| DESCRIPTION: |
For the past six years, inline skating has been one of the fastest growing sports in the world. As part of its phenomenal development, a new discipline called aggressive skating (or trick skating) has taken the globe by storm and become the top growth area in the sport. The ASA Pro Tour is the competitive circuit on which the world’s top skaters compete. The tour featured eleven cities in 2000. The ASA Pro Tour World Championships is the largest and most prestigious event in the sport. In addition to the Pro Championships, the ASA will also be holding its North American Amateur Championships during the same weekend where the best amateur skaters from the continent will battle for up to fifteen spots on the 2001 Pro Tour. |
