For the first time in history, The WWA and Point Chase have teamed up to run one ginormous event that will contain four days of high-flying action. Riders will compete for the opportunity to become one of seventeen individual national champions crowned, along with two team/park titles. There have only been three parks to win a team title, including TSR, Hydrous and current champion OWC who claimed both titles in 2015.

Amateur riders must earn a qualifying position through their local parks, while pro riders have the option of qualifying through their local parks or in an open pre-qualifying round. Traditional runs for each division will consist of one turn and one pick up, excluding Last Chance Qualifiers (LCQ). For 2016, an LCQ has been added, providing the opportunity for every rider to ride at least twice. The results from the National Championships will be used to seed riders for the World Championships in the Philippines.

If a rider who finished inside of the top five in their division is unable to compete, alternates may begin registering in the finishing order from their local park. 

Registration will close Wednesday, August 3rd at 2 PM EST.

Athletes will not be able to register on the day of the event, so please take notice of the deadlines listed.
