AGENDA

If you’re in the Long Beach area you should definitely make sure to check out the Agenda Trade Show!!  Dope company’s like Eswic, Almost, Blood Wizard, Chrome, Dickies, FTC, MИШКА, Poler, SE Bikes, Sitka, and Vans are a very short list of who will be in attendance.    

“About the Show:
The Agenda Trade Show is a forum for the most inspired in the streetwear and action sports industries to unite. Lines speak for themselves and buyers are not intimidated by the usual overwhelming tradeshow experience. From the garage-run lines on the verge of explosion, to the well-established elite, Agenda caters to the needs of buyers and brands that exist on a higher level of design and aesthetic. With a strong emphasis in style, art, music and culture, the Agenda experience is as much a lesson as it is a tool.” – Agenda

Folly Nash Trip

If you follow our Instagram (@createfolly) then you already know all about the sweet Nashville trip that took place on Saturday.  Below is a little insight to the adventure that took place.

Couldn’t have started the day any better than with some amazing coffee, chill tunes and putting several orders together for Folly friends local and afar.   

Got out to Nashville about 2:30 with epic heat baking us from the moment Chase, Conner, Matt and I set foot out of the car.  On the upside of things, there wasn’t a lot of people out so we had full run of the park.  Low and behold, I find one of our Folly “High 4 1/2” stickers successfully stuck.  Obviously I was pumped about that and proceeded to thrash!  Nashville got some Folly love!! 

We got some good footage at the park then head to the local watering hole (aka Mapco) to grab up some liquid refreshment.  Matt couldn’t find his wallet, so all the boards had to go so we could sift through the mound of bags we had.

One of the ice cold refreshments just so happened to be placed in this brown paper sack.  I’ll refer to it as the “mystery beverage”.  It was refreshing to say the least.

After the watering hole, we head up to Sixth Ave to pick up some of our Folly friends to thrash downtown Nashville.  While we were waiting for a spot to clear up, a little Chrome Yalta mini sesh took place.  Muchos funos.  Where we wanted to skate never cleared up so we headed out to a local taco restauranta.

And here we have good ol’ Conner Warhurst (aka Cornhole Wallburst).  This dude not only is rocking the Ride x Create vibe, he’s a damn fine videographer!  He had a wicked heal bruise, so no skating for him unfortunately.  As I’m sure you know, being around a lot of sweet spots and not being able to partake in the action sucks.  Conner had a good spirit about it and dominated some sweet footage all day. Well done sir!

Chase getting cray on this stair set.  Chase, Matt, and other Folly friends we picked up along the way were dominating this spot.  Footage to come later.

This would be Christian.  Unbeknownst to me, he was super hesitant to hit this rail even though he could totally kill it.  He wasn’t feeling it and complained about his height being an issue.  Solution… auto stretching procedures commenced.

Case in point, Christian dominates.  Lipslide FTW! (don’t know who took this photo.  It’s on Christian’s FB page.)

A good bit of other shenanigans took place throughout the day.  We ended up back at the park we started at to get a couple more lines in with the “cool” night air.  Matt and I enjoyed more “mystery beverage” and reminisced about what an epic day it was.

Empire Skate – Episode 1 from Capture.Share.Repeat. on Vimeo.

I know we promote a lot of pro skating, BMX, FGFS and riding in general; but at the end of the day it’s all about feeling the Ride x Create vibe. Empire Skate has a chill vibe that I dig.  Well done Mr. Evearitt and Mr. Jacobs!!  I’m looking forward to following the Empire Skate series.  Go ride the city, town, rural area and create something today Folly friends.

“For the love of skateboarding! “Empire Skate” series combines our love of skating and filming while getting exploring the greater NYC area in search of concrete delights. For our first episode we hop off at Chinatown to hit up the new LES Skatepark then took it to the streets down by the waterfront. We hope to expand on this series with new spots, skaters, and events.” -Greg J
