World Downhill Skateboarding Championship 2025 – Isle of Man Highlights (Stand-Up Skate) Round 3 of the WDSC 2025 lit up the Isle of Man, where riders battled three thrilling days on steep, winding roads set against rugged coastlines and rolling green hills. Famous for the Isle of Man TT, the island's racing DNA fueled record crowds-the most attended stop of the season-packing the race village and trackside as jumbo screens and local partners like the Victory Café amped up the atmosphere. Distinguished guests, including Lieutenant Governor Sir John Lorimer and Sarah Maltby, celebrated the event's arrival and future.
The demanding 1.2 km course-three long straights into two tight hairpins-rewarded precision and nerve. After a dramatic day of passes and near-misses, Adrien Paynel capped a perfect run with his third consecutive win of 2025, extending his championship lead. Antonio Madariaga charged to second, Nick Broms secured third, and defending champion Harry Clarke finished fourth after late-race drama.
From lightning starts to hairpin heroics, the Isle of Man delivered world-class downhill skateboarding-speed, skill, and spectacle in an iconic racing paradise. Next stop: Utah.
