A spectacle of hucking and gravity will go down at the Santa Monica Pier on April 15th at Levi’s 3rd Annual Powersliding Championships.

Rock stars, celebrity judges including Olympic Gold Medalist skier Jonny Moseley, Jason Acuña (“Wee-Man” from Jackass), and Kendra Wilkinson (the too hot to handle star of The Girl's Next Door), sliders and the public will all converge at the Santa Monica Pier beach parking lot from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM on April 15th for the competition. The event includes a sizable street course that will test the competitors’ freestyle skills with 40-foot, four-story rails and boxes.

Other highlights include a performance from Brooklyn rockers Matt & Kim, complimentary treats from Mountain Dew and Kogi Korean BBQ taco trucks, and free custom screen-printed apparel, all surrounding the massive Powersliding course. A way for spectators to cut loose and take a break from tax day, KROQ's Psycho Mike, Catfish, and our celebrity judges will keep the crowd entertained and help encourage carnage on the rails.
