The World Downhill Skateboarding Championship reaches its thrilling finale on the Isle of Man today, with elite riders tackling the challenging Mountain Road course one last time. If you're a motorsports enthusiast or simply curious about watching extreme sports in action, this is your final chance to witness this spectacular international event on our island.

Final Day of Racing on the Mountain Road

Skateboarders will be competing at the northern end of the Mountain Road throughout today, with the route closed from 9am until midnight between the Bungalow and Barrule Park in Ramsey. This dramatic stretch of road provides the perfect backdrop for high-speed downhill racing, attracting competitors and spectators from around the globe.

The closure affects a significant portion of the Mountain Road, so locals and visitors are advised to plan alternative routes if travelling in the northern parishes. Once racing concludes today, organisers will begin removing all event equipment and infrastructure.
