With skate, BMX, graffiti, breakdancing and music, the Sprite Urban Games now promise to be the biggest showcase of the best street culture in London.

The main event is the SK8/BMX showcase, with a purse of £20,000 up for grabs - but don't worry, there's also the *Wildcard Event for non-pro skaters to show off their tricks.

There's a purpose built SK8/BMX street course with a public viewing gallery so that you can watch the pros parading their most daring moves. There's also a vert ramp, a BMX dirt course and BMX flatland area for the top performers to push themselves to the limits.

As if that's not enough, there's also a breakdancing tent, an electronic games tent, graffiti areas and the best in skate punk and hip hop.

And to keep you going throughout the day, there will be food, covered bars and a retail zone for the best urban buys. The Sprite Urban Games promises to be three packed days to suit all street culture tastes.

So, instead of shooting the breeze, why not hit the ramps and bust a move - or watch the pros do it in style?
