Clean Vibes Trading Post, is a 501(c)3 organization that promotes recycling at large outdoor events throughout the United States. The Clean Vibes Trading Post rewards individuals who collect recyclable materials during the events with products such as skateboards from BambooSK8.
Bonnaroo attracts a national audience of up to 80,000 attendees daily and is one of the largest music festivals in the United States. As the only North American festival to receive a high-ranking Greener Festival award for three consecutive years, Bonnaroo is also recognized as an event that is committed to promoting environmental responsibility.
This is the fourth year the Clean Vibes Trading Post will be operating at Bonnaroo and several other events across the country. The cans and bottles which individuals collect become a currency of sort, and the more recycling gathered, the more valuable items they can “purchase.” Providing immediate rewards enables us to directly engage people in the clean up process, educate them about the importance of recycling, and ensures that we divert as much material as possible from the landfill.

Go Green Family Night at Lakeview Elementary
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011June 7th was “Go Green Family Night” at Lakeview Elementary School in Lakeside California. It was an educational night that guided family and students on ways to decrease their carbon footprint. Everything from electric cars, to solar power energy, and of course bamboo skateboards. The kids loved the bamboo skateboards and were thrilled about removable tattoos. The parents on the other hand we’re excited to take home some bamboosk8 coasters. Thanks to Kris Childs for putting on a great event. Until next year…

El Camino H.S. Skate Club
Tuesday, June 7th, 2011Saturday was El Camino H.S. Skate Club’s last contest of the year. It took place at YMCA Skatepark in Encinitas on a perfectly sunny day. The group was led by Isabelle Fried (Gravity Skateboard Team Rider). About a dozen or so of the clubs skaters made it out to a jam session format. Everyone was having a great time, and the energy was so positive. Taking 1st place in the contest was Club President and graduating senior, Joe. Congrats!!!

8″ skateboards – coming end of June
Saturday, June 4th, 2011We sincerely apologize for the production delays, but we will have more 8″ decks and other sizes in a few more weeks – likely near end of June/early July. For those that need a deck now, we suggest trying the 8.25″ decks, which seem to work great for those who try them or the 7.75″. We’ll also be introducing the new pro model JEFF WRIGHT signature deck, as well as a brand new redesigned 39″ square tail warrior bamboo longboard. We’ll also have the new 7″ termite grom deck and 10×33″ old school pool deck.
