Thanks to SF Gate for letting us know that San Francisco’s iconic Twin Peaks is about to get turned into a skaters paradise for one day.

On October 19, 2024 Red Bull is transforming this famous lookout 922 feet above the city into a temporary pop-up skate park for its “Skyline” competition, celebrating SF’s rich skateboarding history. Known for its panoramic views of the Bay Area, Twin Peaks will now also be the backdrop for some serious skate action.

Red Bull will start building the temporary skate park on Thursday, October 17th and will take over Twin Peaks Boulevard, incorporating rainbow ramps, guardrails, and even jumps over a dumpster. The competition will feature invited local and professional skaters, competing for cash prizes, and will be judged by renowned skater and Chico Brenes—both with deep Bay Area roots.

Getting There

There’s no direct route to the top and parking will likely be full anywhere close to the peak. There’s no public buses that take you to the top, but the 37 Muni gets you close to the base on Crestline for you to take the “secret stairs” to get you to the top. Map.

The Course


Since Twin Peaks’ eastern lookout has been a favorite spot for skaters ever since part of the roadway was closed to cars in 2016, it’s a fitting stage for this event. The contest is also a nod to San Francisco’s role in shaping skate culture worldwide.

With stunning 360° views and a vibrant local skateboarding scene, this one-day-only transformation of Twin Peaks into a skater’s dream is set to draw plenty of attention from enthusiasts across the city.

From redbull.com – On Saturday, October 19, 2024 , Karl will be judging at Red Bull Sky Line with his good friend Chico Brenes, a fellow professional skateboarding legend and S.F. local. Keen Ramps and Kanfoush Construction, two skater-owned companies, will come together for the completion of the course. Features will include a mix of street and transition obstacles like quarter pipes, rainbow rails, and bumps to barriers, along with ramps to salvaged bike racks and dumpsters. The contest will be invite only, starting at 12:00pm, with a best line contest, followed by a best trick contest to close out the day.
Red Bull Sky Line will be a grand sendoff for the closed roadway of Twin Peaks, which will be removed and replaced with the Twin Peaks Promenade, a linear park, complete with new vegetation, sitting areas, and multi-use trails for walking, bicycles, and skateboards. Improvements for the trails and walkways around the park have already begun, and construction for the Promenade Project will begin in 2025. So if you’re in the Bay Area, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to watch some of the best skateboarders ripping in front of one of the most scenic lookouts in the world.
