For the first time in history, street skateboarding competition has been organized into its very own professional league with Street League Skateboarding. The tour will feature the best skateboarders in the world competing head-to-head in individual tour stops through the summer of ‘10.

Founded by twenty-year professional skateboarder and famous MTV television personality, Rob Dyrdek, Street League is the future of competitive street skateboarding. A total of 24 of the world’s biggest stars will compete in the league exclusively. The first pros that have signed include Chris Cole, Ryan Sheckler, Greg Lutzka, Torey Pudwill, PJ Ladd, Sean Malto, Mike Mo Capaldi, Mikey Taylor, Billy Marks, Tommy Sandoval and Paul Rodriguez. The Street League™ pros will be battling it out for more than $1 million in prize money on a three-stop arena tour this summer. Dyrdek explained, “It has been a dream of mine to create a professional tour that bridges the gap between true street skateboarding and contest skating, which to date has been fragmented and misguided. Street League is more than just a new contest series; it will redefine the way skateboarding competitions are done.”

To maximize the talents of these street skateboarding stars, Street League has designed authentic concrete skate plazas to be built on the floors of world-class sports arenas. In addition, the league brings the exclusive use of the instant scoring experience technology (ISX), to the world of skateboarding.

The tour begins at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona on August 28th, Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California on September 11th, and the final stop in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center on September 25th.
