Last evening was the premiere of the 2012 nebraska shop video contest, put on by bay 198 and skate for change. 8 shops were allowed 3 after hour sessions at the bay and had a limited amount of time to edit and turn in their results. No rules except for a 5 minute time limit. The premiere was a great success and spoke great things for the scene and state of NE skateboarding.

Below is our official entry. stay tuned to skatehive for additional coverage and other entries.

Saturday, Oct 2, 2010
Saddle Creek Records Complex (14th and Cuming St. Omaha, NE. Behind Slowdown and Film Streams)

Division: Advanced/Sponsored only (because of the time frame, we have to limit divisions. People not competing are still welcome to roll around during Open Skate.)
It’s a best 2 trick line: 4′ stage with 8 stairs coming off with a rail. and then a bump to manual pad/ledge.

I will be one of a couple judges at the contest. Dave from secret penguin is doing an amazing job in coordinating all of this, but dont blame him for the “extreme” logo. The event is going to be great, the music fantastic, and there will be no snowboard jumps or guitar hero involved.

Hope to see you all there!

Very awesome of RED BULL to support local skateboarding.

1st: $500
