The Golden Mean


As skateboarders it is sometimes hard to gain support at a college university. The Skateboarding Club at NC State in Raleigh, NC is working to make skateboarding a hot commodity at universities everywhere. Not saying that skateboarding should be a marketing gimmick or even controlled, in anyway, by the universities; but wouldn't it be sick if students coming out of high school could be like, "I want to go to this school because of the skate club there." OR "..because of their skatepark on campus." OR "...because of the skateboarding scholarship they offer." OR simply "...because of the people that skate there and the good vibes."
If your school does not have a skateboard organization, START ONE, get money from your school, and make something happen.
Invest in skateboarding.

The revolution might be televised...

Untitled from Wolf TV on Vimeo.


This is a video that has been playing on WolfTV, NC State's local TV station. It is from our Cystic Fibrosis Benefit Contest back in October, which was a huge success. 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?
