From May 1–3, we’re taking over Downtown Ventura, blending that laid-back Ventura vibe with the raw, high energy you’ve come to expect from the JACKALOPE crew. Here is everything you need to know to prepare for the event :
ATHLETES: IT’S YOUR TIME TO SHINE
The road to the 2026 championship starts on the West Coast. If you want your name on that leaderboard, Ventura is where you make your first mark.
Secure Your Registration
Athlete registrations have been live since March 26. Spots are limited, and with the local talent pool in Cali, they’re going fast. Don’t sleep on your chance to compete under the palms.
The Hunt for the 2027 Golden Ticket
Ventura is Stop #1. This is your first opportunity to stack points toward the season ranking. Remember: the top-ranked man and woman at the end of the 2026 season walk away with the 2027 JACKALOPE Golden Ticket—covering full travel and registration for next year’s entire tour.
Street Section: JAM SESSION x POWELL
We’ve teamed up with Powell for our first year in Ventura, and they’re bringing a street section right on California Street. Open to All: No pre-registration required, just show up on-site, sign up, and enjoy.
Community First: Powell collaborated with Buena High School to design and build a custom quarter pipe. Come out and show some love to the local student creators!
**Note: Helmets are mandatory, and we’ll have a stash on-site if you’re traveling light.
