Social Community for skateboarders and fans
Twice a year, the Skatepark Of Tampa organizes two of the best skateboard contest in the world. These contests are nothing like the Xgames, and are advertiser supported by the skateboard industry only. Anyway, before I get to far off course. I was looking at some skateboard sites that were covering the Tampa Am contest and I came a across an interesting write-up about icelounge.com. Turns out, icelounge.com, which is a Social Community for skateboarders and fans, was launching a new feature at the Tampa Am contest. They launched a cool service that would give any of their members the ability post pictures and videos directly from the event using their cellphones. Very cool. I signed up for an icelounge account today to check-out the community and the features. It is what a niche community should be like. One of the really cool things about icelounge is that it puts skateboard fans in direct contact with pro skateboarders and industry insiders. Here’s a rundown of their services:
