THE ALL NEW SLS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
SLS, in a partnership with World Skate, is proud to introduce our all new World Championship format! In the past, only the top 8 skaters in season point standings would advance to the Super Crown Final. Now, moving forward only the top 4 skaters in season point standings will advance straight to the Super Crown Final leaving 4 open slots that will be battled for in a new multi round format including a Quarter Final and Semi Final round.
The final SLS Season Point Standings will now play a much larger role as it will dictate a skater’s placement in this all new World Championship format. The top 4 ranked skaters will go straight into the finals. SLS Pros ranked #5 through #20 will advance straight into the Semi Finals and SLS Pros ranked #21-35 will advance straight into the Quarter Final. The Quarter Final will additionally include 15 top up-and-comers from all over the world decided through a Global Open qualification round, all vying for their chance to become a World Champion and join the World Tour.
In addition to this new format, we will be expanding the SLS Women’s division at the World Championship as well! More details on that expansion coming very soon! This all new World Championship will be going down January in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Don’t miss this historic moment as we turn the page into a new chapter of SLS. Progression lives here! SLS Rio tickets will be on sale soon, so keep an eye out.

Nike SB x Stüssy
“Whether it’s in the terrain, riding something new or in a different way, or in the maneuvers, the story of progressive skateboarding is creating with individuality and bringing something completely new to it. It’s about the creative experience in skateboarding—the whole essence of riding a skateboard is that each individual gets to bring new ideas and breaking boundaries, open to interpretation. By doing creative things, intertwined and alongside of it, is all part of showing the inventive core—because the whole aspect of skateboarding is a creative expression.” — Lance Mountain

100 Kickflips In The Nike SB x NBA Bruin Low With Bobby Worrest and Trevor McCune
“Ever since we started doing these 100 Kickflip videos we’ve had a ton of people asking to do their own so we partnered with Nike SB to offer someone that very chance! Out of 1300 people tagging their best kickflips on Instagram it was Trevor McCune of Bakersfield CA who took the top prize. We flew Trevor up to Portland so he could do his very own 100 Kickflip challenge at the Nike SB park with Bobby Worrest in a new NBA edition Bruin shoe. It turns out he’s really, really good so this was not that hard for him… Check out the Bruin low as well as a ton of other Nike SB product at CCS now, and MAJOR congrats to Trevor for blowing our minds!” – CCS
