Be down for the cause!  Savannah Skates and Woodys have teamed up to show our support for the Savannah Skateboarding community which the city itself seems to forget about.  But who gives a shit, if no one wants to notice thats fine, but how are they gonna miss it when its right in front of their face on the biggest day in Savannah.  Lace up your boots, and push through the streets.  Thanks to Fabio from Woodys for doin it legit and getting a permit and a float spot in the parade.

Spot Research!

January 22nd, 2010 · 3 Comments · News

With the stage thing in Forsyth being a confirmed insta-bust (time will tell), we can turn our eyes to what’s being built in the middle of city market.  It seems to be full of ledges galore and a few small sets of stairs to get creative with.  While our running errands this afternoon, I brought my camera to take some photos to get your skater imagination going.

West Side Wall Ride

August 31st, 2009 · 5 Comments · News, Skateboarding

I know its been a while since an update on the spotmap but I was watching Matt’s edit for YOUnited nations (once we know we won’t get disqualified it’ll be online) and I saw him doing this sick wallride (way better than mine), I just assumed it was in Tampa.  Turns out it’s in Savannah and its pretty dope.  Click the image above to watch a short clip of our sesh, then after that check out the SPOT MAP, go there and show us up!  Filmed by: Aaron Lynton.  Edited by: Matt Duvall

We’re a Democracy

August 29th, 2009 · 11 Comments · News

At Savannah Skates we’re here for the people, no dictatorship  bullshit. We’ve been having mixed opinions on the new section:  “Lurk Daddy Fahie and Kids that Rip” We honestly created the section because of a couple of things.  One we wanted to expose kids from Savannah who don’t know about every ridiculously good skater out there.  Two because it created a buffer for us in  between updates.    Sometimes its hard, especially with alot of people moving and stuff to get together a montage.  That being said I wanted to put the choice in your hands, cuz after all its your site.  So give us your opinion and if you can, suggest some ideas you might have that would keep Savannah Skates fresh and worth visiting…put it in the comments.  Also I desperately need to rework the footy upload section because that shit takes forever to upload anything.. any php programmers out there??

Should Savannah Skates continue featuring one skater a week that isn't from Savannah?

SavannahSkates YOUnited Nations

July 26th, 2009 · No Comments · News

younitednations

Savannah Skates is hip, we’re up with the times, we know about  YOUnited Nations and all that cool stuff.   We know everyone has their own crew of homies that they skate with and thats awesome.  What we want to do is invite everyone to unite as one crew and put together the best montage we can for YOUnited nations. Essentially if you rep Savannah and you skate that cobblestone like its your job…your in.  For those of you who don’t know Matt Duvall,  He is a film and editing master as well as a rainbow enthusiast.   Check out his Skateboarding work: Matt Duvall Skateboarding Portfolio. He came up with the idea to setup an online folder for anyone to submit footage too.  We’re not talking cell phone footy, we want the best you got…but that doesn’t mean just tricks and 20-stair bangers.  Submit anything that you feel represents Savannah’s skateboarding scene.    Once we got a bunch of footage Matt has offered his services to make a super edit that we’ll submit to YOUnited Nations and put up on SavannahSkates.  You can access the online upload HERE or in the featured section to your right.  Hopefully we make this happen!   So get to it!!
