  3. Gatorade Free Flow Riders Continue to Rise Above

    March 26, 2010 by Micah Stancil

    Clay Kreiner, last year’s skateboarding vert winner of the Gatorade Free Flow Tour,

    finished second overall in the Florida Bowl Riders Cup last weekend. On the first

    day of the event at a secret location that featured a capsule pool connected to round

    bowl with brick coping, Clay ripped his way to a second place finish just behind fellow

    Gatorade Free Flow rider Dalton Dern, who recently placed fifth at the Tampa Am Vert

    Contest. On the second day of competition Clay once again skated to another second

    place finish in the Kona Bowl at the famous Kona Skatepark.

  6. Clay Kreiner words and photos from the Tampa crew.

    March 17, 2010 by Micah Stancil

    When Clay Kreiner checked in, he was wearing a funny

    looking hat like a baby Tyler Hendley. I expected he might

    be taking part in the kickturn contest on the vert ramp. After

    just a couple runs of seeing him skate, I was instantly reminded

    of Danny Way’s barging onto the vert scene in his decades old

    part in Ban This. Clay’s got a little bit of that style. He’s not quite

    there with the super hard tricks yet, but he’s looking damn good

    on the U for sure.

    Clay Kreiner’s airs like this contributed to my recollection of

    Danny’s Ban This part. Now if he did varial into this and cracked

    a back d, he would be on Frazier’s level.

    Clay is looking good on ever wall. Now smack it to frontside

    disaster and revert it like Frazier.

    Big thanks to the Tampa crew! See you guys at Damn Am.

    everyone that has stepped up to the plate so far and has either donated there time, money or product.

    Also big thanks to Security Blanket for taken on the responsibility of caring for these families.  Right

  8. The Gene Stancil Skate For Cancer Benefit Contest

    March 13, 2010 by Micah Stancil

    Ever since my grandfather passed away with cancer I’ve wanted to do a benefit contest in his name.  On April 24, 2010 (rain date May 8th) The Coalition for Active Youth, and myself,  is partnering with Spartanburg Regional Foundation to put on a Skateboard  Benefit and Competition to help Children’s Security Blanket, a local non-profit organization which helps kids and their families with cancer. The Gene Stancil Skate For Cancer Benefit will be an all day event at the new Hot Spot Skate Park in Spartanburg, SC.  Skateboard contests, food, raffles , live music, and cash prizes will be offered to attract top skaters from the region.  Our major sponsor is Spartanburg Regional Foundation and Spartanburg Regional Hospital.  We are looking for more sponsors so if anyone would like to help sponsor the event or make a donation, you may email me at Celticsk8boards@aol.com for more information.  I’m working on the flyer now and will post it sometime this week with full details on the contest and prize money, but for now here’s a little information on the kids we’re helping.  Thanks to everyone in advance who plans on coming out and making this event successful.

    These are just two of many children we have an opportunity to help through Children’s Security Blanket:

    Tron Foster -  age 7 – bone cancer–lost half a femur and knee joint.   He is really outgoing and anyone who meets this young Super Hero will feel good.  He is in the first grade at Boiling Springs elementary.

    James Campbell -  age 9 – eye cancer James was diagnosed when he was four years old.  He loves to play baseball and made all star last year with one eye.  He lives in Lyman, SC.
