2008 Slaughter at The Opera
Sydney, Australia - Globe and Thrasher have joined together to present Slaughter at The Opera, live from the Sydney Opera House on March 1, 2008.
Following on from the all-time success of last year's Double Stack Cash Attack on the Gold Coast, Globe and Thrasher once again have put their heads together to raise the bar higher, this might actually be as high as it gets. Slaughter At The Opera is the evolution of the annual pilgrimage to Australia for invited professional skateboarders competing for an obscene cash prize purse. Spectators will be treated free-of-charge to an all-out assault by the skateboarding elite on a purpose built set of rails perfectly recreated from iconic locations in the US.
Rails: Specific, perfect recreations of the Outback [El Segundo] and UCI [University of California, Irvine] rails built in a line
