Thursday, October 30th, 2008TEMPLE – recycled in Thailand
Monday, October 27th, 2008The Wat Pa Maha Chedio Kaew temple has found a way to bottle up Nirvana, literally. The temple, which sits in Thailand’s Sisaket province, roughly 370 miles northeast of Bangkok is made of more than a million recycled glass bottles. True to its nickname, “Wat Lan Kuad” or “Temple of Million Bottles” features glass bottles throughout the premises of the temple, including the crematorium, surrounding shelters, and yes – even the toilets. There’s an estimated 1.5 million recycled bottles built into the temple, and as you might have guessed, they are committed to recycling more. After all, the more bottles they get, the more buildings they are able to construct.

Saturday, October 25th, 2008Skate Midwest – bamboo skateboard article – 10/2/8
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008http://skate.skatemidwest.com/bamboo-skateboards
We would like to thank Skate Midwest for reviewing our decks.
Bamboo Skateboards
So we just got two decks sent over from Bamboosk8.com and they’re pretty sick.
Supposedly the pop will last a super long time with these things ( but all the really good skaters out there knows that decks don’t last long anyway ). They are super rigid and feel pretty solid.
The concave isn’t to deep so super techy skaters may find that a little more effort may need to be put in to get those crook to inward heelflips done.
Check em out for sure and plus bamboo is a pretty good renewable resource so you might be being environmentally friendly!

Etnies GvR skate contest – October 5/6
Monday, October 6th, 2008We had an awesome weekend in Lake Forest at Etnies. Our 2 interns David and Taylor arrived Saturday morning around 8am to set up our booth, which contained a bamboo table and chairs, bamboo art piece and 2 racks of decks to display, 2 banners, as well as around 100 decks for promotion. Geoff arrived around 9am after getting lost in Huntington Beach dropping off veneers to a longboard company. Ron arrived around 10 with the remaining promotional items. Anyhow, the weather was a bit cold and when the rain came down a few times, it got pretty darn chilly. Nonetheless, the level of excitement from kids stoked on our product made it all worth it. We had kids willing to break their brand new pro model decks on camera for a chance to exchange it for a 100% bamboo skate deck. At 1 point, we through a deck out into the crowd and it took nearly 2 minutes of a near riot before 1 kid made his mark walking away with the deck and a smile on his face. Many were amazed at how strong the bamboo decks really are. We also had a few kids who wanted to go promote our brand and hand out postcard fliers with a chance to win free decks for a year contest. The actual skate qualification took place on Saturday and it just floors me how many guys cannot land any tricks; and they are pros? Wow! What other sport can you get away with that? Saturday around 8:20, Bad Religion took the stage and rocked it hard. Amazing to think how long they’ve been around and still play that fast. Sunday, Ron and the interns worked the booth and we had another successful day; many more bamboo skate decks promoted.
