Hi Newschoolers! The Summer Rail Challenge is back, last year I ran this contest and the response from the participants was so rad that I've decided to run it again. It's always so much fun to watch summer backyard rail edits, and see all the creative setups and new tricks people come up with. Let's together make this into a really fun thing for everyone to enjoy! :)

Check out the contest website for all the info, rules, prizes & more:

The Facebook messenger battles are already heating up. Far too intense for newschoolers.

Hard drive died today, yippie! I might be able to get it recovered, but worst case ontario my 4 months of turf skiing go undocumented. I'm about to go and cry over a big bucket of ice cream now.

Bummer to hear that your hard drive crashed..! Have you tried to recover the files or asked any computer store if they can save your hard drive? I was really looking forward to see your entry, hopefully you can still get something together!

It was a solid state drive, wasn't going to be worth it to try and recover the files. A good chunk of the entry was the stuff I already put out this summer but I was most proud of the shots that never saw any daylight. I can't say that I'm putting together anything impressive, but it might be entertaining. I'm only using unseen footy.

The fact the 1806 lost all his clips and made one of my favorite edits is comedic. Props to Isaac, Dube, and Cory all delivering heat

cory's long rails were nuts, the fact that they were kinked rails instead of just flat was even better.

everyone killed it this summer, can't wait to see how the results go

For sure, so many different types of edits this year also. Sage's edit had some difficult tricks on super crazy rails, jackson's edit was super steezy, Isaac had some of the cleanest 450 combos on a summer setup to date, Dube's edit was 100% banger tricks and Stephen's edit had a ton of really creative features with some bangers mixed in.

Accidentally missed 3 submissions. Stephen in there as usually with bangers. Everyone all around killed it.
