HOOKED TOURNAMENT
Tricking is more than a sport; it's a passion. Over the past 10 years, we've pushed ourselves to ensure each Hooked event outshines the previous one. Your continued support makes this possible!
Expect high-energy battles, attempts at world records, and an atmosphere brimming with the unique Dutch 'gezelligheid'*. We're on the lookout for hidden gems, OG talents, and outstanding powerhouses. At Hooked, the stage is yours to impress the world!
*gezelligheid: that heartwarming vibe that defines the essence of being at Hooked.
Back in 2013, Danny and Laurent envisioned a modest gathering in Amsterdam, thinking, "This could be fun." Little did they know, Hooked would evolve into a rapidly growing phenomenon, akin to a snowball gaining momentum with each year.
Despite facing challenges, our commitment remains: to elevate each edition above the last. This journey has been marked by stellar line-ups, celebrated guests, unparalleled excitement, and the unwavering support of our treasured partners, friends, and community.
