  6. 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.

  9. 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.

    March 15, 2010 by Micah Stancil

    Today I had the chance to meet two young boys thats a part of  the Children’s Security Blanket family.

    The Children’s Security Blanket provides financial and emotional support to families of children

    with cancer or other life threatening illnesses in Spartanburg County by assisting with lodging, food

    and transportation costs incurred during treatment. Im a father of three and I cant imagine what it

    must be like for these families to go through this with there children.  I want to say thank you to

    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

    now they are helping and caring for 56 families in Spartanburg Co. Keep it coming guys and  please

    contact me with any questions you may have.
