Event Source and Coordinator Map

Action-sports events are fragmented across governing bodies, professional tours, registration/scoring platforms, regional series, resorts and parks, and media or energy-drink brands. TrickBook needs all of these layers rather than treating one global brand calendar as complete coverage.

Current Source Inventory

As of August 31, 2026, X Games and The Boardr produce production records. This page is otherwise a source strategy and research backlog, not a list of completed integrations.

Source	State	Current output	Main limitation
X Games	Active	13 historical/completed records	Sports and location are inferred; no timezone, disciplines, registration, tickets, or streams
The Boardr	Active	11 upcoming records	U.S.-heavy coverage; no authoritative timezone, coordinates, images, ticketing, or livestream data
Development fixtures	Local only	5 curated future examples	Enabled only by a frontend environment flag; never ingested
All other sources below	Research/planned	0 records	No production connector or persisted source configuration

There is currently no eventSources collection, connector health dashboard, persisted cursor, licensing registry, raw source snapshot store, or source-level retry state. Each production event carries only source, sourceId, and sourceUrl, plus ingestion timestamps on the canonical record.

Active X Games Feed

• Endpoint: https://www.xgames.com/wp-json/xgames/v1/events
• Transport: public JSON containing HTML event cards
• Pagination cap: six pages per run
• Identity: URL slug in sourceId; normalized title/date/city in dedupeKey
• Refresh behavior: idempotent MongoDB upsert; lastSeenAt is refreshed on every successful record
• Failure behavior: page failures are logged and stop further X Games pagination; one source failure does not abort the overall ingestion run

Each new source should follow the tested connector contract: fetch, normalize, stable external identity, provenance, freshness, and fixture-based parser tests. Persisted source health and raw snapshots are the next shared ingestion-layer gaps.

Active The Boardr Feed

• Endpoint: https://www.theboardr.com/events
• Transport: server-rendered Next.js __NEXT_DATA__ JSON
• Identity: numeric EventID in sourceId and the stable detail URL
• Coverage at launch: 11 upcoming U.S. events from September 2026 through April 2027
• Normalization: calendar dates are stored at noon UTC with timeTba: true; city and state are split from the published location text
• Classification: conservative title/description inference for competition, community, festival, exhibition, BMX inclusion, open entry, and invite-only status
• Failure behavior: missing or changed __NEXT_DATA__/eventList structure throws an ingestion error and is covered by parser tests

Source Roles

Role	What it provides	Examples
Governing body	Sanctioned calendars, classifications, eligibility, results	World Skate, UCI, FIS, ISA, IWWF
Professional tour	Top-level tour stops, tickets, broadcasts	SLS, WSL, Crankworx, Freeride World Tour
Registration/scoring platform	Long-tail events, entry state, schedules, results, streams	LiveHeats, The Boardr
National or regional series	Local contests riders can actually enter	USASA regional series, USA BMX, ESA
Promoter or festival	Multisport event details and registration	X Games, FISE
Brand-owned event	Specialty contests and broadcasts	Red Bull Rampage, Rockstar Energy Open
Venue or organizer	Grassroots events, clinics, sessions, demos	Resorts, skateparks, cable parks, clubs

Brand calendars are not complete industry calendars

X Games, FISE, Red Bull, Monster Energy, and Rockstar Energy are high-value sources for headline events. They should supplement governing bodies, tours, and registration platforms—not replace them.

Cross-Sport Priority Sources

LiveHeats

The strongest first partnership candidate. LiveHeats supports registrations, schedules, scoring, rankings, and livestreaming across surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, freeski, BMX, scooter, mountain biking, and related sports.

• API: GraphQL with commercial approval and additional fees
• Best use: stable IDs, entry state, divisions, schedules, results, and streams
• Action: request pricing, rights, attribution rules, polling limits, and webhook availability

X Games

Coordinates major skateboarding, BMX, motocross, ski, and snowboard events. Its official schedule is a top-tier source for dates, tickets, and broadcast actions, but not grassroots coverage.

FISE / Hurricane Group

Coordinates international urban-sports festivals and operates UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup events. Coverage includes BMX freestyle, skateboarding, scooter, roller freestyle, and other festival disciplines. Approach Hurricane Group for a tour feed.

Red Bull

Both promoter and broadcaster. It owns or coordinates properties such as Rampage, Hardline, and District Ride, while Red Bull TV exposes live viewing. Treat it as authoritative when it owns or directly operates an event, not merely when it sponsors one.

