I will tell you my son has been skating for 5 years and we have been using element and girl boards cause they seemed to last the longest. Then we tried your boards. The bamboo boards out last these major brands and are half the price. All his friends have your boards now also. No problems with the regular boards very strong, they skate at kona skate park and are very aggresive, awsome boards. I don’t know what its gonna take to get your boards known like element or girl or dgk, but I belive you hjave a superior product for half the price, your company should take off. We will keep buying them! Thanks, Jason.

BambooSK8 promotes non-profit CLEAN VIBES TRADING POST at Bonnaroo festival 2011
Saturday, June 18th, 20116/9/11-6/12/11 Bonnaroo Music Festival
http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/06/13/bonnaroo-clean-vibes/
http://www.fox17.com/sections/community/features/bonnaroo/videos/vid_22.shtml#.Tf65UylP2Li;facebook
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.

Jesus Hates Skater kids!!
Sunday, May 15th, 2011LA WEEKLY BLOG: Jesus Hates Skater Kids: ‘Lincoln Ramp’ Half Pipe in Venice Torn Down by Fun-Killers at United Methodist Church http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2011/05/lincoln_ramp_venice_torn_down_church.php
Andrew Reynolds filmed part of his Stay Gold Video here, the Termite kids skated with Shaun White a few weeks ago and so many skaters learned to skate here or practiced there. BambooSK8 did a 1 day teaching event at the school there to inspire the skate kids about the importance of education. We are sad to see that ramp go!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=939FACJV2dE
Shame on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many pastors feel their church is a hotel for saints and not a hospital for sinners. They have it all wrong!!!!!!!! I wish I had 10 minutes with that guy to see if he is beyond redemption or even has a soul…if he has any soul left…he may listen to an old youth pastor that is an advocate and knows the good that comes from skateboarding…ARGGGGGG! If you have his email…I would love to have it. Best of luck to Heidi and all her saints!
