We are sure that Scooter contests will be a keyframe in the success of the festival.

We all are looking forward to being back here. Barcelona is surely one of the cities where our legacy is stronger for all our sports. Here we hold the last edition of the World Roller Games in 2019 just before COVID forced us to such a long stop from competitions!“
