Nate Guest
Maui, Hawaii
Rummaging through the Sponsor Me vids this month, I came across this one from Nate Guest from Maui, Hawaii. I popped the tape into the VCR and was stoked to see him ripping! Nate looks pretty young, so I was surprised to see that he has a really good style for his age. He also lives in Hawaii, so he doesn’t have the luxury of being able to travel around very far to skate a lot of spots. Nate skates some pretty rugged places, which is probably because there aren’t very many spots on Maui. Sometimes, you just have to take what you can get. Nate has a good balance of tricks in his vid, as we watch him skating rails, gaps, ledges and manuals pads. The only criticism I have is that Nate skates a little slow. That’s something that will improve as he grows and stays in the game a little longer. I can definitely see potential in Nate’s skating. Thanks for taking the time put this video together and sending it in. Keep the footage coming, Nate! You just earned yourself a free pair of Emerica shoes! —Jeff Henderson
This past weekend, Emerica pros Andrew Reynolds, Leo Romero, Kevin "Spanky" Long and ams Brandon Westgate and Braydon Szafranski hit up spots all around Los Angeles. Atiba Jefferson hooked up with the crew to shoot photos for The Skateboard Mag.
Baker Skateboards’ long-awaited Baker 3 video premiered last night at The Vine Theater in Hollywood, California to a throng of anxious Kids, some of whom camped out overnight in front of the theatre to try to get a wristband to get in! The crowd that had been hanging out and waiting all day grew bigger, and once they started letting people into the theater, it got a bit crazy. A window got broken out and the police were on hand to “calm things down,” but most of the crowd eventually got in to see the first showing.
Ah, yes! It’s time to announce the winner of the recent Erik Ellington Trivia Contest we held here on the Emerica Web site! Congratulations to Aaron S. of Torrance, California, who gets a complete Baker Ellington skateboard (graphics pictured below) and one pair of Ellington 2 shoes. Thanks to everyone for entering the contest and to Baker for supplying the board!
