Skate Blog Intern Blog

Man, I have no idea how to start and especially don’t know how to end this. 16 weeks are about to be over and I’m here writing my final blog. I have to say that I’m pretty proud of myself at this point because I made it all the way to the end. There were times when I really wasn’t sure if I got it what it takes to finish this internship but I did…hell yeah!

It sure has been an amazing experience for me to do this internship here at BambooSK8. I came here in the beginning of June not knowing anybody here and now I’m leaving knowing so many awesome people. First of all I want to thank BambooSK8 for giving me this opportunity to take one step closer to find my spot in action sport industry. This internship has truly made me more confident that this industry is where I want to pursue my career.

Thanks AG, Geoff C, Geoff K, Mark, Wyatt for all the help and mentoring. I’m sure I’m more prepared for the future challenges after this 16-week period, thanks to these guys.  I also want to thank our filmer/editor/skater Nate, my fellow interns Brian, Luna and Charlie and of course the warehouse crew for the awesome company and good times along the journey…you guys rock!

Now it’s time to take a little bit time off and enjoy my last days of my California adventure before going back to Finland. I’ll make sure to spread word about BambooSk8 in Scandinavia and I’ll definitely be in the spirit. Alright, I think that’s  it…that’s all.

Wishing all the best,

Timo

Another two weeks flew by just like that. I’ve managed to close some deals and get some Bamboo SK8 decks available in Europe so it’s definitely a little bit better place to live now. Besides business we headed to LA last weekend with our operations manager Mark to see what’s going on at the X-Games. This was my first time at the X-Games and I have to say that I had a blast… I’ll be back for this one hopefully next summer and I want to see some Bamboo SK8 riders represented!  After the X-Games we were off to party in Hollywood.  All in all we had a pretty awesome weekend!

This weekend the plan was to drop by at the Crossroads Retail Show in Carlsbad to see what’s going on there. Check out the link to find out what’s up http://www.crossroads-show.com/.

So yeah, we are already in the end of week 14, which means that I have only two weeks left here at BambooSK8. We’ll see how it’s going to be and I’ll make sure to post a little wrap up of the whole 16 week internship in my last blog post in two weeks.  I’ll try to come up with some good stuff for the final post so stay tuned!

See ya,

Timo
