Street League’s live debut on ESPN is a perfect way to kick off the 2011 Tour,“ says Dyrdek. „We’ve spent the past year refining our product and expanding our overall reach in order to allow viewers across the world to watch the entire contest as it happens. The results will be incredible.“
The stakes are being raised in 2011 with the addition of the SLS Championship on August 28th at the Prudential Center in New Jersey, featuring the top ten Street League pros competing for $200,000 – the largest first place prize purse in skateboarding history as well as the Street League championship watch and ring. Winners of the first three stops will have a golden ticket directly to the SLS Championship. The remaining contenders will be determined by overall ranking.
Adding to the excitement, the tour will introduce section elimination during the finals. Two riders with the lowest scores will be eliminated in each section, reducing the field from ten finalists to six for the final big section at each event – adding a dramatic story line from start to finish.
