Skate tradition around our beautiful country

During the first weekend of the adrenaline spectacle, we’ll be hosting skate clubs that have some very interesting history.
We’ll tell you some interesting facts about them, and about their members as well, who’ll definitely raise the adrenalin on this year’s festival.

Skateboard club Urban Element was founded in 1998 in Split by the first generation of Split’s skaters.
By now there are three skateparks located in Split and the crew organized around 40 skateboard competitions. They have around 48 members and by launching a skateboard school they managed to bring out two new generations of skaters.
They have been participating in Pannonian from its early beginnings i.e. from the first skateboard contest here in Osijek. In one of the first competetitions, Ivica Marić – Pike was the only member from their club who was competing and won 3rd place on the second Pannonian Challenge.

Though initiated in 2010., Skate club Kvarner was established in 2014.
Some of their major projects include building an indoor wooden mini ramp and a concrete DIY mini ramp which frequently hosts many events and side events.
Their biggest project is definitely DIY location in the woods (Draga), not far from the city center.
The club has about 35 members, most of whom already visited Osijek and Pannonian Challenge. Their biggest accomplishment was in 2015. when Marin Srzentić won 3rd place in the amateur category.
