Contest Archives: 2015 Showdown

Travel back to 2015 with us, to relive the spring semester flatspot and 10-stair contest.  This is just a glimpse into some of the stoke that went down this day, straight from the deep NC Skate vault.  For this one, Isiah Rodriguez and Alec Chambers put it down heavy, as they always do, with many others down to shred - including an epic NBD (as far as I know) on the 10-stair! 

As always, stay safe and stay hyped.

We made it onto Thrasher Mag!

...well, sort of. CSEF did!

The College Skateboarding Education Foundation, which had it's beginnings here at NCSU with NC Skate and Collegiate Skate Tour, found it's way onto a post by the one-and-only Thrasher Magazine this month.

Ramp Edit: 'Juggernaut' Video

It's been a while since we've posted any original skate content on here... but what better time then now to brush off the cobwebs and bring back the hype.

Here is a fresh edit of our backyard ramp through a few years of shredding and house shows, alongside music from Raleigh's own Atomic Buzz (formerly The Manimals).

Enjoy the ride; stay safe and stay hyped everyone.

BRICK MAGIC: Volume 1 is here!

To commemorate the ten year anniversary of NC Skate, I am pleased to bring you The Brick Magic Archives. A film created between 2010 and 2012 by a group of friends, and skateboarders, attending NC State University.
While this video is nearly a decade old, it is ripe with the essence of skateboarding: FUN.
There is no shortage of good times and fond memories here.
KEEP SKATEBOARDING FUN.
-An NC Skate film, 2012

The future of skateboarding...

Everyone involved in the NC Skate movement has gone on to make, and continue to make, huge impacts on the world in all different ways. Keegan, however, has stayed the course all these years and continues to reshape the way Universities and Skateboarding fit together. 
Keegan and other influential skaters now have their very own nonprofit and are awarding scholarships to deserving, college-bound skateboarders! What better way to promote growth and involvement in the skate world than sponsoring the next generation to make their own impact.

Progress: Dalton Newbury

Remember that toddler on a skateboard with the orange beanie that kickflipped the infamous State 10-stair back in the 2011 NC Skate contest?? If you need a little refresher watch this video: ncsk8/2011/let-story-be-told
And then watch the part above. That's progress. And this is Dalton's Melodi part that was featured on Thrasher recently. Props Dalton! Keep on pushin'... you're doing something right.

Progress: Rob Werner

Rob is insane - and I mean that with love. Rob is one of those people you struggle to understand, and then you see him skate and immediately you are saying 'Oh, I get it!.' His skating is perfection... on another level... or planet really!
Rob's the best and I grew up skating with him and just being inspired. (Miss you homie!)
Watch this part and I guarantee you will be hitting rewind on that ender over and over and over again! Shit's magic
