Origin Skateboarding

Clay is just getting back from spending two weeks in CA.  Clay recived

invites to both X- Games and Maloof Money cup so it was two solid

weeks of skating. First stop was X- Games where Clay made the finials

and ended up finishing 5th overall.  Maloof was crazy not only did you

have to skate the Vert Ramp but you also had to skate the Mini Mega Ramp.

It was really rad to see Clay blasting 360’s over the gap and then 540’s on the 16

foot quarter pipe. There’s know doubt he will be skating the mega ramp in the near

future. Clay made the finials at Maloof also and ended up finishing 4th overall.

Way to go Clay Im stoked for you great job!

Clay Kreiner  good luck at X-Games this week. He leaves for CA Tuesday and will skate this

weekend. Now for past events. Congrats to Austin, Jackson, John and Malik for finishing in

the top 5 at the Vans Warp Tour Mini Ramp Contest in Charlotte NC. Kyle Register also skated the

Vans Warp Tour in Atlanta GA and took 3rd place there. Nice job guys way to represent. Mike V

rolled in to town yesterday for the Glory Road tour and put on a best trick jam before the Demo.

The team took 1st John, 2nd Jackson and 3rd Chris in the contest and was invited to skate in the demo

with Mike.  I have a lot to be stoked about right now. The teams skating great, product is moving just

sent somethings out to Finland to the MicMac crew who is now stocking there stores and building there

completes with Origin Trucks. Im going to start working on building the team pages this week if I can find

some spare time. Its long over due for me to get this site finished.  So keep checking back on the team pages

and heres a few videos to check out in the mean time.

Well its been a while since my last post. Ive been crazy busy the past couple of months.

Id like to start out by saying thanks to everyone who came out and supported the

Gene Stancil Skate For Cancer Benefit. It was a great event and in the end we raised

$7,500 for the Security Blanket. The contest was great Id like to give a big congrates

to Solomon Mosley for taking First Place in the open class. Also in the finials was team

riders Jace Cooney, Richard Wooten, and Zach Gillspey.  Also there was a couple of

locale money contest this past month in the Charlotte NC, area. First was the Cinder

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.

Clay Bowl Riders

Well another great year at bowl riders. Day 1 back yard bowl had a team rider make finials

in all three classes. Austin Cresman in Groms, Clay Kreiner in Am and Benji Galloway in the

Pro’s.  Austin ended up 5th, Clay 2nd and Benji finished out in 4th. Benji wasnt feeling well

and ended up not skating at Kona on day two.  Day 2 kona bowl again Austin and Clay both

made finials. Austin finished 6th and Clay once again finished 2nd. Big congrates two both

of you its really tuff to go down to FL and finish where you did in there back yard. After it

was all said and done Clay took 2nd place over all in the Am division and Austin took

5th over all in the grom. Heres a few pictures  for the contest.

Heres a little footage I ran across from the vert contest.

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.

Just want to give Celtic and Origin Pro Juho Liesmaki a big congrates on his

recent bowl win and for being picked up by mic mac clothing and  Fallen Footwear.
