SLS World Tour in London

The best skateboarders in the world are poised in the Copper Box Arena for the finale of the SLS World Tour in London.  The first of two Sunday sessions gets underway at 11am with tickets available online.

The SLS World Tour returns to the capital this weekend for a second time with the stakes higher than ever.  Some of the globe’s greatest skaters are going head-to-head in the Olympic Park showing off their tricks and skills in an event acting as qualifier for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics when skateboarding will make its debut as an Olympic sport.

With an updated format including instant scoring to promote last trick ‘buzzer-beater’ moments the London leg of the SLS World Tour is guaranteed to appeal to existing fans and new spectators alike.

Ones to watch:Nyjah Huston.  The overall SLS men’s winner in 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2017, Huston is also the current World Champion.  Suffice to say the American – a fan favourite and currently tied with Shane O’Neill for the highest scored trick ever in SLS (9.9) – is hot favourite to win in London.  Leticia Bufoni is a superstar in women’s skateboarding and a celebrity in her home country of Brazi with her own TV show “Leticia, Let’s Go,”.  Ranked number 2 in the women’s competition her main rival in London will be two-time SLS Women’s World Champion Lacey Baker.