Monster Energy

Maintains an official events schedule and sponsors many tours. Use its listings for discovery and enrichment; prefer the underlying tour or organizer as the primary record.

Rockstar Energy

Operates selected properties such as the Rockstar Energy Open and sponsors other events. Monitor owned-event pages and identify the actual coordinator for sponsored events.

Industry Maps

Skateboarding

• World Skate and national federations: sanctioned and Olympic-path events
• Street League Skateboarding: professional street tour
• X Games: street, park, vert, and specialties
• The Boardr: broad calendar, registration, and results
• FISE / Hurricane Group: international urban-sports festivals
• Skatepark of Tampa: Tampa Am and Tampa Pro
• Exposure Skate: women's, nonbinary, and adaptive competition
• Grind for Life / The Boardr Series: open regional contests
• Rockstar Energy Open and Red Bull-owned properties
• Local skateparks, municipalities, shops, and promoters

Priority: LiveHeats and The Boardr; then World Skate, SLS, X Games, and FISE; then specialist series and verified local feeds.

BMX

Separate racing from freestyle.

• UCI: international racing and freestyle calendars
• USA BMX: national, Gold Cup, state, and track racing
• USA Cycling: U.S. national championships
• FISE / Hurricane Group: UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup operations
• X Games: BMX freestyle
• The Boardr and LiveHeats: selected contests
• National federations, tracks, parks, and promoters

Mountain Biking

Use discipline tags for downhill, enduro, cross-country, slopestyle, freeride, dual slalom, pump track, and e-MTB.

• UCI and WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series
• Crankworx
• Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour (FMB)
• Red Bull Rampage, Hardline, District Ride, and related properties
• USA Cycling and other national federations
• Regional series, bike parks, and local promoters

Scooter

• World Skate and national federations
• International Scooter Association and affiliated bodies where active
• FISE
• LiveHeats
• Skateparks, shops, and local promoters

Scooter has less consistent global infrastructure, making verified organizer submissions especially important.

Rollerblading / Roller Freestyle

• World Skate and World Skate Europe
• FISE roller freestyle
• LiveHeats where used
• National roller-sport federations and independent promoters

Map source terms including roller freestyle, inline freestyle, and aggressive inline to TrickBook's rollerblading sport.

Surfing

• World Surf League: CT, Challenger, QS, longboard, junior, and regional events
• International Surfing Association: world and federation events
• USA Surfing and national bodies
• LiveHeats: regional associations, boardrider clubs, registration, draws, and results
• Eastern Surfing Association, NSSA, Surfing America, and regional associations
• Specialty-event owners and local clubs

Surf requires separate event-window and day-of competition-call states (It's On, standby, completed).

Wakeboarding

• World Wake Association: Wakeboard World Series and Nautique championships
• IWWF: boat/cable world events and EMS registration
• Pro Wakeboard Tour and major boat-brand series
• National associations, cable parks, dealers, clubs, and grassroots series
• LiveHeats where adopted

Separate boat wakeboard, cable wakeboard, wakesurf, and wakeskate.

Snowboarding

• FIS: World Cups, championships, continental cups, and results
• USASA: U.S. grassroots regional series and nationals
• U.S. Ski & Snowboard and national bodies
• Freeride World Tour pathways
• X Games and Dew Tour
• LiveHeats
• Resorts, terrain parks, regional series, shops, and brand events

USASA competitions are operated by regional series directors, so national listings alone are insufficient for local entry opportunities.

Skiing / Freeski

• FIS
• U.S. Ski & Snowboard, USASA, and national federations
• Freeride World Tour pathways
• X Games and Dew Tour
• IFSA/youth freeride organizers, resorts, terrain parks, and local series
• LiveHeats where adopted

The shared snow connector layer normalizes source terminology while retaining separate skiing and snowboarding sports.

Integration Research Queue

For every source, record:

• Organizer and legal entity
• Sports, disciplines, geography, and event level
• Calendar, registration, ticket, result, and stream URLs
• API, feed, iCalendar, RSS, JSON-LD, or export availability
• Authentication and rate limits
• Display, caching, attribution, and retention rights
• Stable external ID and update timestamps
• Cancellation/postponement behavior
• Partnership contact and status

Recommended Outreach Order
