Rollerblading contests are about a lot more than just rollerblading. Many of the people are there for the entertainment and fellowship with others alike.
Not every trick is landed and the audience is a big part of what made Pow-wow VII such a success.
Hats off to all the competitors for all your hard work and to the crowd for baking in that humid sunshine and standing loud when someone earned the cheers. The trip was nothing but successful and SS was glad to be part of it. I hope this one makes you smile as much as it does us. – SS.
We piled deep in the van, volvo, and civic to power blast down to Florida to the 7th annual Panhandle Pow-Wow. We arrived to piss pouring rain and a flooded skatepark.
We were able to enjoy quite the fellowship with all of the buds, both new and old. A few of us even managed to squeeze is the first official pow wow bond fire on Saturday night where we joined The Shred crew, Blake Taylor, other southern neighbors and local Florida heads building a large flame in the rain.
Topping the night off with the splitting of the winners beer. Sunday sunshine prevailed and the contest still managed to happen. Here is the some of the skating that was not missed.
Sorry for missing some of those hammers doods. Blame it on the rain. To everyone who bought SS merch, wear that shit with pride! We are SS, We Are Rising.
As you already know, Chris Smith, Carson Starnes, and Chad Anthony made a mini tour out of a trip to Texas to kick start a spring/summer of traveling the south and promoting the company.
Monster energy coffee drinks just so happen to be the fuel that kept us alive on the way home. After a few tall boys and hours of boredom this little gem was created out of some of the extra footage we managed to obtain.
Southernscum is growing and we are proud to know that the gentlemen featured in this edit have got it’s back. At this point it seems to be a little obvious that The South Will most definitely RISE AGAIN.
Featuring Cody Sanders, Anthony Medina, Logan Dench, Jared Banning, Fritz Peitzner, TK, Keaton Newsom, Andrew Broom, Carson Starnes, Chad Anthony & Chris Smith.
First stop, Texas. We spent a week in Dallas and Austin hanging with the locals and skating some sweet spots. Here is some footage from that trip, edited by Chris Smith. Next stop North Carolina.

Southern Scum would like to welcome Sam Moore to the family.
Sam has been creeping his way up the talent ladder for quite sometime now. Upon filming for an ender he broke his ankle.
We’d like to wish him a fast recovery. More than anything, we’d like to welcome him to the family. We are proudly present to you a true southern gentlemen, Sam Moore.
Carson Starnes has been down for the SS for quite a bit now. His blading is what we like to consider a hidden gem. It is very rare to see him doing the typical tricks.
If it is not one of the most creative ways to use his skates, it is a classic hammer that usually leaves the observers jaw dropped.
He is a very talented gentlemen and brings an awful lot of talent and charisma to the pack.
You will be able to see alot of coverage of him this season with some random appearances in the new Razors Dvd and a side project with 285source.
We at SS are proud to have Carson as part of the family and wish nothing but the best for him, his blading, and future. Here is a small rendention of what classy blading looks like. Hats off to you Carson. Bark at the moon.
Most people who don’t know Phil Gripper can be pretty scared of the dude. He skates really hard, plays the drums really hard, and is swole as all hell.
But The Grip is one of the nicest and most honest guys you could ever possibly meet.
Phil worked his ass off for this section and still wanted to get more. He’s a true friend and hard worker, which is why filming with him is always such a pleasure. -Stefan Brandow.
Zach Leavell is a local young gun here in Nashville, Tn. The clips used in this little banger were ransoms we snatched out of the used vault.
Though he might be a tad younger, this kid has already got a lot going on in life. We at SS are glad to have him around and know that he may still have some shit to learn about life and blading, he is already 10 years ahead of the game.
Expect to see a lot more of this movie quoting, rambunctious, bundle of joy in the future. If these recycled clips get you going just wait until you see this turds new deals.
