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.

Shredfest...

Skateboarding and music go hand in hand. Whether it's to get you psyched up to hop on that beast of a handrail you've been eyeing, or your body just cannot take the punishment day after day like it used to -music is a great way to spend the time in between slams and keep the hype.
Some friends' bands came thru earlier this month for a little Shreddin'. Here's a small taste of the madness and destruction.
Sometimes you just gotta rock on! ...enough said.

The hype lives on, rain or shine.

This semester's game..

Here's a few quick highlights from the Game of S.T.A.T.E. competition that when down on 2/17/2013, following the beloved traditions of the club. Despite being rained out on the 16th, we had a successful event for all of the local skate-patrons the next day. In case you missed it, this is a quick peep of what went down... oh, and we did get some rain during the event, but the storm only came to drop shoes, shirts, wheels, hoodies, and a massive precipitation of stickers... so, no one was complaining.

Top shredders of the flow and bowl section were Jack Hilbish, Thomas Henson, Cody Morgan, Nolan (missing last name), Keegan Guizard, Alec Chambers, and Ian (also missing last name). The magnitude of this event could not be fully captured on film, so if you were not there, you missed out... next time, DON"T.

We raised over $400 for CFF of Raleigh through that event. This video uses a bit of a different approach than we usually use, but hey, it got us onto your cablevision, didn't it?
