Greg Ruhoff

Greg Ruhoff is a 22 years old Swiss professional skateboarder.

Following numerous podiums in Switzerland during his teenage years, his entourage pushed him to compete with the cream of the crop of European skaters at the age of 17.

One year later, Greg won 2nd place at the Red Bull Bowl Rippers Amateur in Marseille, one of the legendary competitions in the discipline, which allowed him to
compete the next day with the pros. A dream come true, Greg was challenging his American idols.

Known for his long "frontside grind" and surfing style, Greg was quickly spotted by Swiss Skateboard in 2018. In fact, the Swiss Skateboard Federation quickly set out to form a national team for the Olympics.

And it was in 2019 that things started to get serious for the Lausanne native. Greg climbed into the European Top 10 and in parallel to that, the officiel circuit for the Olympic qualification started for the first time. These competitions allowed Greg to show what he is capable of on several continents.

Greg, unfortunately, did not succeed in qualifying Switzerland for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, but his journey so far allows him to make a living from his passion and he keeps his sights set on representing Switzerland at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
