Back at it Again

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Back in the cave puttin in work had a great christmas break with the fam that involved sleeping, eating, watching sports, sleeping and eating not necessarily in that order though haha. First day back got hit with the essay and theres definitely a difference without the other interns there to do it with but got it done without to much devastation to my confidence haha. Aight stay up one love and all that jazz.

mentally challenging

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Geoff surprised us with a business scenario where in solving we really learned the difficulties with running a business it was a greeat experience made you really think in a challenging way but at same time had the effect of causing me to desire even more to cut my own niche in this business.

slide fest, tshirts, and other trinkets of knowledge

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Hey yall just keepin everybody up to date on what is goin on the decks are shippin out crazy fast like roadrunner fast i need to hurry up and get mind before theyre all gone. But slidefest is this saturday and it should be real legit cant wait to be there see these dudes tear up the hill.  Right now still we’re still building the business model for soft goods its a slow process but it sure to pay off huge dividends in the future!

coming together slowly but surely

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Whats happenin people for the past two weeks i have been focusing on the developing of our t-shirts and soft goods department and its coming along slowly but with the rest of the interns working together we hope to get some designs out in the near future. Just got to visualize that day when you walk into your local skate shop and see the latest t-shirt from bamboosk8 on display its what motivates me.

gloves are off

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

the gloves are off, training wheels removed, etc, etc we’ve been given free rein as interns to cause havoc or come up big like kobe bryant in the playoffs hahaha. on the real we’re starting to get into our various projects and the beginning is always the hardest but once you get an idea or lay the groundwork everything else comes that much easier so im going to keep plugging away kowing that there is always light at the end of every tunnel. H.E.R.O.

ASR and other random anecdotes…

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

ASR was like a tornado blew around the world and deposited the leading action sports brands in one city at the same time it was like one of those dreams that you get mad at yourself after waking up from it. Walking around i was surprised over and over again how people who did not even skate were interested in what we were doing because of that it was important to have working knowledge of the products we were promoting. It was a great learning experience and i cant wait till the next one and maybe next time the security guards will let me into class@asr because i couldnt smooth talk them into letting me by. And on a random note its been discovered im the best box maker out of the interns if there was an olympic event for it i would have been the michael phelps for it hahaha. H.E.R.O.

First day

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

First day was crazy like padded room occupant crazy they threw alot of information at me and at first your head is swimming but it gets cleared because everyone was real willing to help out  they were not joking when they said its like a family here. Right now im just learning how BambooSk8 operates, the correct way to contact different business and individual entities, and most importantly the goals and mission of this company. I know that this internship has me on the right track in terms of future goals such as owning my own apparel company hopefully that happens before BambooSk8 corners the market haha
