Clyde Singleton Gives Back with "Boards for Bros"


Over the weekend, I was asked to join Ed Womble, Travis Monroe and the skaters here in Winston-Salem, NC, for their annual Skate and Donate event. This year, over 140 complete skateboards were given away all throughout the city with countless smiles going along with 'em. Get some added holiday hype with the photos below! —Clyde Singleton
