    SLS NIKE SB WORLD TOUR: MUNICH SCHEDULE SLS 2016 1 JUNE 24, 2017 OLYMPIC PARK MUNICH ABOUT SLS Founded by pro skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in 2010, Street League Skateboarding (SLS) was created to foster growth, popularity, and acceptance of street skateboarding worldwide. Since then, SLS has evolved to become a platform that serves to excite the skateboarding community, educate both the avid and casual fans, and empower communities through its very own SLS Foundation. In support of SLS’ mission, Nike SB joined forces with SLS in 2013 to create SLS Nike SB World Tour. In 2014, the SLS Super Crown World Championship became the official street skateboarding world championship series as sanctioned by the International Skateboarding Federation (ISF). In 2015, SLS announced a long-term partnership with Skatepark of Tampa (SPoT) to create a premium global qualification system that spans from amateur events to the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship. The SPoT partnership officially transitions Tampa Pro into becoming the SLS North American Qualifier that gives one non-SLS Pros the opportunity to qualify to the Barcelona Pro Open and one non-SLS Pro will become part of the 2017 World Tour SLS Pros. Tampa Pro will also serve as a way for current SLS Pros to gain extra championship qualification points to qualify to the Super Crown.

  • In Late 2011, Mark Gonzales Was Named "Most Influential Skateboarder of All Time" by Transworld Skateboarding
    In late 2011, Mark Gonzales was named "Most Influential Skateboarder of All Time" by Transworld Skateboarding. The following year he was inducted into skateboarding's Hall of Fame. But accolades haven't stopped "The Gonz" from continuing to evolve, both as revolutionary skater and prolific artist. Born in South Gate, California in 1968, Gonz entered the skateboarding world at age 13, and by 16, was featured on the 1984 cover of Thrasher magazine. Along with fellow Hall of Famer Natas Kaupas, Gonz was first to skate on handrails, and first to ollie the Wallenberg set, a 19-foot long span of concrete blocks in San Francisco. "I think a lot of it has to do with that adrenaline rush, that kick that makes you feel very alive in that exact moment, and you want to do that more," says Gonz. His video parts, such as in Blind's Video Days, still stand testimony to his limitless and whimsical approach that changed skateboarding forever. Concurrent with his legendary skateboarding career, Gonz has also established himself as a contemporary artist, whose spontaneous and avant-garde visual expressions have been seen in galleries worldwide, used in Calvin Klein ad campaigns and served as graphics for his skateboard company – Krooked Skateboards. Gonz original designs have been long sought after by collectors of all walks, including Donald Trump and Sean Combs. We met up with Gonz at his private art studio in New York City to discuss the future of skateboarding and it's place in the Olympics, hear a dirty story from the filming of Away Days and receive a history lesson on skateboarding's beginnings.

  • One More Push, to Clear the Last Step. Planning for Skateboarding
    One more push, to clear the last step. Planning for Skateboarding. Submitted by Jamie Edwards (3722078) for the MA in Planning, Policy and Practice (3064) of London Southbank University School of Law and Social Sciences Division of Urban, Environment and Leisure Studies September 2020. This dissertation may be made available for consultation within London South Bank University and may be photocopied or lent to other libraries for the purposes of consultation. X Jamie Edwards I declare that this dissertation is my own unaided work except where specifically referenced to the work of others. X Jamie Edwards Jamie Edwards: 3722078 1 1. Abstract Skateboarding has long been scrutinised and studied as a transgressive young person’s counter culture with a differential use of space. Furthermore, there is evidence that policy mechanisms and defensive architecture have been employed to cull skateboarding in public space exacerbating the antisocial experience of said space. However there is also evidence that, skateboarding, when inclusively accepted in to public space, can generate economic, social and environmental benefits. Skateboarding is not only an enabler for people to interact with their surroundings playfully but it also shapes the environment through the active engagement of the planning system and community based bottom-up collectiveness that is infused in a DIY culture. As such skateboarding, I argue, should not be designed out but designed into public spaces and to be successful this requires positive relationships between the user and the authority. To further facilitate this an evidence based document is required to support the ‘technocrat’ in understanding what the positive benefits that skateboarding can offer in the production of space.
