Skater XL Announced as Exclusive Game Partner of Street League Skateboarding Championship Tour
Easy Day Studios announced today that Skater XL will be the exclusive console/PC video game sponsor of the Street League Skateboarding (SLS) 2021 Championship Tour. The world’s largest street skate competition for over a decade, SLS will begin the first leg of its highly-anticipated 2021 tour in Salt Lake City, Utah today (August 27th) and tomorrow (August 28th).
In celebration of the partnership, the team at Easy Day Studios has released a new map of skate icon Paul “PRod” Rodriguez’s Primitive Skatepark available now. The updated map is based on Primitive Skateboarding’s brand new indoor training facility which hosted the SLS Tour Qualifier in late July, setting the stage for the return of street skateboarding’s premier annual competition.
“The SLS Championship Tour is an iconic brand in street skateboarding and one that we felt made a lot of sense for Skater XL,” states Jeff Goforth, Marketing Director for Easy Day Studios. “Coming out of the excitement and broad visibility of the Olympics, the tour is well-timed to build on that momentum as street skateboarding’s most long-standing competition that shows off the talents of some of the best pros in skateboarding today.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Skater XL as excitement builds for the 2021 SLS Championship Tour,” says Joe Carr, CEO of Thrill One Sports and Entertainment – SLS’ parent company. “Gaming has been a key element of skateboarding culture for decades. Now Skater XL is leading a resurgence in the space with innovation and authenticity, qualities that will also be front and center when the world’s best face off for street skateboarding’s ultimate prize.”
The 2021 SLS Championship Tour is a three-stop series taking place at the following U.S. cities:
- Salt Lake City, Utah – August 27th – 28th (Utah State Fairgrounds)
- Miami, Florida – October 29th – 30th (SkateBird Miami)
