street league

Street league is a skateboard competition on live tv that features the best skateboarders on the planet. Street league is the equivalent to a professional baseball or hockey game to skateboarders. Street league also features stops where they stop in different areas to bring the event to. It's mostly in America with stops like New Jersey, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Street league has also started making stops as far as Barcelona. There is around 3 stops and a championship. Skaters earn tickets to the supercrown championship by winning the other stops and the top 8 go into the championship for a chance at more money of 200 000$. They start with the qualifiers and eliminate down to the last 8 skaters as the top 8 to compete head to head for the chance to win 100 000$ with smaller winnings for second and third place. The winners also win trophies for third second and first place with the second and third being silver and the first being gold. They also win a very expensive ring and watch for first place. Rob dyrdek is the founder of street league and provides the funds needed for the event and is in charge of the entire thing. Many of the same pros appear in the events finals such as nyjah Huston, Paul Rodriguez, Luan oliveira and more. With nyjah being the first in history to have a season sweep by winning every stop including the pro open.

  1. Interesting topic. I broke my foot skateboarding and gave it up after that. What was your biggest accident or near-accident in skateboarding?
    A few issues :
    - Some posts under the 200 word minimum (ex. xgames)
    - Spelling/ grammar issues (ex. Heart lines vs hartlines, etnies, ne vs one, etc.)
    - Your unique opinion not always clear in your posts.
    - Unclear where much of your sourcing comes from. (If you don’t tell us where you got your info, it can be considered plagiarism.)
    - Little to no media.
