12th Annual Clash of the Crews presented by Vans

Posted on on Monday, December 04, 2017 by Chris

Clash of the Crews is a Southeastern shop vs. shop contest where each shop skates in a jam with four of their riders, plus one optional owner/TM. Skaters are scored individually, and the top three scores from skaters in your jam count for your shop's final score. The top six shops then advance to the Finals which are head to head bracket format to determine the final winning crew!

Boards For Bros

Boards For Bros will have a tent set up at this event, so if you have any old boards that aren't broken, or even skateboard parts, come by and say hey to Michelle. She'll take your donations that will help with our Boards For Bros Give Day later on this year. You can also win cool stuff when you donate! For more info about Boards For Bros, go to Boards4Bros.org.
