STEEMSKATE WEEK 8 RESULTS! See who skated on the blockchain in our 8th installment of #steemskate
@nicolcron and @stickchumpion TEAM UP to bring us their second skate session and the FIRST collaborative STEEMSKATE team video! They head to @nicolcron's under the bridge DIY spot and stickchumpion blows the spot out of the water! Watch the fuck out boys @stickchumpion is on a rampage. But wait, this is @nicolcron's post, I musn't forget to attribute the incredible editing of the video.
Such a pleasure @nicolcron, we are so thankful to have you on steemit. I could write the whole post up about this video but I will leave you with these screen shots. That wallie was sick. That baskside bigspin was also very very well done. Those party clips at the end on the quarter pipe where they both get tricks back to back is WHATSUP!
Go watch the video. So much fun. @stickchumpion's song is so good too. @web-gnar is Beyond hyped, on this.

@Nicksmitley has been working HARD on @stickchumpion's callyouout challenge. He was assigned a backside flip, which is a super hard trick to learn. He skipped last weeks steemskate because of the struggle, by which only a skateboarder knows the true nature of. To quote Jerry Seinfeld:
To be a skateboarder is something extraordinary. In the future, putting "skateboarder" on your work resume will be highly valued.
@nicksmitley adds one of his skate homies to steemit who really helps make his video this week shine because of the filming.
A nice frontside boneless on the quarterpipe. You can hear how bad the pavement at that skatepark is. Unreal. But it looks like they skate gods blessed them with a beautiful Indiana day indeed.
Back 2 back he nails 2 backside flips one after another fueled by the desire to push oneself to the limits!!
Go watch his video:
Having never missed a week, @Knowhow92 is back with a solid line from his training facility in Greece. He does a long line. That looks like such a fun park.
Wow. Knowhow is a powerhouse. Frontside 5-0, nollie backside 180, fakie full cab, switch front 5050 switch 180 out!?, 360 flip, and then kickflips Up a 3 stair. a SIX TRICK LINE!!! HOLY STEEMSMACKS, thats a bangin'!
@knowhow is a beast.
@brocksart
YES! @brocksart is back!!! Welcome mon! @brocksart embodies the nerd-skater. The fusion of the nerd with the skateboarder is what we need here on steemskate! When he is not designing cool video game themed grip tape hes out there shredding.
His first clip for this week's entry is a totally awesome layback 180-nosegrind stalefish down a 9 stair hubba ledge!
And then... he tries his luck with some kind of no comply sproing trick resulting in him breaking the nose of his skateboard. (the board does a 180 so it looks like hes breaking off the tail but really thats the front of his board)
OooF!
Oh well... its all part of the gamble of trying tricks off drops. Gravity sometimes says "Yuck Fou!"
Now I have seen some photos of massive airs that @brocksart has done. You will see him in his video wearing full pads. That is because @brocksart is a tranny dog. He knows how to skate transition, and I think if we are lucky he will get some clips this summer, of him exhibiting those skills here on steemskate.

@stickchumpion re-ups on this weeks event by creating his own entry, a boss move. He has created a new trick list for himself.
The locals pissed him off screwing with his solo skate session. But boy does he come through on the #callyouout challenge. @web-gnar had to be critical of his first 360 flip because it was sketchy as all hell. @stickchumpion comes through hard with a superb rendition of a 360 flip.
He has updated the group #callyouout, so if you need a reason to go out and exercise whilst learning a badass skateboard maneuver, here it is:
@alexjay
A NEW CONTENDER! Everyone on steemit, welcome @alexjay, from Greece!
He skates the same park as @knowhow92, you know, that park with tons of space for you to push around and get long lines. So thats what he does! He has a nice bag of tricks, backside 5-0, 360 flip, and a MASSIVE pop-shuvit off the launch ramp!
Thats the best screen shot I could get with the iphone-in-the-dark footage. Thanks for skating with us @alexjay!
And the winner is....
Congratulations! You will be sent SBD from @web-gnar and @alexjay will be sent 1 SBD for being a first time contender!
Thanks to everyone who participated this week! Keep in mind, if you want GIFs of your tricks in these write ups, include a youtube upload for me to work with. Also, when posting your entry in the comments section of the event page, past the STEEMIT.COM link, not the direct d-tube link. It makes it easier for me to comment ect.
