The 2022 CCS Invitational at the Lil Carwash presented by Converse CONS

On August 21st, 2022, some of the most celebrated skateboarders of the past, present, and future converged at CCS headquarters in Portland, Oregon to chop it up and throw it down on a loading-dock-sized recreation of the legendary Sunset Carwash spot and then a slightly used LeBaron convertible.

100 Kickflips In the Nike SB x Polaroid Dunk Low – CCS

Since 100 Kickflips are so easy for Matt CCS decided to add another task on top of them and have him shoot Polaroid portraits of different friends he ran into through out the day. Lucky for you he ran into some really good friends.
