Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert

Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert returns to the Jon M. Huntsman Center at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City for its 2026 vert-skateboarding programme. The Boardr lists the competition window as August 20–22, while the official public schedule runs Friday, August 21 and Saturday, August 22.

Friday features women’s and men’s semifinals followed by the Tony Hawk and Friends demonstration. Saturday includes finals practice, women’s and men’s finals, best-trick sessions, and awards. The contest features invited and qualified vert skateboarders, and private competitor details are separate from the public schedule.

General admission is free, with a limited paid VIP package offering rampside seating and a meet-and-greet.
