It’s been a minute, but yes wakeskate is still alive and kicking, or kick flipping we should say. Case in point is Nike 6.0’s latest endeavor for the sport: the “Retention” Pro/Am invitational in Nahunta, Georgia. Watch the rad recap video from the six man finale above. Sick!

Nike 6.0 worked with four artists Jonathan Gray, Ben Jones, Michael Leon and Brent Rollins, to create a limited edition t-shirt and Braata LR Mid Premium shoe.

More looks of the collabs over at Highsnobiety.

Last up in Nike’s “Chosen” trailers is the 6.0 Snowboarding edit. Mason Aguirre, Peetu Piiroinen, Louie Vito, and Greg Bretz take the stage on June 2nd with the release of the full video.

Radcollector got together with Louie Vito, Nike 6.0, Frank151 and TheGoodLife! to make shred x hip hop history at Winter X 15 in Aspen Colorado this year. Not only did Louie win his first ever X Games medal with a bronze in halfpipe, but he brought Yelawolf on snow for the first time and had him charging Snowmass like an expert after only two days. After the shredfest, Yelawolf took over The Belly Up with the stoke in his belly and gave one of the best shows of his life, bringing out Trouble Andrew for a rendition of his anthem “Take it to the Top” before Z Trip caused a near riot with his closing set. Peep the madness above.
