SKATRIXX Wins Again: Our Shared Project Takes the SportUp Boost Final
A few months after taking home an incentive prize at the Sportinnovator Play-Offs, Urban Sports Performance Centre and the SKATRIXX team have done it again, this time as winners of the SportUp.nl Boost Final Pitch Event, hosted by VDL Industrial Modules B.V. in Helmond.
A Pitch Months in the Making
The win comes after months of sharpening the SKATRIXX business proposition through the SportUp Boost program. In front of a jury of experts and professionals from the sports world, the team brought a strong concept and an equally strong pitch to match, and came out on top.
More Than a Skate Park Story
It's another sign that the vision behind SKATRIXX, and the broader TRIXX platform's mission to bring objective, data-driven performance insight to urban sports, is resonating far beyond the skate park. 🛹🏂🏄 From skating to snowboarding to surfing, the same core idea holds: urban and action sports athletes deserve the same level of data-driven feedback that's long been standard in more traditional disciplines.
Congratulations All Around
Congratulations to Emma van Dijk and the entire Urban Sports Performance Centre team on this well-earned win, and to everyone across the CityLegends, SPINNOV, and wider project team who's helped SKATRIXX get here: Chris Heger, Yordan Ivanov, Yao Tong, and Andrik Schrijver.
Two wins in, and the SKATRIXX story is only getting started, we can't wait to see what's next. 🚀
