On Sunday, November 6, skateboarding fans everywhere will tune in to watch the Street League Skating Super Crown, which is streaming on ESPN+ live from Rio de Janeiro. The World Championship women’s event will kick off at 5:30 a.m. PT, and men’s will follow it up at noon PT.
This Sunday, November 6, the Street League Skating Super Crown is headed exclusively to ESPN+. If you’re already an ESPN+ subscriber, all you have to do is log in to start watching, however, if you have yet to sign up for ESPN+, you have two options. The first is that you can choose to sign up for ESPN+ exclusively for only $10 per month. If you’re strictly a sports fan and that makes up the majority of what you watch, then an ESPN+ subscription might be the best option for you.
Alternatively, for many people, the Disney+ bundle may actually be a much better deal. For only $14 per month, you can gain access to everything that ESPN+ has to offer as well as full access to Hulu and Disney+. That’s a huge value! The addition of Hulu and Disney+ for only an additional $4 per month feels like a no-brainer. So, if you’re considering subscribing to ESPN+ for the first time, you should definitely consider the Disney+ bundle.
If you’re excited to check out the Street League Skating Super Crown this Sunday and you’re planning to tune in from the United States, once you’ve signed up for ESPN+ all that is left for you to do is log in. However, if you’re not going to be in the states this Sunday, you’ll have to take one extra step to ensure that you can watch the Super Crown. Before you can stream the event, you’ll want to sign up for a VPN provider, like NordVPN. Most streaming platforms limit the content that’s available based on the country you’re visiting. With a VPN provider, you can trick websites into thinking you’re located in the United States even when you’re traveling abroad. So, once you’ve signed up for NordVPN you can start watching whatever you want whenever you want from anywhere in the world, including the Street League Skating Super Crown this weekend.
China just gave Hollywood a cautionary tale about AI filmmaking. Sanxingdui: Future Past, billed as the country's first fully AI-generated movie, hit theaters on October 23 and bombed at the box office.
According to Futurism, the film's reported $1.5 million production budget landed on more than 10,000 screens. Yet it pulled in only about $181,000, averaging roughly $20 per screen, making the budget difficult to recover.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
