ALRIGHT EVERYONE we are moving forward on steemskate after last weeks contest was a huge success! No turning back now! We started a movement! Lets keep the momentum moving!

OK! this week's contest is going to have a specific challenge! For Week 2, the challenge is.....

Flat Bar

Skate a flat bar. not a handrail, just a rail that is flat, that goes parallel to the ground:

If you own your own little flatbar like I used to when I was a kid, you can choose to skate that too.

They are commonly found at skateparks. Its still winter. its like 10 degrees in chicago tonight. I wanted the next week to be "GAP" but skating a gap when its super cold out is no fun. At least when its cold rails slide easier.

Of course street spots are way cooler than a skatepark rail. examples are:

You can try to get creative with it too. think metal....flat.... something you could slide or grind on.... OR you could do a trick over a flat bar, or UNDER the flat bar.... it just has to involve the use of a flat bar in some way.

Only skateboarders see the world's terrain as art. Skatespots are art, and when skateboarders transform the physical space around them by utilizing the terrain in profound way, SKATEBOARDING is created!

The top of the back of this bench would also be a flatbar.

Well what do you guys think?
Are you ready?
Last week we had 3 legit submissions, and 5 submissions total.
They ALL got a prize!

I think flatbar is good suggestion from @hazylogic for this week. You can find flat bars in all shapes and sizes. Hunting for a flatbar can be fun and rewarding too!

Alright you guys (and gals) get HYPED for week # TWO of STEEM SKATE!
