The summer tradition of skateboarding at Prudential Center continues this August as Street League Skateboarding (SLS) brings the full 25-Pro League roster to the East Coast for the first time. The 2015 SLS Nike SB World Tour will return to Newark’s Prudential Center on August 23rd for a nationally telecast live event on Fox Sports 1 and internationally webcast on streetleague.com. This year’s World Tour event will be the fifth straight year that Prudential Center will play host to SLS competition. From 2011 to 2014, Prudential Center was home to the Top 8 Pros and the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship.
Street League Skateboarding will also be adding two more SLS Pros into the League before the arena tour kicks off with the debut of the first-ever independent international Pro Open event on the SLS calendar. The 2015 SLS Nike SB Pro Open in Barcelona, Spain will establish a forum for the world’s best to shine alongside the elite of SLS to qualify directly into the Tour and provide an opportunity for the next class of street skateboarders to enter this elite competitive series.
“We’re extremely excited to bring the SLS Nike SB Pro Open to international soil; there’s still an unrepresented field of amazing skateboarders out there that deserve to have a chance to earn their way into Street League,” says Brian Atlas, President of SLS. “And to have it take place on a permanent skate plaza being built at the unrivaled Mecca in street skateboarding, will create a dream scenario for the kick-off of the 2015 tour.”
SLS offers options for fans across the world to tune in and watch skateboarding’s most prestigious competition series. Fans in the United States can watch the 2015 SLS Nike SB World Tour on FOX Sports 1 and customers of participating cable and satellite TV providers may access the live stream of the Tour stops through the FOX Sports GO app for iOS, Android, Windows and Kindle devices, as well as on desktops through FOX Sports Go. International SLS fans can catch the official live webcast exclusively on StreetLeague.com.
