Angelo Caro and Cody Cepeda are the first contenders of the 6th edition of KING of Macba
More big guns like Roos Zweetsloot, Mauro Iglesias, Matheus Du Bronks and Chase Webb are in!
Macbalife and Berrics join forces to make one of the most important events in the international skateboarding scene. At stake is the title to the king and queen of the reference square of all urban sports lovers: Macba. One of the cradles of skateboarding hosts its sixth male and third female edition. Sixteen men and eight women will face a game in which each athlete must show their best tricks to not get all the letters of the word MACBA. The first to complete it will not advance to the next round. And a new rule: skaters must do at least one time the picnic table from our friends of SB Ramps.
One of the first riders to face off in the round of 16 is Peru’s Angelo Caro. The Red Bull athlete has a long track record in international competitions. Fifth place in Tokyo 2020 Olympics and he’s currently in the twenty-ninth place in the world ranking, competing for the Olympic qualification for Paris 2024.
Winner of Extreme Barcelona 2022 and silver in Madrid Urban Sports 2022, Angelo has won over the public for his charisma and his dedication in all the events in which he participates. Today he is one of the most followed athletes thanks to this and for what he has managed to be one of the representatives in the most anticipated battle of the year.
Among the names that have been announced, we will see other skaters who have also competed in Urban World Series events, as the Argentinean Mauro Iglesias, champ of Extreme Barcelona & 3rd in Madrid Urban Sports 2021, Lucero Enterrio, Levi Löffelberger, 2nd in EB 2023, and one of the best Spanishskateboarders in the game: Alex Amor. In the women’s category for the moment only the names of the first two women have been revealed.
QUEEN of Macba 3 is on, too! Dutch Roos Zwetsloot, winner of Madrid Urban Sports 2023 and Extreme Barcelona 2022 vs the Argentinean Antonella Castillo, in the first battle.
Giovanni Vianna won KING of Macba 5 last year, defeating Jorge Simoes in an epic final. And Marina Gabriela is the current QUEEN of Macba, who won the final vs Monica Torres.
We will be waiting for the remaining names, in which we will surely see familiar faces from Urban World Series contests. We’re looking forward to see how they will fight for one of the most precious crown of skateboarding.
