Skateboard Street League

Street League features the exclusive participation of 24 of the best street skateboarders in the world. To assist their transition into the league, each pro has been given the option to compete in two non-sanctioned wildcard events until the end of 2010. Beginning in 2011, the pros will compete exclusively in the Street League series and other Street League sanctioned events worldwide. Street League will work in conjunction with ESPN to allow Street League pros to participate in ESPN-owned events for the duration of the partnership.

Using real time scoring and an exciting proprietary competition format, Street League" will tell a compelling story about each skateboarder's performance and will have fans on the edge of their seats from the first trick to the very last. The inaugural year of Street League features a three-stop arena tour beginning at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona on August 28; Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California on September 11; and the final stop in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center on September 25. The skaters will be competing at each event for a total purse of $1.2 million. (Source: ESPN)
