A forum for the world’s best riders and filmers to create premium video content, the Real Series brings together the worlds of competitive action sports and core video parts. Originally launching with the Real Street competition in the summer of 2010, the Real Series has now grown to include six video competitions – with Snowboard, Ski, BMX, Moto and Wakeboard disciplines now added to the lineup – and more on the way in 2018.
The final competition in the Real Series for 2017, Real Wake Driven by MasterCraft, will drop never before seen wakeboard video parts September 6. The schedule is subject to change.
