Pharrell Williams
recently launched The Ice Cream skate team, lead by professional skateboarder
Terry Kennedy.
According to an article published on expn.com, a sister site
to television network ESPN that covers extreme sports, Williams snagged five
amateurs who will tour the country for seven months with Kennedy.
The team will scout talent and film tricks for an upcoming DVD/Combo,
which will be released in the fall.
Williams’ younger brother, Kato Williams is one of the
team members, which is rounded out by Terrell Robinson, Kevin Booker, Jacob Walder
and Jimmy Gorecki.
"You get these
hungry ams off the street and you show them they can make something of themselves
and that’s what Ice Cream is all about," Williams told expn.com. "I
want these skaters to get recognition for shredding and to show that what they
are doing is a beautiful thing to aspire to."
