There is no better opportunity to elevate Street League globally than our new partnership with the X Games,“ says Street League creator Rob Dyrdek. „By launching a fully connected world tour, our pros now have 6 events to qualify into the Championship, with each tour stop utilizing the standard Street League format, course design, and prize money that has helped establish the series as the most elite tour in skateboarding. This partnership not only gives more to our fans but also adds undeniable media support from ESPN to give the league a true global impact.“

With this partnership, Street League is also launching its first-ever qualifier, the SLS Select Series.  The SLS Select Series will be at each of the four Global X events and will consist of 10 pre-qualified professional skateboarders and 5 local skateboarders from each Global X host city.  The 15 skaters battle it out on the same Street League at X Games course for a chance to compete in that Street League at X Games pro event.  The top two overall ranked athletes in the 4-stop SLS Select Series will qualify into next year’s SLS World Tour.
