Hey everyone! Chanelle here. So this is my final post for the BambooSK8 Intern blog. I’m actually sitting in my KAB booth at ASR San Diego and writing this : )

BambooSK8 was definitely an experience. I met lots of cool people and talked to lots of great people from all of the shops that we were calling all the time. I learned a lot about what it means to push and strive for the best within the skate industry (and let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it looks). I had tons of fun with all of the other interns and Ron and Wyatt in the office, and I’m sure I’ll see everyone again. A special thanks to our pres Geoff for pushing us and making us do better everyday because it was honestly that extra push that made us the awesome interns that we became! I’m glad to have had the opportunity to work with BambooSK8 and I can’t wait to see great things for this company in the future.

As for the new intern crew, the workload is a handful, but it pays off in the end, trust me!

Keep up the awesome work BambooSK8 and everyone else remember…THE GRASS IS GREENER ON OUR SIDE!

SKATE BAMBOO

This year has been so crazy, so fun, and has gone by so fast! It’s been really busy around the BambooSK8 office and we’re getting decks out there! Thank you to all of the shops who have been willing to order decks and try our samples even though we know times are tough economically. The new year is just around the corner and there will be lots more coming from BambooSK8 so keep a look out. By spring all of the shops across the nation will be fighting for our bamboo decks, I know it! My internship will be over soon, but I have learned so much working here and I know there will be more success to come.  As for now, Happy Holidays everyone and have a safe New Years! See you all in 2009!

Ah the BambooSK8 intern blog…I love Mondays!(Especially when my dinosaur of a computer decides to not work so I have to use Ryan’s back up baby computer. Just another day in the life). Ever since I started interning for BambooSK8, my Mondays have been quite interesting. We have a team of interns and 4 of us get the privilege of working together every Monday which is awesome. This is the first internship that I’ve had where there are actually multiple interns working together at the same time and it’s definitely a bonus. We all come in, coffees and red bulls in hand, and start the work day with plenty of stories from the weekend and laughing histerically at the most random things, but even when we get down to business we still have a great time in the office. It’s never boring, that’s for sure.

Here at BambooSK8, we work on promoting our amazing 100% bamboo skate decks and spreading the word on how these decks will one day change the entire skateboarding industry. I actually feel like I am a part of something that has so much potential for success and I love that the interns actually play an important role here at BambooSK8. Not only am I learning more about the skate industry and what it takes to start a company and build from the bottom up, I am also learning valuable skills in sales, marketing and PR which I will carry with me throughout my future career…I’m hoping BambooSK8 will help me jump start that step : )

Overall, I’m really enjoying working here at BambooSK8 and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for this company. And one day when bamboo takes over the skateboarding industry, I can proudly say that I was a part of it from the beginning which is coolest part. But now it’s time for me to get back to work and keep selling bamboo! P.S. If you like our site and like reading our blogs, you should check out our myspace page too, Kelly and I have been working hard to get it looking good : )

Until the next blog,

xoxo
