About
Last Try
Simply put, Last Try is a place for you to archive your
skateboarding experience. Whether that is your achievements on a board, photos
you too, clips you edited, or just the things you like and dislike about
skateboarding, Last Try has a way for you to do so. Sure, Facebook and the other
social networks are good for maintaining your social life, but skateboarding can
tend to get lost in the clutter. At Last Try, skateboarding it the topic at
hand. It is your content, it is other skateboarders' content, and it is our
content. There have been other attempts at online skateboarding communities in
the past, but this one is made for us skateboarders based on what we like and
need. It is here to give each of us a voice, to help us find skate buddies in
other cities, and to share our love of skateboarding. It is a work in process
and we will always be working to make it better, so please send any suggestions
our way.
Last Try is made up of a few people, including:
Eby Ghafarian – A skateboarder for the last decade and a
half and owner of Naysayer Skateboards (http://naysayerskateboards.com/),
Eby is leading the vision of the Last Try. With years of experience in marketing
and product management, Eby will ensure that Last Try remains true to
skateboarding and what will benefit skateboarders. Eby is based out of NYC.
Rudy Thurston – Do you remember the first skateboarding
social network led by Salman Agah (http://salmanagah.com/)
called Ice Lounge? Well, Rudy was the man behind the scenes building the site
and making it run smoothly. Rudy is based out of the OC.
Lawrence Shum – Designer extraordinaire, Lawrence is
responsible for keeping the sites aesthetics on point. He has an old Natas 101
deck in mint condition (the rabbit in the bear trap graphic) that would make
jealous. Lawrence is also based out of NYC.
However, the most important people behind the site are each
and every one of you. While we will create some content, we are mostly here to
enable you to create your own content, all of which is incredible in its own
unique way.
Skate and update!
Thanks for the support,
Last Try
