We are incredibly stoked to release our newest 4th generation bamboo skateboard. All of the testing over the past 6 months has revealed this to be the very best quality bamboo deck yet featuring new design layout, more concave and incredible POP. Website will be updated soon to reflect the availability of decks and graphic decks, which includes a new Sutsu Owl&Cat short deck graphic and a 44″ pintail Quatzelcoatal graphic. We think these are the best skateboards in the world based on strength, pop, sustainability and price. Let us know what you think!

BambooSK8 team ready to destroy the competition (not the forest) at Tampa Am
Oceanside, December 1st, 2011: BambooSK8 couldn’t be more excited for its team riders, Matt Cartledge and Ryan Strader to be competing this weekend against 200 of the best amateur skateboarders in the world at the Tampa Am in Tampa, Florida.
When team manager Nate Wooldridge was asked why it is so important for Ryan and Matt to be at the Tampa Am representing BambooSK8, he answered, “Because it is simply the biggest amateur competition of the year and anybody that is important in the industry is going to be there.” No doubt that BambooSK8 is banking on this by sending their 2 best skaters who are a part of a newly developed team for 2012. It is the company’s goal that strong results in this competition will be the catalyst to bringing the brand to the forefront of the skateboard industry as more skaters will recognize the extra POP and the incredible strength that bamboo skate decks provide for their skaters and fans of the eco-minded brand.
Matt and Ryan who have similar styles are known for being down to skate any terrain whether it is ledges, manual pads, big gaps, handrails, weird obstacles, you name it and they will both skate it. Recently Ryan just landed a frontside 270 to switch frontslide boardslive shuv; a monster of a trick. Matt’s style has been compared to Sierra Fellers while Ryan’s has been compared to Chris Roberts. Ryan Strader is from Austin, Texas and, in addition to BambooSK8, is sponsored by Capital Skate Park, DVS, Good Life wheels, The Shop in Oak Cliff, Silver Trucks, FKD Bearings. The 18-year-old Matt Cartledge is also sponsored by Bunger Sayville Skate Shop, and is from Wantagh, New York.
The Tampa Am is hosted at the Skate Park of Tampa, also known as SPoT. The park has gained recognition over the years from hosting Pro and Amateur events that have featured riders such as Bob Burnquist, Bucky Lasek, and Danny Way. The Skate Park of Tampa has been open since 1993 and has hosted the Tampa Am annually since 1994. This year’s event starts at 9:00 am Thursday, December 1st and goes until 9:00pm on Sunday, December 4th. The Skate Park of Tampa is located at 4215 East Columbus Drive in Tampa, FL.

http://www.bamboosk8.com/bamboosk8/history/
We all know Rome wasn’t built overnight. The same goes for BambooSK8. For the past few years, we’ve devoted our attention to producing the best possible bamboo skateboard on the market that is up to the standard of the average pro skateboard out there. Reality is – if it isn’t, then why even bother trying to compete in the market. Nonetheless, you have to start somewhere…and for us, that start was a few years ago. It was our intent to change the market from 100% maple to 100% bamboo skateboards; a lofty goal. While the 100%’s were pretty awesome at one time, in terms of the strength and durability, they were too flat for the average consumer who needed a deeper concave. Unfortunately, for as cool as bamboo is as a natural resource, it does have its limitations in terms of how far you can bend it. The result of too much bending is a surface crack at the point of flux running left to right. The same holds true for maple though when bending it too far as well. It’s just inherent in natural resources being pushed beyond their natural limits. Anyhow, so that left us over time working on other mixes, different glues, different pressing techniques, different press times, etc. Fast forward to 2011 and here we are today with a deck that is 70% bamboo by content. That’s 70% more than the 100% maple, which is a step in the right direction. This deck shape with the concave pleases a significant portion of the skaters who skate the decks…that’s why we have so many repeat customers. We don’t claim that it will please everyone as a deck purchase is a personal choice based on your style of skating and preferences (concave, wheelbase, shape, etc.). We hope that for you who are reading this can see that our best intentions are towards the environment and taking small steps in the right direction; we’ve only got 1 planet folks – let’s take care of it and each other! For those who choose to skate a bambooSK8 deck, we appreciate you! See fan testimonials at www.bamboosk8.com/fans

What style of skater are you (street, vert, pool, freestyle)? Street
How much do you weigh? 155lbs
How was the POP in comparison to other decks? In my opinion, I thought the pop was alot better than most decks i tried… You could definitely tell the difference.
Did the POP help you get higher air for your tricks? Yeah for sure. my tricks all and all are bigger
How was the razer tail? Well I noticed that it did’nt get as bad as fast as most decks.. which was really good cause it keeps your tricks popin good…
Did you experience any pressure cracks? after a long while. But it held up really good.
How long did the deck last? THis deck lasted me a long time apposed form maple decks. but my favorite part is that it felt like a new deck the whole time! it did’nt get weakened and flimsy quite as fast.
How was the performance overall? All and all i was really impressed with the performance of the deck.. It stayed stiff, feeling like a new deck, the for a long time. The pop on the deck took some getting used to, but once i got it down it was killer. Definitely my new favorite deck. The flip was really good. It wasn’t to much nor was it not enough, it was perfect! I was completely satisfied with the perfomance of this deck overall.
Would you give a thumbs up to these decks? If not, Why? Dude, I’d give two!
Will you be purchasing another BambooSK8 deck? Ohh yeah for sure for sure.
Where did you hear about BambooSK8? From the hookit site.

Every day, we receive feedback from fans on our bamboo skateboard decks who submit their feedback via our online dealer feedback form: http://www.bamboosk8.com/dealers/dealers-feedback.php
Here’s an example from 4/24:
What style and level of skater skated the deck? Street skater and intermediate
How was the POP? The pop was excellent! I popped my highest ollie on the Bamboo deck.
How was the razer tail? The tail has not shedded a layer yet.
How long did the deck last? I am currently skating the same deck after 3 weeks.
How was the performance overall? Overall the deck is great and I am performing tricks I could barely land on a maple deck.
Would you give a thumbs up to these decks? If not, Why? Yes!
Here’s another example from 4/23:
What style and level of skater skated the deck? Well, I’m a decent street skater, and a pretty tough ramp skater. I skate mostly stairs and ledges, steering away from rails.
How was the POP? The pop was…well…weird. It’s hard to explain. Let’s just say, Bamboo gives POP a whole new meaning. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to maple…
How was the razer tail? The razor tail was not bad at all. I broke my bamboo deck before I could get too bad of razor tail.
How long did the deck last? Actually, the deck itself outlasted my spitfire classics…so as you can imagine, these boards stand the test of shred
How was the performance overall? I’m an avid skater, and you can’t really tell, being that it was a bamboosk8 blank (you couldn’t see the scratch marks on the bottom). The only wear you could see were some scuff marks and a little razor tail. I usually get major razor tail, scratched up graphic, and chipped everywhere…but with bamboo, everything is peaceful.
Would you give a thumbs up to these decks? If not, Why? I want you to imagine the episode of “MINUTE TO WIN IT”, where the guy had to stack three golf balls on top of each other…Remember how many divits and dimples the golf balls had? That many thumbs up. =]
