Launched in 2010, Street League Skateboarding (SLS) is an international competitive series in professional skateboarding. The league features twenty-four professional street skateboarders competing for the largest monetary prize in the history of skateboarding,〔 and was founded by professional skateboarder and entrepreneur Rob Dyrdek. SLS is the first-ever professional league for street skateboarding. ==History== The idea for SLS first arose when Dyrdek reviewed the state of professional street skateboarding competitions and was dissatisfied with the state of competitive skateboarding. Dyrdek proceeded to develop the SLS concept to improve upon the flaws that he identified. The inaugural year of Street League featured a four-stop arena tour that began at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Arizona on August 28, 2010. The other venues for the inaugural tour were the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California on September 11, 2010, and the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 25, 2010. The 2011 Super Crown World Champion was Sean Malto, who upset the competitive domination of Nyjah Houston for his first Street League win and the US$200,000 first place prize. Huston won the US$200,000 Champion's prize in 2012, in addition to a championship watch and ring set from Nixon Watches, and a Chevy Sonic vehicle. In May 2013, the GoPro camera company was announced as the official camera sponsor of the 2013 SLS international tour. GoPro, which sponsors SLS contestants Ryan Sheckler and Malto, was used to feature the broadcasts of the domestic American events, including course previews and real-time impact highlights.. As of May 19, 2013, Huston had won more prize money than any other skateboarder in history. The 2013 Super Crown World Champion, Chris Cole, also earned his first career SLS win earlier in 2013 at the Street League at X Games stop in Munich, Germany. At the championship, Cole earned US$200,000 for his win, along with the custom Nixon championship watch and ring. Huston and Luan Oliveira placed second and third respectively. Paul Rodriguez won his second SLS stop in Portland, Oregon in July 2013. In March 2014, Street League signed a multi-year partnership with FOX Sports 1 for worldwide distribution.〔http://streetleague.com/archives/sls-is-now-on-fox-sports-1/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Street League Skateboarding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
