Streetleague slowly dying?
« on: December 16, 2018, 10:48:33 AM »
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

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

“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.

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.

Evan is skating a zero board. Guess that rumor of him leaving element was true. Let the speculation continue.

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.

(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".

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