News says that Street League is going to be adding six skaters to their final 24 big show. These new six will be added through a new qualifier they’re calling, The Selection. The Selection will consist of never-before-seen footage from 10 pros released on The Berrics on April 2, 2012. That footage will then go on to a three part voting process where fans, Street League judges, and current Street League pros will make the call. Once the six have been selected they’ll join with eighteen returning Street League pros for the 2012 season, which includes Nyjah Huston, Chris Cole, Ryan Sheckler, Torey Pudwill, Paul Rodriguez and 2011’s Street League Champion, Sean Malto. So whose contending? Ishod Wair, Austyn Gillette, Ryan Decenzo, Tom Asta, Matt Miller, Jack Curtin, Vincent Alvarez, Chima Ferguson, Jordan Hoffart, and Jimmy Carlin.
