The beginning of a new era in skateboarding, X Games reached out to Transition Productions to produce the first real street skate competition at a legendary skate spot - Philly's City Hall across from Love Park. 2001 marked the transition of video street skaters starting to compete in meaningful events for the first time blurring the lines that have become the norm 20 years later.

Thanks to our friends at Dischord and ESL for creating the soundtrack and thanks to the Philly skate scene and Jamie Reynolds for coming together to do it.

Twenty years ago today, on August 11, 2001, X Games held its first Skateboard Street competition at City Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And it was mayhem. Imagine the scenario: across a busy downtown street from Love Park, Philadelphia's City Hall was already a go-to destination for street skaters. And with the addition of a few banked landings that created new lines, X Games took to the streets for the very first time. Featured skaters include Kerry Getz, Eric Koston, Kareem Campbell, Kyle Berard, Chris Senn, Ricky Oyola, Rick McCrank, Josh Kalis and some impromptu MC'ing from Jason Ellis.
