RED BULL MANNY MANIA event rolled through. Not only was it in town, it was on the block called Camden. (Hometown Professional Skateboarder OJ Farrar)
Mountain Dew skateboarder Paul Rodriguez and legendary skate artist Don Pendleton worked together to create their own signature can for Mountain Dew. Then inspired 35 skate shops across the country to design their own Dew can in a contest that just launched called the Mountain Dew Green Label Art Shop Series. Black Sheep was 1 of the 35 shops nationally selected to participate in this contest.
The 35 shops have been divided into 7 different regions. The shop with the most votes in each region will advance to the final round of 7 cans and make it one step closer to being made and distributed nationally. Black Sheep is listed in the Mid Atlantic region.
Please go to www.greenlabelart.com and vote for the Black Sheep entry. Help us get to the finals by voting for our can and you’ll also be entered in weekly drawings for tons of cool limited edition gear, prizes and trips.
Regional voting ends September 9 at 2:59pm and each registration is allowed 7 votes per day.
Let’s show these guys what’s up with Charlotte and put this thing on the map! We need you to vote daily — you get 7 votes per day. This is a marathon not a sprint and we need your help to make the finals. Show your love and get clickin!!! Click Here To Vote!!
"The Flowlab Skateboard allows you to surf without waves and ride with snow." Unlike a regular skateboard, the Flowboard has 14 wheels, which gives them a handling similar to a snowboard. A regular skateboard, which can lean up to 25 degrees, the Flowboard - allow you to carve at 45 degrees, using 14 wheels rather then the traditional 4. It looks cool, watch the video of it in action. Designed by Mike Simonian in collaboration with Pieter Schoten, a couple of San Francisco design students looking for a way to skate down the city’s steep hillsides. You can buy the flowboard from here(Sport Technology) for about $80. find out more here
