Reggie Kelly Video Clip

SkateATL — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 13:32:32 +0000

Reggie Kelly is definitely one of my favorite skaters coming out of Georgia right now, Not only is he a beast when he’s skating, he’s also a really solid dude with a good head on his shoulders. Reggie is definitely going to make his mark on skateboarding. And that mark will be huge!

This video is a couple of years old, but it’s still a really sick clip and worthy of a post.

Pictured below is his latest ad for Reveal.

Go to the app page to download the newest 2.0 version of the app.

*My phone is currently running Android Gingerbread and this app works just fine. Anyone running Ice Cream Sandwich? Please leave a comment and let me know if the app is working okay. -Thanks!
