Join us for a three day weekend of TRICKING. Meet and train with your favorite trickers, make lifelong friends, and participate all the shenanigans and activities of the weekend. Whether you're a beginner or a veteran, you don't want to miss out!
Loopkicks Gathering is the longest running tricking event in all of history. Before our hiatus we were on a 15-year streak. Now we're back - you already know this is about to be crazy.
What makes
so special this year?
COMPETITION. This year Loopkicks Gathering is hosting the Youth Battle Division and the Adult Battle Division. We are proud to be working alongside UST to elevate the tricking battle scene in the US. We are offering $5000 in total prize money across both divisions!
COMMUNITY. Make memories that last a lifetime at our beach trip to Santa Cruz! We are partnering with Bay Area Hustle Team and we're bringing back KING OF THE FLOOR back to its origins. We are also partnering with SHAPES to bring low pressure, community-focused battles.
We are inviting tricking athletes of all ages to participate in battles at Loopkicks this year. The competitive tricking scene has elevated and evolved in the last three years - let's grow this sport!
Junior Division. Open to athletes ages 17 and younger.
Adult Division. Open to athletes ages 18 and older.
Top 8 to make it through prelims will battle it out at the Nightshow. The Top 3 athletes in each division will receive a cash prize and will earn points toward the UST League Season 2023.
Check-In starts at noon! Check-In, grab your wristband, and meet other trickers! You can sign up for the Junior or Adult Battle Divisions here as well. If you arrive later in the day you will still be able to check-in.
Both the Junior and Adult Divisions will have their prelim round to determine the Top 16.
Both the Junior and Adult Divisions will battle it out to determine the Top 4. The Top 4 athletes will go to the Nightshow.

Loopkicks Gathering is for EVERYONE. Whether you just started tricking yesterday or you're a 15-year tricking veteran - we have something for everyone!
Beginners can meet their favorite athletes and train side-by-side with them. Absorb knowledge from the best trickers in the world - all our Workshops will be broken down by skill level. Want to battle? Participate in SHAPES Live Battles. They are a fun, no-pressure environment to test out your skills.
We highly recommend you fly into Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Airport (SJC) since it's within 20 minutes of the gym & hotel. However, if you are flying internationally, you might find more affordable flights from either San Francisco (SFO) or Oakland (OAK). From any airport you can easily take rideshare (Uber or Lyft) to your next location.
First official day of the gathering starts on Friday, 7/21 and ends on Sunday 7/23.
We have reserved a block of 15 Rooms with Holiday Inn Express for the event this summer. Use this link to book! The hotel is a 6 minute drive from the gym - very conveniently located!
Hotel block is from 7/20 - 7/24, so when you book your rooms, they MUST be within these dates in order to qualify for discounted pricing. Our special pricing is $139/night for a room with 2 queen beds.
We are not including lodging in our gathering ticket - you will have to find your own accommodations. We are NOT doing any overnight sessions at the gym, so we highly recommend that you find somewhere to stay outside of the gym (hotel, airbnb, etc.)
