Salvador hosts final stage of Banco do Brasil Skate Circuit

The SkatePark do Subúrbio in Salvador, Bahia, is hosting the final stage of the 2026 Banco do Brasil Skate Circuit on November 7 and 8. The facility, which covers approximately 5,000 square meters, features Park and Street tracks and is the first in Brazil to receive international certification from World Skate.

The skatepark was developed as part of urbanization projects linked to the implementation of the Light Rail Vehicle (VLT) in the Salvador metropolitan region. Local officials and residents noted that the venue aims to stimulate sports practice, public space occupation, and economic growth in the Subúrbio region.

The competition features several prominent athletes from the Northeast of Brazil, including Ricardo Tapioca from Pernambuco, who is the first professional from the region in the Skate Park modality. Other regional competitors include athletes from Ceará, Alagoas, and Bahia.
