Ten female athletes will show off their skills on the Gravity Games Pro Street Course and vie for part of the record purse. Top qualifying athletes include Vanessa Torres, Lauren Perkins and Lyn-z Adams Hawkins. While many other action sports events are limiting their competitor fields, the Gravity Games continues to put athletes first by adding events and expanding competitor fields, giving more action sports athletes the chance to compete.
“Women's Skateboarding has progressed immensely in recent years and these athletes deserve a forum to showcase their talent," said Gravity Games Competitions Manager Dave McKay. "We hope the prize purse will motivate more female athletes to pursue their talents and passions, in turn providing positive role models for aspiring female athletes in action sports.”
All Gravity Games tickets are general admission and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Individual day tickets are $12. Fans can also take advantage of the discounted four-day general admission ticket package for $40. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster at 216-241-5555 or by calling any Ticketmaster charge-by-phone number and online at Ticketmaster.
