ASA ENTERTAINMENT AND SEGA OF AMERICA PARTNER FOR FIRST-EVER “SONIC GENERATIONS OF SKATE”— THREE GENERATIONS OF THE WORLD’S BEST SKATERS BATTLE IN VENICE BEACH ON OCTOBER 22!

Sonic Generations of Skate is a completely unique team competition that pays homage to the three generations of vert skaters that have come through So Cal over the past few decades. Each team consists of one 40-something skater (first generation), one 30-something skater (second generation) and one teen/20-something skater (third generation) competing against other teams with the same mix.“This concept has never been seen before and it’ll give the crowd an exciting show,” said pro skateboarder Pierre Luc Gagnon, who’s earned 16 X Games medals (seven of them gold), three of four Maloof Money Cup Vert championships and two Dew Tour Vert titles. “It’s going to be real cool for the kids to see the first generation of skaters that they never got a chance to see when they were growing up.”There will be four different competitions where each pro will battle for team points against skaters from their own generation. The contests include individual runs, high air, best trick and team doubles. The biggest names in vert from the past and present are expected to represent their generation, including:

First Generation: Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, Kevin Staab and Sergie Ventura

Second Generation: Andy Macdonald, Pierre Luc Gagnon, Sandro Dias and Lincoln Ueda

Third Generation: Adam Taylor, Elliot Sloan, Pedro Barros and Mitchie Brusco
