Olympic skateboarder Alex Sorgente, who grew up in South Florida, is hosting a "death race" on Sunday for Go Skate Day, a global skateboarding holiday.

Driving the news: Red Bull Concrete Heats, a head-to-head pump track race at SkateBird Miami, will feature timed qualifying runs open to the public, with the fastest skaters advancing to compete for the podium.

During qualifying, skaters will take single timed runs, with the fastest riders seeded into a bracket. From there, two riders race through the course at the same time, with the faster racer advancing.

Meanwhile, Florida-born skaters Zion Wright and Nikolai Pionbo will be in attendance to host a cash-for-tricks throwdown, with live music performances from Wright, followed by DJ UNDRW and $NOT.

If you go: Doors open at 2pm and qualifiers are at 3pm.
