NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Eight pro skaters will compete for the $200,000, winner-take-all Street League of Skateboarding championship Sunday on a course built in the Prudential Center.
The field includes Sean Malto, the 2011 Street League champion; Nyjah Huston, who won the first two stops of this year’s tour; and Paul Rodriguez, who won the third stop. The rest of the skaters are Ryan Sheckler, Chaz Ortiz, Chris Cole, Luan Oliveira and Bastien Salabanzi.
Malto denied Huston a season sweep in 2011 by winning the finals. This year, Huston won the first two stops before Rodriguez won the third stop.
