Cash For Tricks 2026

What is Cash For Tricks

Cash For Tricks is exactly what the name suggests: a day of aggressive inline skating where tricks are rewarded with cash and prizes.

The 2026 edition took place at the skatepark in Mollet del Vallès, just outside Barcelona, and was organized by Darly and Victor Daum. Throughout the day, skaters took part in several different challenges, with cash and prizes being awarded for tricks.

The event brought together skaters from the Barcelona area, other parts of Spain, as well as visitors from France and even Brazil. Among the names taking part were Carlos Bernal, Richard Vasquez, Michael Müller, William Cerlo, Leo Fumery, Dexter and many more.

But Cash For Tricks is not really about competing against everyone else. The idea behind the event is to challenge yourself, push your own limits and show what you can do. Every trick can earn you something, making the whole session a little different from a traditional competition.

The Mollet del Vallès skatepark

Mollet del Vallès might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking about the Barcelona skating scene, but the city has a sizeable skatepark with plenty of possibilities for aggressive skating.

Local skaters have also put time and effort into improving the park and adding new elements, making it possible to host events like Cash For Tricks.

The park provided several different areas for the challenges, allowing the organizers to change things up throughout the day.

An international scene

One of the nice things about Cash For Tricks was the mix of people who showed up.

There were plenty of familiar faces from around Barcelona and the rest of Spain, but the event also attracted skaters from outside the country.

Leo Fumery and William Cerlo, for example, travelled from France, while a Brazilian delegation also made the trip to Mollet del Vallès.

Jade, visiting from Lyon, also joined the event and got behind the camera for the first time to capture some additional footage.

With so many people skating together, the atmosphere was less about a formal competition and more about having a good session with friends while trying to make some money along the way.

The challenges

The day was divided into several different challenges, each offering its own way of earning cash.

One of them was the Chosen One challenge, essentially an elimination game. A trick is chosen and everyone gets a chance to land it. Those who fail are eliminated, while the remaining skaters move on to the next trick.

There were also several jams where skaters could simply throw their best tricks and collect cash for them.

Another challenge was the Flying High, where the goal was to go as high as possible. Rather than using meters or feet, the height was measured using a completely unofficial unit called the Pasha, roughly two meters depending on who was doing the measuring. Feel free to watch the related video for the full context.

The competition even involved some playful debate over whether a trick counted, and at one point the winners ended up sharing the prize after a quick discussion between themselves.

That kind of fair play summed up the atmosphere of the event pretty well.

More skating, more tricks and more cash

As the day continued, the contest moved between different areas of the skatepark for more challenges.

The Spot Lab was essentially a creative setup involving a box placed between rails, turning an otherwise simple area into a new complex spot for the skaters to work with. That led to a lot of switch-ups that we rarely see performed.

The final challenges brought even more tricks, with the cash continuing to circulate between the organizers and the skaters.

And because this is Cash For Tricks, the point was never simply to determine who was the best skater of the day. The idea was to reward people for what they actually put down during the session, recognizing the best efforts and landings.

That made it possible for different kinds of skaters to get involved and walk away with something.

A community event

By the end of the day, there was plenty of cash and a selection of goodies for the bladers, followed by a raffle.

More importantly, Cash For Tricks created another opportunity for the aggressive inline community to get together, skate, travel, film, hang out and enjoy a day at the park.

Events like this are also a good reminder that the scene is not limited to the biggest cities or the most famous skateparks. A park like the one in Mollet del Vallès can become a meeting point for skaters from Barcelona, other parts of Spain and people travelling from abroad.

A big thanks goes to Darly and Victor Daum, everyone who helped organize the event, the sponsors, the people working behind the scenes and everyone who travelled to take part.

Thanks also to Jade for providing a second camera angle and to all the French and Brazilian skaters who made the trip.

The day ended with the sun setting over the skatepark and everyone heading home with a few more tricks, memories and, for some, a little extra cash in their pockets.
