102 Skateboard Tricks In A Row By Ryan Lay – CCS

When we were recently hanging out with CCS pro, Ryan Lay, we were watching him do these marathon lines at his local park where he would lane 30-40 tricks in a row. After some ridiculous brainstorming, Ryan was confident that he may be able to do 100 tricks in a row without getting off his board. Of course we called him on this claim and demanded him to make it a reality. Literally two days later he sent us this clip. A 15 minute nonstop single line with 102 tricks in it. To make it harder he tried not to repeat any tricks on any obstacles. What a psycho! If you wanna be a psycho too, we recommend picking up his pro model skateboard from Welcome at CCS.com. You will not regret it! – CCS

The Making of Moat Water Beer and Skateboard Decks

On Saturday, January 19th, 2012 at 6pm, we held the Moat Water 20 Year Anniversary Deck Release Party at SPoT Ybor (R.I.P.) and The Bricks. These boards were created through a unique partnership involving Tampa, Florida natives Cigar City Brewing, Skatepark of Tampa, and PS Stix, along with a graphic designed by skateboarding legend Lance Mountain. The center ply was brewed in the aging process to produce SPoT’s exclusive 20th Anniversary beer, “Moat Water,” prior to PS Stix inserting it into these decks. It’s a collaboration that represents quality, a vested interest in the Tampa community, and most importantly, the love of skateboarding. Check the full story in this video. We had 50 of these available for purchase at the Release Party with a limit of one per customer and they sold out quickly.
