A.Skate Contest part 1

Marsh Creek Spring Jam 2012 from Rob Russell on Vimeo.

This video is from the park and bowl jam sessions at our NC Skate benefit contest for A.Skate, autism foundation. The contest was a huge success. Thanks to all of our sponsors and guest judges. The bowl contest was epic, so look for one again real soon. Next time it'll will be even bigger. 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.

A.Skate Contest part 2

This video is from the street best trick street section at our NC Skate benefit contest for A.Skate, autism foundation. The contest was a huge success. The best tricks went to Will Smith with noseslide 270 shuv and Ben Gold, taking gold, with the buttery smooth tres... dropping one right into a 50-50 down the hubba to boot.

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?
