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

The Course

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.
