The Street League Skateboarding launched in 2010 when Rob Dyrdek was looking for a different type of competition. Street Skateboarding is the most popular category of action sports. Do your kids love skateboarding? Do you? Jayden loves to watch people as they are skateboarding and I am excited to take him to this and see his reaction. I'm sure he will leave asking for his own skateboard.
