The last few weeks have been crazy around here. After the success of our Octabomb Launch Party we looked ahead to probably the busiest two weeks in the skateboard industry, especially in southern California. The US Open of Surfing, The X Games, The Maloof Money Cup, and ASR all take place in these two weeks. The X Games is always a huge event that takes over Los Angeles every year. This year they created an awesome park course and street course for all the skaters and BMX riders to rip up. There were some sick lines thrown down and one BMX rider even decided to air out of the street course, it was crazy. The US Open of Surfing took over the Beach at Huntington in it’s usual fashion. There were vendors tents, a massive park course, a huge skateboard bowl, and of course all the waves for the surfers. We were there for a few days passing out flyers and checking out the action, as well as the amazing concerts that are put on. The Maloof Money Cup was like nothing I have ever seen before. The course for the street skaters was sick and featured obstacles taken from various famous skate spots around southern California. Then just behind it was a very unique halfpipe as well as the Mini Mega Ramp. There were a million kids running around gathering up all the free swag they could, and Bamboosk8 held it down in the Kicker booth to inform people about our products and of course set them up with anything they needed to shred. This weekend is the ASR trade show in San Diego and you better believe that Bamboosk8 will be in the house representing. Also look for our very own warehouse manager Andrew to be shredding it up in the Shop Boys Contest, good luck man.
