Globe has never been shy to hold a top event in the past with the World Cup events, but this year they decided it was Time for Change and consequently launched The Global Assault! Now while it is a contest it remains in a class of its own because, as some have said. it's the most fair, legit and open format skate comp ever held.

Featuring the world's best skateboarders: Mark Appleyard, Chris Cole, Jamie Thomas, Ryan Sheckler, Colt Cannon, Ronnie Creager, Corey Sheperd, Paul Machnau, Greg Lutzka, Matt Mumford, Chad Bartie, Geoff Rowley, Eric Koston, Brandon Biebel, and Nyjah Huston.
