LOZ OPEN RIDE: Where Longboarding Meets Pure Magic
Picture this: a massive hall, longboards gliding effortlessly across the floor, and riders from all over the planet showing off moves that make you wonder if gravity even exists. That’s LOZ OPEN RIDE in a nutshell—two epic days of longboard dancing and freestyle madness in the heart of Lausanne, Switzerland. If you’re into longboarding, this is the event to be at. Period.
This isn’t just a competition (though, yeah, there’s plenty of that too). It’s a celebration of passion, skill, and straight-up love for longboarding. Organized by BOARDU—a badass non-profit that lives and breathes this sport—it all goes down on October 5th and 6th, 2024, at the iconic HALLE 13. This venue is a beast: 2800 square meters of space, a super-slick blue floor, and vibes that scream, “Let’s ride!”
Here’s the deal: LOZ OPEN RIDE is for everyone. Pro rider looking to flex? We’ve got you. Amateur who’s ready to shine? Step right up. Categories like Women Open, Women Amateur, All Genders Open, All Genders Amateur, G-Turn, and Best Tricks mean there’s a spot for every kind of rider. Got some fancy footwork or a killer trick up your sleeve? This is your moment.
Each run is judged by pros who actually know their stuff—none of that “your cousin who skates sometimes” nonsense. They’ll be watching for flow, creativity, difficulty, and how well you can pull off your moves without breaking a sweat (or, let’s be honest, your board).
Now, let’s talk about the vibe. LOZ OPEN RIDE isn’t just about competing; it’s about connecting. Longboarding has this beautiful way of bringing people together, whether you’re a seasoned rider or someone who just picked up their first board last week. This event? It’s all about celebrating that community—kindness, fun, passion, and a bit of friendly rivalry thrown in for good measure.
And here’s the kicker: it won’t cost you a fortune to be part of it. Registration is just 15 CHF (yes, really). So, whether you’re riding, cheering, or just soaking it all in, this weekend is going to be unforgettable.
