Spinning your way to the top in the World Sign-Spinning Championship in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — You see them on the street, twisting and twirling those giant signs. Now, they’re taking the main stage. The 17th Annual World Sign Spinning Championship returns to Las Vegas this weekend with a battle of the world’s best sign-spinners.
Sign spinning is an extreme sport that puts a literal twist on athletics, art, and advertising. Competitors from Las Vegas, more than 40 U.S. cities, and 10 international locations will showcase their creative skills and signature combinations for the title — World’s Sign Spinning Champion.
“The World Sign Spinning Championship is an unstoppable force of raw talent and energy,” said Max Durovic, co-founder of the AArrow Sign Spinners. “It’s not just an athletic competition; it’s a work of art. (Sign) Spinners train all year for a shot at the #1 title and they put everything they have into their craft. There’s nothing like it out there.”
The World Sign-Spinning Championship will take place on Saturday, Feb. 24 at noon at Fremont Street Experience. The competition is a free event open to the public. You can learn more at this link.
