Stream just popped in my youtube recommended list, had no idea there's an event this week. Looks just lame, it's at that Vans hb park so most likely couldn't afford to rent a stadium and build a new park, and there's less people watching than some shop comps.

Also is Trevor Colden on hard drugs, dude looks just sickly and weak

they recently had an event in london

Wouldn't be mad

Im watching this live now. Nyjah does a switch smith down the big rail and everyone is super impressed. Then mark suciu does a casual one in his line too right after nyjahs. Haha Suciu is the best
-
Hasn't he always looked sickly and weak?
-
Good. Fuck street league and all that jock shit.

Then chugs a monster, Nyjah better watch out

Yeah but at least his skating had some power before

“street league” where you skate prefab obstacles indoors and people watch from the stands like it’s college basketball. couldn’t think of anything lamer than this huge pile of maggot-infested shit.

Always hoped this thing dies fast, it's the jock side of skateboarding.

I'd guess they'll hope it make it until the Olympics, in the hopes that skateboarding get's even more globally popular and mainstream, allowing them to become the official "skateboard league" . Or in the meantime, become the "qualifying event" for said Olympics.
Turned it on. Just under 10K viewers, seems really low. The announcers are about as bland as you can get. Lots of dead time in-between tricks. Dashawn Jordan just boardslid up that big rail from flat, so that was pretty sick.
-
Street League isn't going anywhere. They've partnered with World Skate to host qualifying competitions+statistics for the Olympics.
It also looks different because Nike pulled out of it last year.
-
Just watched a bit. Surprisingly watchable tbh! Love the underdogs. Go kirby! He's great
-
Chris Coles boring voice made me only watch for 30 seconds.
-
Evan is skating a zero board. Guess that rumor of him leaving element was true. Let the speculation continue.

he's the most unprofessional broadcaster which makes it great.

If Nike pulled out it's not a great sign of commercial health.
-
This show has been on a steady decline ever since Nyjah cut his hair and I'm not so sure there isn't a direct connection between those two things.

paging ISUCK

I HIGHLY doubt he’s on Zero

who is commentating with cole? he is fucking terrible - "mark suciu is the most east coast/west coast skateboarder in the history of skateboarding - thats my claim!" - what the fuck

that would be mr SPoT himself, Paul Zitzer

drydek facial structure looks evil and scary

i'm no lip reader, but i'll take a stab at what koston whispered into yuto's ear

(this kid has his own watch handler?! even when federer wins a tennis tournament, he has to pull the rolex out of his own bag before the trophy presentation.)

I think SL has a contract with the Olympics for the use of their scoring system and I think they are doing the qualifying contests.
SL is dying on its own, but by linking up with the Olympics I think they will likely hang on.
-
Watching Nyjah and Yuto circle jerk on a park rail is boring as fuck.
Only good thing is Milton out there having fun but even then you gotta hear Chris Cole say dumb shit like "he skates too fast".
-
I hope so

Had no idea smokes was in SL. Would be sick seeing him attack the course, but I'll stick to his actual street footage.

Much appreciated, always enjoy any footage of him!

I liked watching it, those dudes are good as fuck honestly

Trevor Colden slowly dying confirmed.
-

Yeah, I definitely don't think he is going to zero, I was just stating that he was riding a zero board and not an element board...
-
Honestly think it is. I think I watched something with Nyjah and he showed one of his first Street League checks and he said "This was when they gave the big bucks", so the prizes have definitely lowered. I'd say another 3 years left in them.
-
Thank goodness

Of course they are good. The best in the World. There's just a serious lack of buzz/ juice/ vibe/ personality to the whole thing. It's all so corporate. Almost like watching golf. Vans park series or the Tampa contests are far more entertaining/ fun.

From what I saw of this he didn't land one trick. Think Isuck actually came out on top losing him to skate mental.
As someone mentioned, this felt like watching golf. The Olympics are their only hope
-
I had no idea this happened and it looks like no one in Huntington Beach did either by the empty/nonexistent fans in the stands.
Chris Cole talking is better than Ambien if you are looking to sleep.
The course looks like someone just threw up and put a bunch of shit out there randomly, I highly doubt anyone is going to hit that volcano.
Also, I probably would have heard about this from Bryce Kanights' skatedaily.net, but that seems totally dormant and dead.
-
To me it seems apparent that they just threw this contest together in a hurry to comply with some regulations about being a qualifyer for the Olympics.
The whole thing felt a little rushed and the only thing they seemed to plug really hard was this whole “World championship” concept so it really felt like they had some sort of obligation to do this in the very end of 2018.
-
Street League is very very boring
Chris Cole talks like he's commentating golf too.
-
People are hard on Cole for being so bland during these broadcasts, but if they knew the truth.
The truth that during street league broadcasts, Red Cole texts photos of herself fucking the skaters that took his place on his former sponsors, so think twice before you judge Chris Cole. ok?
-
They definitely split up, and now I am mad at myself for even caring. Slow Monday's at work FTW

Did Nike leave because of low ratings, etc or is it that you can’t have a corporate sponsor for an Olympic qualifying event? Is World Skate a financial backer?
I tried watching this and was asleep on the couch within minutes.
-
Similar to surfing who can’t find sponsors to host their contests, brands pay huge up front costs to put these things on and see less return than if they just paid for an ad in a magazine or by sending a rider somewhere to make an edit.
Contests probably only lose money
Their only hope is the olympics

lol he's from the bay area and attributes a part of his skating style to Karl Watson
-
probably, wouldnt surprise me
-
Saw a funny conversation in one of my group chats a friend mentioned yuto winning and other friend said "Is street league still going ?" Other friend was like "Ya its on till 9pm" to which he responded "No I mean in general"
-
Still not sure who Street League is for. I've yet to meet a non skater who watches it and I don't know any skaters who have gone out of their way to watch it.

I went to the one in Chicago a few years back. It was kinda fun but nothing when you compare it to Tampa.
