Adrenaline Tricking League (ATL) is the first professional league for Tricking, where martial arts meets action sports. Tricking—an acrobatic sport blending martial arts, gymnastics, parkour, and breakdancing into a wholly unique movement—creates a visually explosive display of flips, kicks, and twists. It’s not a derivative of another sport; Tricking is a new category with a 30-year underground foundation and a massive, untapped global fan base. ATL is building the infrastructure to own the entire ecosystem.
Adrenaline has grown from grassroots camps and viral digital content into the crown jewel of the Tricking industry. With deep roots in athlete development, viral content creation, and global community engagement, we’ve built a framework the sport never had - live events, exclusive athletes, sponsorships, broadcast deals, studio programming, and storytelling to relate Tricking to casual and avid fans. Our mission is to grow the world’s most cinematic sport into a viable career, recognized culture, and a global entertainment force—putting Tricking on the map and changing lives along the way.
We proved early demand with six-figure ticket sales across two live events at Mandalay Bay—including a nationally televised broadcast on CBS Sports Network - and have grown a combined 50M+ social following across our athletes’ and Adrenaline-owned channels.
With a large and engaged existing following, we have the power to drive audience to our own channels, giving us leverage to shape distribution and retain greater control over the value we create. The digital-first media model includes live broadcasts across platforms, gamified original content, and behind-the-scenes shoulder programming to deepen fan connection, increase our content library’s value, and turn Adrenaline athletes into true dual-threat stars: competitors and content creators.
