Santa Clarita brand new $1.5 million skate park grand opening

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

A few of us made the 2.5 hour trek from Oceanside up to the windy/sunny Santa Clarita, about 30 minutes north of Los Angeles for the brand new skate park grand opening.  Such an amazing park with literally over 1000 bikers, skaters, scooters and rollerbladers.  We saw some knarly wipeouts when skaters crashed into bikers in the bowl.  Pure chaos!!  Bamboosk8 had a small booth and handed out some of our 100% bamboo decks to those who wanted to join the eco revolution and skate bamboo.  It was nice to see Lance Mountain, Brian Patch and Austin Poynter tearing up the bowl.

Pepperdine University’s Graziadio School of Business and Management was proud to host the Running the Malibu Waves on March 7th, 2009 to benefit Challenge for Charity’s (C4C) Special Olympics & The Children’s Lifesaving Foundation.  For almost 20 years, the MBA Challenge for Charity, a non-profit 501(c)3, has drawn on the talents, energy and resources of MBA’s from West Coast Business Schools to raise funds and volunteers for the Special Olympics and other charities throughout the year.

This little grom won a deck for running in the kids race.  BambooSK8 was proud to donate a few decks to help out.

clash at clairemont skatepark pacsun demo

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

What an awesome day in the lovely San Diego sun when you’ve got your industry friends together all having a great time skating.  Bamboosk8 had a pretty weird spot in between and over some ramps but under the main stage where the bands played, but it ended up working well as our banner was placed in plain view of the best trick contest where all the photos were being shot.  Each of the winners got bamboo skate decks.  Tons of skaters and parents visited the booth and we sold tons of 100% bamboo skateboard decks – thanks to the efforts of our interns Mark d, Mark o, Gary and Monica.  It’s great to see the excitement of people who are proud of what you are doing for the environment and for skateboarding.  Other than that, it was great to see some pros – Christian Hosoi, Bucky Lasek, Andy Macdonald etc. tearing up the 14′ ramp and pool.   Also, to see the new hot shot kids like Allysha Bergado (thanks Tho), Austin Poytner (thanks Gerry) and Shane Borland (thanks Jimbo); all of which use to skate with me on Termite Skateboards a few years ago.
