Rain Skate

Its been raining alot here in Houston for the past week or so and it looks like it will continue to keep raining for yet another week. It sucks. Makes everything slick and no one really knows what to do because rain skating isnt a huge thing around these parts.

Get over yourselves.

Rain skating is super sick and it can really impress the beginner skaters when they see you throw a monster standie because you have so much less traction fighting against your wheels. Consider is a step into tech sliding.

The link posted above has some sick talk about Eastside rain wheels. A few friends of mine have used them before and they are actually pretty cool. You can either buy rain wheels or make them out of any old wheel that you might have laying around.

Texas Long Haul 2012 is getting closer and I just wanted to do a shout out to all the companies that have sent their care packages and support thus far.

Special Thanks to Loaded, Orangatang, Southside Skateshop, Randal Trucks, and Sector 9.

I am sure to be getting more gear and goodies in for my riders but those companies are in a hurry to show that Texas is the new skate scene. Endless.

2012 Review

Everyone has their Christmas money, right? Go to your local Carve Skate Shop if you live in Houston or Austin, otherwose go to any non Zumiez skate shop and buy new gear! Start the new year off right and be ready to shred it.

Recap on new years day: we had the Dam DH race at Mansfield Dam on new years day. Gnar turnout and some amazing heats. Sadly I got speed wobs and wrecked so I didnt get very far as it was single elimination. Boo. Brian Cortright got first, followed by Dustin Dixon and Zac Sharp. One hell of a race.

Till later, shred on.
