Why it matters
The qualifiers grew from two regions to six, and with entries now routed through East Japan and West Japan Instagram brackets, the competition's intake is wider than the Tokyo and Osaka field it ran with previously.
The Tokyo final brings together 48 skaters chosen through Instagram video qualifiers, and the top three finishers plus one SONIC Award winner get a 5-night, 7-day training tour in Los Angeles.
The Tokyo final is the endpoint of an Instagram-based qualifying route. Any skateboarder aged 15 or under can enter, and submitted performance videos are judged on trick difficulty, execution, and style.
East Japan entries run from September 14 to September 27. West Japan entries run from September 29 to October 12. A total of 48 skaters advance to the Tokyo final, and the prizes include the Los Angeles trip for the top three and one SONIC Award winner.
