Cool vibes and an electric atmosphere were the name of the game at the Olympic Ice Stadium as the world’s best street skateboarders gathered in Munich for the second time to battle it out at the first stop of the Street League Skateboarding (SLS) World Tour. As with all other SLS World Tour events the skaters taking part were competing not only for fame and victory at MASH but also for valuable points for the overall standings. The best of the best at the end of the season are invited to the SLS Nike SB Super Crown World Championship in Los Angeles.
In Munich it was Nyjah Huston (USA) who came out on top. However, the veteran skater from the US was pushed all the way by SLS Rookie Yuto Horigome (JPN), who had only qualified for the SLS World Tour a few weeks earlier in Barcelona. In the end Huston came out on top to claim his second win of the season and his 18th career win, while Horigome finished second and Carlos Ribeiro (BRA) rounded out the podium in third.
