Behind the Scenes

CONTEST PRODUCERS  

Contest producers Kevin Harris and Terry Chui are once again teaming up to bring you the 10th Anniversary World Freestyle Round-Up Skateboarding Championships. The vision they share is to create a fun, energy-packed annual event. Although they are the driving force behind the event, they are joined by a very talented group of volunteer staff including website designers, graphic artists, social media experts, DJ’s, MC’s, audio and video technicians, and skateboarders who all share the same goals: to run a top-notch event that everyone will remember.

Terry Chui – Contest Executive Producer – Terry has volunteered with the World Round-Up as a staff member since 2017. He has helped with planning and coordination of our contests, along with the Online Showdown in 2020 and 2021. He also produced the freestyle contests and demos for the 7 Generations Cup in 2023 and 2024.
With a background in graphic design, illustration, apparel design, art direction, video production and social media, Terry has a depth of experience which has helped elevate the quality and production value of our contest. Terry has worked with various organizations on events for a wide range of venues. From auto racing competitions and clinics to convention appearances, as well as event coordination and fundraising for charities, he is able to adapt his vast experience to our contest. His 19 years of experience working in digital media as an Art Director and Creative Director has been invaluable to the World Round-Up.

Kevin Harris – Associate Producer – Kevin turned Pro in 1982 becoming Canada’s first Professional Skateboarder and is still rated as one of the top freestylers in the world. He owns and operates Ultimate Skateboards, Canada’s first and largest skateboard distribution center, and started Canada’s first skateboard magazine, Concrete Skateboard Magazine. The legendary Richmond Skate Ranch which helped launch several of Canada’s top pros was also owned by Kevin, and he was a co-owner of the RDS Skatepark. A member of both the famous Ripping Squad and the Bones Brigade skateboard teams, Kevin is known for his fluid skating style, incorporating complex variations with exceptional footwork. He also helped start and promote the highly successful ”Slam City Jam” which put Vancouver, B.C. on the map as a Mecca for skateboarders. With Kevin’s success in both skateboarding and the business world he once again brings his knowledge to the table as one of the producers of the World Freestyle Round-Up.

David Faber – Contest Producer – David Faber is a local freestyler and co-founder along with Terry Chui of Vancity Freestyle Sk8, a local freestyle skate crew in Vancouver BC Canada. The crew has worked hard to put on local jams, demos and clinics and plan to organize smaller local contests. Their goal is to grow the freestyle community and help usher in the next generation of freestyle talent. Vancity Freestyle Sk8 crew members are also volunteering as members of the World Round-Up staff, to make our contest the best it can be.
 

Monty Little – Contest Consultant – Monty Little has been the driving force behind the World Round-Up for the past 9 consecutive freestyle contests. A legend in Canadian skateboard history, Monty has inspired many skaters through his work and advocacy for skateboarding, skateparks and contests. Monty has retired from contest organization, but he now is a consultant for our contest.
Besides co-founding CASA, the Canadian Amateur Skateboard Association, he has run hundreds of skateboard safety clinics and contests across Canada. In 1986 he was approached to run skateboard demos for the Worlds Fair at EXPO 86. Monty organized the first true World Championships with 22 amateur teams and pros from 17 countries competing at the TransWorld Skateboard Championships. He has also been instrumental in designing several skateboard parks in Canada including lobbying for Canada’s first community skateboard park in 1977 and putting together the first Canadian Skatepark Guide. A youth advocate for Canadian skateboarders, he also has over 30 years of service as a Boy Scout leader.

NOTE: Both Monty and Kevin helped to launch CANADA SKATEBOARD, the national skateboard association that sent Canadian athletes to the 2021 Summer Olympics Games in Tokyo, Japan.
