Originally created by modder Brookzee99, the ‘Oshawa Arena’ map is inspired by real-world local skateparks from the Oshawa (Canada) region. With a focus on capturing the essence of competitive skateboarding courses, the indoor skate arena features obstacles and elements found in many competitive skateboard venues and has been optimized for performance by Easy Day Studios.

Skater XL’s ‘Oshawa Arena’ map will host the first ever FakeSkate Open Live Contest on February 5. The first esports skateboarding tournament of its kind, 24 qualifiers (8 per console platform) were selected from over 400 entries last week to compete online this Saturday starting at 12:00 PM PT. Tune in at Twitch.TV/StillMilky to watch some of the best Skater XL gamers in the world compete live for $500 in cash and prizes.
