This past weekend, the Austin skate community braved freezing temperatures to celebrate 17 years of No-Comply Skateshop and 50 years of the Converse One Star at the Empire Control Room. A stacked lineup of videos headlined the party along with a tribute to our dear friend and brother Dylan Roy (Rest In Peace). The audience was treated to fresh productions by Roger and Cons before witnessing the Scene Attack video contest. Four local filmers and their crews went above and beyond this year. Musical performances by DJ Go Go Garcia, Guru Khalsa, The Pinky Rings and Waul of the Weld set the ambiance for a Fat-Tire-fueled mini-ramp session after the screenings. Thanks to Converse and Fat Tire for celebrating with us and all the event support. As always, thank you to everyone in our community who helped us reach this milestone.
