If you haven’t heard of Benny Milam yet, you are about to really soon. At only 13 years old he has been dominating the younger age brackets at Minnesota contests the last couple years. This summer he took the trip to Mount Hood with the rest of the Flow Microns and here is the video proof. There are a bunch of different young riders in this video, but you will see that Benny truly steals the show.
Jacob Durham from MAKE Friends has been producing great video edits for quite a while now. Most of his videos that we featured here have been snowboarding, so we decided to give you some skate action this time. Enjoy 14 minutes of skating with Jake’s friends!
Not too long ago the Hometown Heroes Contest Tour made a stop at 3rd Lair Skatepark in Golden Valley. The skaters showed up in top form and made it hard for the judges to pick a winner. When it was all said and done, Jace Torkelson won first place after nailing a kickflip back smith on the bump to rail. The runners up were Eli Rashad in second and Ricky Nunn in third. Check out the video for highlights of the contest by clicking the link below.
Familia, one of the best Twin Cities skateshops, was recently interviewed by Frank151. They chose to interview Familia’s founder Tucker Gerrick. Some great questions were raised about where the business is going and how it was started. Familia is always deeply involved in the Minnesota skate scene, so swing by their shop sometime and show them some support.

In case you didn’t already hear, 3rd Lair Skatepark in Golden Valley just built a giant vert ramp. Their skatepark already features an amazing setup inside, but they decided to top it offer with a jaw-dropping monster outside. Even if you pee your pants just looking at it, make sure to get out to Golden Valley and be amazed. Even the City Pages decided to send one of their photographers out to take shots of it. We’ll keep you updated about any contest that might be featured on the beast!
