Sprite Urban Games Press Release - The Sprite Urban Games is back with a vengeance. Gearing up to showcase the world’s best in skate, BMX and B-Boy action along with headlining music acts, Sprite Urban Games 2006 promises to be an unmissable freestyle festival.

Taking up residence on Clapham Common, London from Friday 30th June to Sunday 2nd July, this three day action sports fest brings together the world’s finest, all performing to the backbeats of the hottest urban and rock music around.

For the 8th year running 20,000 people are expected to descend on the Common for non-stop urban street culture. Not only will you be able to see some of the best action sports on the planet expect an amazing music stage with headline acts to get you pumped up, and in the mood for the summer weekend.

The festival promises to be the most exciting yet, with TWO streetcourses, tailor-made for skate and BMX. The bespoke courses will be the biggest and best yet (200m² larger than last year), designed by BMX legend Shaun Scarfe and skate expert Pete Turvey and ridden by World Champ and multi X-Games winner Ryan Nyquist, last year’s champion Colin Mackay, and a host of other confirmed names. And wait for it - the biggest vert ramp ever seen in the UK is coming! This brand new, purpose-built ramp, is based on skate superstar Tony Hawk’s ramp, and is drawing in the cream of international talent including Ronnie Remo, Pete King, Dave Allen and Matt Fairbairn. Expect awesome demos and a thrilling selection of gravity defying stunts.

There will be a monster £40,000 prize money on offer, so expect fierce competition as the best athletes in the world compete to nab the winnings in the International Skate (Street and Vert) and BMX (Street, Vert, Dirt, Flat) competitions. For talented 12 – 16 year olds, there is also the chance to emulate the pros, with serious prizes up for grabs for the best on the vert ramp.

The new British Skate and BMX Championships look set to shake up action sport history, with a British Champion being officially crowned in Skate Street, BMX Street and BMX Dirt Jumps. To be held alongside the existing Sprite Urban Games contests, the British Championships will have a separate prize purse, and entry system that is only open to UK entrants. This will give our home-grown talent a high profile stage on which to perform, that has a global audience of over 10 million people.

Sprite Urban Games wouldn’t be complete without the B-Boy arena. It’s set to rock Clapham once more, offering visitors the chance to see the crews battle, lock and pop their way to one of the top titles in the UK. An absolute must is the VIP b-boy pass, avoid the queues, and guarantee yourself a seat at every session with this golden ticket.

And remember the Sprite Urban Games aren’t just for pros, with a public streetcourse for kids and adults alike, so everyone can have a piece of the action. Cruise the awesome Retail Zone, and pick out the best gear from a selection of the coolest brands and retailers. After all the extreme action, there only one thing to do but grab a drink from one of the bars, chill out on the grass and watch the sunset.
