WSGP CEO Tim McFerran is an expert in the skate events management industry. He previously ran the Maloof Money Cup skate championships and is responsible for many of the innovations seen in skate contests today.
"We're excited about the possibility of bringing a WSGP championship skateboarding event to Germany," said McFerran. "Germany has become a mecca for skateboarding making it the perfect location to host a world championship skate event in the next 24 months. WSGP events bring together the best pro street and vert skaters from around the world to compete for one of the largest prize purses in the action sports industry, over $500,000 in cash and prizes.
