For the Love of Skateboarding
Welcome to SLS Games, a very serious competition.
This is a two team, three versus three competition, where skill and passion are put to the test through four rounds. Each round is worth a 2 second (total of 6 seconds up for grabs) head start which applies to the final round.
Round One: DECATHLON
Round Two: GAME OF OUT
Round Three: THE STAIR DOWN
Final: THE RELAY
Team KOSTON: Eric Koston, Ishod Wair & Kevin Bradley
Team SHANE: Shane O’Neill, Carlos Ribeiro & Robert Neal
We Stop And Chat with Ishod Wair to discuss skating a symmetrical board, why he thought he couldn’t skate anymore, his recent ear infection, giving product to kids, being on time to a skate session, kids asking him to follow them on Instagram, switch crooks on the Oakland Courthouse out ledge, the difference between round and square rails and much more!
Street skating has been outlawed during California’s stay-at-home orders, but what’s new! So Nyjah Huston invited Monster Energy to Crush this Quarantine at his private indoor street park with a couple fellow team riders, Ishod Wair and Matt Berger.
Whenever the REAL squad cruises through SF a day across the bridge to skate the East Bay is always on the list. While filming for BE FREE, Ishod Wair and Kyle Walker gave the Courthouse a heavy one, two punch (that ended up being Ishod’s ender), and then took it to the Cleveland School 12 Set for a heated session with Zion Wright and the crew.
While filming for BE FREE, Ishod and Kyle had a few spots in mind out in Minnesota, which is REAL filmer Tim Fulton’s old stomping grounds. A quick weekend trip, in and out, to handle business… Chima’s in town and down to roll… let’s go! The shout-out to James Hardy and Justin Brock sealed the deal…

On the first filming trip for the BE FREE video, the REAL crew headed through the bay area, and the Vallejo rails were on the top of the ‘must-skate’ list. See everything that happened behind the scenes and some unseen footage… Ishod and Zion handled business!

Robert Neal, Theotis Beasley, Ishod Wair and Kyle Wilson in H-Town for the SB Dunk Low by Travis Scott.
Winning a contest and doing miles in the van are two different skill sets, and whether you’re out for gold or pulling back cold gold, it’s all just skateboarding with your friends in the end. No mailbox, gas station, park or airport is safe when you put this crew together and hit the road in the lead up to Tokyo. From Texas to Toronto, featuring Yuto Horigome, Grant Taylor, Nyjah Huston, Ishod Wair, Hayley Wilson, Donovon Piscopo and Nicole Hause. Round 2 coming soon.
