The Botswana Skate Board Association (BSA) has organised a tournament dubbed Bots Five-Oh tomorrow at the Main Mall Skate Park. The tournament, open to all interested participants will have different categories. “The contest will be put together to be as challenging as possible for competitors and exciting for spectators.

Judging will be based on creativity, variety of tricks, consistency and style,” BSA founding president, Thabiso Gulubane said.

It will be an individual contest and depending on the number of participants the organisers will group them in age groups of Under-16 and seniors. “Bots Five-Oh, was conceived by the BSA as its contribution, as the official custodian of skateboarding in Botswana, to the prevailing BOT50 celebrations,” Gulubane said. The tournament comes after BSA recently hosted a tournament, Heat The Street in July, which was won by Theo Seretse. Seretse will represent the country in South Africa at the African Skateboarding Championships in Kimberly.
