The best and second-best professional vert skaters in the world have been confirmed for the 2002 Nutrilite Extreme Challenge in Taipei.
Japan's Eito Yasutoko, 19, won the X Games in-line skating challenge in Philadelphia last week. His 16-year-old brother Takeshi came second, even though he has recently surpassed his older sibling in the ASA Pro Tour rankings.
The pair started skating when they were just two-years-old and have been trained by their father.
Already confirmed for the Nutrilite Extreme Challenge in Taipei on Sept. 7 to Sept. 8, is the US' Jaren Grob, who pulled off multiple 900s -- two-and-a-half rotation jumps -- to win the aggressive in-line skate park competition at the X Games.
X Games pinup Fabiola D Silva, Sam Fogarty and Randy Marino have also been confirmed for the event.
