X-Game-in-it

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

The X-Games were sick this year. Lots of sweet one footed skate nollie nose grabs. The Staples Center smelled like gas from all the dirt bikes that were going brrrrrrrrr!!!!! When it came time for the big air comp I was ready. We had great seats, and as Bob Burnquist flew through the air I was sure he would hit his head on the score board thingy……so close. It was a great time and fun was had by all. BambooSk8 will always be at the best skate events and look for our Zine dropping knowlege on the internet and your local BambooSk8 dealer.

About Me

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Hi my name is Shawn Wood and I’m interning at Bamboosk8. I recently graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Business. When I was living in Northern California I worked at Ground Zero Board Shop. It was lots of fun and I learned the ins and outs of this crazy industry. Ground Zero opened some doors for me as being a sub rep for Electric Visual, and Sanuk. Lots of fun and challenging at times, and went from selling items to customers to placing reorders with owners. I moved back to Southern California to be closer to the hub of things. I’m now interning at Bamboosk8 and love that I’m working for a company that cares about the environment. I worked at a skate shop for over two years and had no idea that skate boards made from maple are cut from 60 year old trees. Not down with that and now that I know that I really support the fact that Bamboo is the way to go. It grows super fast and you can Ollie 3” higher. Stay green, but not like the Hulk.
