The Ultimate Skateboarder: Week 4 Update
Week 4 Action – Keep Kickin’ it Up!
Hey Contestants: Important Update from Week 3!
We decided to make things more interesting as we enter the last stretch.
Originally, Top 30 qualified to Round 2, but we’ll shake it up just a bit and tighten the Round 1 to Top 20 Qualifiers.
However, since we made this later decision, we will extend the contest by 1 week. Round 1 will end on August 8th – midnight UTC.
Top 20 Highest Points Earners will move on to Round 2 – where every participating contestant is eligible to vote as a guest judge.
The $5,000+ Prize purse remains unchanged – and if anything, it can only go up.

Daily Voting: Vote for any video once per day. Depending on what time zone you are in (it may not reset at midnight), but as long as the ratings slider bar has reset to 50 (mid-point) when you are logged in you can vote for that video again! We’ll produce some media for this as well, but this is just a quick tip for now, a preview so you know what to look for.
