HELRIDE is a celebration of skateboarding!
Witness the beauty of international skateboarding. Skate yourself. Learn to skate. Learn to document skating. Listen to great music. Make a friend. Party. Lose a friend. Dance. Regret. Watch the sun refuse to set. Laugh. Do it again. Together.

We reserve the right to alter the content and schedule of our event as we see fit. It’s skateboarding.
Deal with it.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for all discrimination, harassment, and bullying. ALWAYS!
HELride takes a firm stance against hate speech and will address it immediately. We want to support the well-being and inclusion by setting an example, free from fear of discrimination. We follow safe space principles at all our events. Please familiarize yourself with our equality and non-discrimination pages in advance.
If you experience harassment or inappropriate behavior at our event, you can contact our harassment contact person - who can always be found near the host tent. You can also address the issue yourself with the person you believe has acted inappropriately.
NO LITTERING!
We also want to keep our common spots clean, so please always dispose of your trash in bins! Remember that cigarette butts and snus pouches are also trash!
READ CAREFULLY!
