    This guy had a quickdraw entry! He posted his 1 day after the contest started. He did a noseslide on a waist-high flatbar inside of Greece university, in Loannina City!

    Isn't it crazy how all the walls are grafittied? I asked him about that, assuming it was some kind of abandoned building... with the lights on? He said :

    At first I'm sure everyone thought he was going to ollie off the bench to hit the rail but NO... he does it from flat and THAT is sick as hell! TOTALLY RAD!

Steemskate enthusiast @stickchumpion comes through for an awesome entry this week as well. He makes it out to what looks like an awesome indoor park to film some lines for the flatbar challenge!

His video length is 4:20... what a nice time.
He actually does 3 lines in this video... only one can be entered in the contest but it's great to see all the footage... He does:

>boardslide the flatbar then a half cab noseslide
boardslide the flatbar then a half cab manual
nollie lipslide the flatbar then a half cab noseslide (just out of shot a kickflip)

Steemskate headquarters were most impressed with the half-cab manual he did after the boardslide. But thats not really a flatbar trick. So we have to judge him on the NOLLIE LIPSLIDE!

Both @stickchumpion and @nicolcron expressed that flatbars were NOT thier forte, which only makes it more badass that they went out to shred them anyway.
This entry is NO JOKE. This dude goes out in the sopping wet rain to get his clip for steemskate. OUT OF THIS WORLD. What a psycho! So sick!

He goes to the nearby outdoor skatepark and impulsively decides to NOLLIE BACKTAIL the flatbar.

He gives the rail a little smooch and is on his way! Challenge accomplished! So much heart and soul from all the way across the pond!

The contest post only made 2 bucks! Who cares! KEEP SHREDDING! I don't blame you guys for not wanting to go out and skate in the cold. Lets keep our sights on the future of steemskate this summer!

Its amazing how far away we are from each other on the earth but can still come together to shred like we live in the same town! 2 entries from the United Kingdom and 1 from Greece! Unreal!!

It takes so much motivation to go out and skate during winter. I would have never in a million years tried to go skate with 3 feet of snow on the ground like I did. And @nicolcron going out, getting his board wet for a steemskate clip!? that was just too rad. @stickchumpion I look forward to meeting up with you in Chicago and talking about the future of steemskate! @hazylogic WE ARE WATCHING YOU, you better submit to the STEEMSKATE sooner or later. Oh! and @snaildpe we know you shred so we want you to contribute too!

@nicolcron commented on my Week 2 entry saying that it is actually good luck to have a pigeon shit on your grip! That got my hyped for week 3! Get ready ! week 3 will be announced soon!

It's gonna b awesome to see the results of these entries as well! Alright amigos! Adios! and THANK YOU to everyone who supports steemskate! I will try harder next week to get whales to upvote the contest post! you guys should try too lol.

I almost got @fyrstikken to sponsor the contest he is a huge wale but he said he has to be entertained by it. He wants to see people ollieing off buildings and shit lol. There is another whale @surfyogi who might be into it as well but Its hard to tell. We have to show them there is a reason to attract skateboarders to steemit!

The problem is, we are all broke ass skateboarders lol. But I think that in time, as more and more entries get submitted and people's steem power grows, this community will grow like a plant, slow at first but it will become very lush! And people will be able to transmute their GNAR into crypto in no time!

Thanks broo.
Already hyped for week 3

That noseslide g. I knew you we're winning this week!

Thanks bro.Let's all enter next week.

So cool! Those entries are rad! I've just started skating. Do you think there's a way of creating a beginners contest? I'm not sure how you'd run it but it'd be so cool, something I'd love to enter.

yea i think next contest is going to be something super open ended . i think week 3 is going to be like “Rotate” ... so you can interpret the theme however you want like rotate your wheels? rotate the board... rotate your body

Oh nice, I'll definitely look out for that and try to think of something for it!

hey..good post..thanks for sharing..
