The skateboarding team features Tony Hawk, Andy Macdonald, Lincoln Ueda and Sergie Ventura with the newest addition to the team, Rune Glifberg. The BMX roster includes Mat Hoffman, Dennis McCoy, Chad Kagy and Kevin Robinson. Moto X freestyle riders Drake McElroy, Ronnie Faisst, Brian Deegan and Dustin Miller round out the production.

Featuring a larger and more elaborate ramp system, the multi-million dollar set-up is the central point of these events. Adding extra excitement to this year's tour is a 30-foot roll-in that will launch the athletes 42 feet through the air over the ramp, only to shoot them off the top of a 20-foot-tall quarter pipe. DJ Aero will provide the music.
