Street League Skateboarding, the world’s premier professional skateboarding organization and Visible, the Verizon-owned all digital wireless carrier, have announced an extension of their partnership. First established last year, Visible will now present the second stop of the 2022 SLS Championship Tour, coming to Angel Of The Winds Arena August 13-14. This two-day weekend event marks Street League’s return to Seattle for the first time in more than a decade and is part of SLS’ first arena run in three years.
On May 19th, street skateboarding legend and SLS Super Crown world champion Sean Malto visited Seattle to formally launch the event with a press conference and in-market media tour.
The 2022 SLS Championship Tour will build off of Malto’s achievements and take street skateboarding to even greater heights. Fifty of the sport’s best skaters and biggest personalities, including defending SLS Super Crown champions Jagger Eaton (USA) and Pamela Rosa (BRA), SLS icons Nyjah Huston (USA) and Rayssa Leal (BRA) as well as the full Tokyo Olympic Games podium, will vie for the 2022 SLS Super Crown World Championship.
This elite roster will compete in best-in-class live event experiences that offer thrilling entertainment for millions of fans, both those watching from more than 150 countries worldwide as well as the thousands of thrilled spectators experiencing the high-energy competition in person.
And Street League Skateboarding’s young, digitally native fanbase, which compliments Visible’s innovation-driven, customer-first strategy, continues to grow: SLS currently engages with 2.4M Instagram followers as well as 2.3M on Facebook. In 2021, SLS saw Facebook impressions increase by 148% (+174.3M) while Instagram interactions doubled in that timeframe. Last year, SLS’ YouTube channel also exceeded 600,000 total subscribers for the first time.
Joe Carr, CEO of Thrill One Sports and Entertainment – SLS’ parent company, said: “We are excited to welcome Visible back to the Championship Tour and look forward to working together as Street League returns to Seattle. Visible’s all-digital platform offers fans an innovative way to connect and stay engaged with their favorite skaters. Just as SLS has transformed street skateboarding, Visible is changing the wireless game by giving fans more access to the content they crave.”
As a catalyst for connection, Visible is thrilled to extend our partnership with SLS,” said Visible CMO Cheryl Gresham. “We are driven to connect the growing community of engaged SLS skaters and fans alike who are fueled by the world’s most progressive athletes, electric events and must-see content.”
