Skate Copa, adidas‘s skate competition is back in its second year and this time, it’s going global. Kicking off on March 7, the event is extending from the 100+ US shops that competed last year with an open invite to shops around the world.

While last year’s event focused on the Football World Cup, this time around it’s all about the BOOST technology exhibited in adidas’ new ADV BOOST, and Dorado BOOST shoes. Each Skate Copa will also feature a bump-to-bar best trick event open to the public that plays out on a custom built bump ramp like the one below:

The 2015 finals will again be held at The Berrics and are forecast to go down on September 19. There’ll be a lot of footage between now and then so check the gallery above for a taste of what went down last year, and keep it locked for videos of 2015’s Skate Copa hammers.
