New and Improved hybrid bamboo decks with heat stamped logo

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Just like “Intel-inside” is a sub branding for computer quality, we too, have implemented a sub-branding strategy with a heat stamped logo, non-invasively, over the truck holes on the tail. This is how you as a customer will know and always trust the quality of our bamboo skateboards over the competitors. Often these competitors only put 1 layer of bamboo in the deck and try “green-washing” it as if it is eco friendly. Our hybrids are 70% bamboo by content, 3 ply bamboo and 2 maple. These have been street tested for durability, machine tested for strength, and thus far are the best decks we’ve ever put out. We are incredibly proud of them and hope you will be too. Towards that end, we have recently dropped the price of our decks from $30 online to $23, to make them affordable. We know its still very tough out there and a lot of your families are faced with some financial challenges, so we wanted to do our part to help you…. we hope you appreciate the savings. We’ve also added a value package for $5 more which includes 1 grip tape, 10 stickers, zine and 20 free digital music downloads; a package worth more than $30 – all for $5.

Action Sports Retail – Crossroads show

Monday, January 11th, 2010

BambooSK8 will not be displaying their products at the ASR trade show in February. We have made a strategic decision to put our money into alternative ways such as our support of a booth at the Vans Warped Tour this summer. We are planning to visit ASR/Crossroads on Wednesday February 3rd though and would be happy to meet with all interested shops, distributors and individuals. You can meet us near the Starbucks around noon. Email info@bamboosk8.com
