning, Keen decided to return to his roots and create a quarter pipe ramp as a gift for his seven-year-old nephew. That ramp was the first of tens of thousands of Keen Ramps obstacles to be created in years to follow.
Games & contests
S-K-A-T-E AGAINST THE MACHINE
Each skater will step into the arena knowing they’ve only got one chance—a single attempt—to prove they’ve got what it takes. No practice runs. No mercy. The AI will call the shots, generating tricks in real-time, each one designed to push riders beyond their limits. One moment, it might be a clean technical flip; the next, something more advanced- maybe switch.
It’s the ultimate test of adaptability—similar to a high-stakes game of S.K.A.T.E., but here, the stakes are heavier, the pace is faster, and the AI is an unforgiving judge. Land the trick, and you move on, riding the rush as the crowd’s energy fuels you. Miss it, and you take a letter. This one is until the last rider is standing.
“ESCAPE” the FINGERboard Quest
ESCAPE: The Fingerboard Quest Game is not your average fingerboard setup—it’s an all-out horror-themed adventure. Step into custom-built arenas dripping with eerie detail, from twisted rails to haunted ledges, each designed to test your skills and nerve.
Your mission? Complete a series of intense quests, each packed with challenges and obstacles that will push your creativity, precision, and speed to the limit. With every trick landed, you edge closer to unlocking prizes, exclusive merch, and bragging rights among the fingerboard elite.
Expect cash prizes, sponsor giveaways, vendors, and freebies—all wrapped in a dark, adrenaline-charged atmosphere. This is more than just fingerboarding. This is survival.
