How many skateboard competitions are there in US?

Answer 1

This is a very tough question to answer accurately, as there is no way to count all the contests of all sizes that are held each weekend or each year. Grass roots contests happen all over the country, in each scene, every weekend throughout the year. In the summer, this number swells.

A fair guess would be something like this:

* Every weekend, throughout the year, non-summer months: 100 contests or more.

100 x 52 weeks = 5200.

* Summer months: add another hundred per weekend: 100 x 12 weeks = 1200

* Weekday contests are more rare, but happen occasionally in summer. Add another 200.

* Plus pro contests, including Tampa Pro, Dew Tour, ASA, LG, X GAmes, 30 contests.

* Top Am contests, including Tampa Am, Phoenix Am, Damn Am contests, etc. Another 40 contests.

By this guess, we have 6670 contests in the US every year.

It may not be 100% accurate, but this is a good gauge to go by. There are a whole lot of small shop contests, regional contests, and skatepark contests that happen all the time. If I can find a way to pinpoint this closer I'll update the answer.
