Man, I still get a little teary eyed watching Guy Mariano skating to Band of Horses “The Funeral” in Fully Flared…
Well, Creighton Barrett from Band of Horses hit us up personally to ask us to help get the word out about a rad contest they are throwing over on their Facebook Page.

Creighton is from the South, so he wants to give back and make sure that the Southern Skate Scene is properly represented. Here’s the lowdown, just make a video of your best skate footage featuring one of the songs from the new BOH album, Infinite Arms, and you could win:
-Airfare and hotel for two to Los Angeles
-Tickets to see BOH at The Greek Theater
-A trip to Girl Skateboard’s private skate park to skate with Creighton Barrett of BOH
-A Band of Horses Girl Skate Deck
-A pair of Band of Horses Custom Lakai Shoes
-Priceless memories…
Band of Horses will be judging the entries. This could be your chance, but better hurry because the contest ends September 6th!
