Logan Marshall earns Bamboo Skateboards’ Tribal Chief status on Hookit!
Eleven year-old stoked to ride for the world’s leading sustainable skateboard company.
OCEANSIDE, CA—May 20, 2013: Logan Marshall, an eleven year-old skater from Red Bluff, CA, has become Bamboo Skateboards’ first level 3 ECO TRIBE Hookit rider of 2013.
Marshall, who has ridden for Bamboo Skateboards for three years, was invited to advance to level 3 Eco Chief on Hookit.com, the action sports social media site that helps emerging athletes find sponsors. Bamboo Skateboards has 502 riders from around the world on its ECO TRIBE team, which has four levels of sponsorship.
Marshall met all of the requirements including a strong commitment to representing Bamboo Skateboards. He also has an impressive 231,000 profile views and other sponsors such as Monster Energy drinks. In return, Marshall will receive tons of stickers, deep discounts on Bamboo boards, be the first to get new deck graphics and t-shirts, a variety of promotional materials, and extra schwag from other partnered companies.
Marshall has been skating since he was four and says that he loves riding for Bamboo Skateboards because of their dedication to sustainable manufacturing and social responsibility. “I have worked really hard outside of my actual skating to rep the Boo. The Boo is what I DO and skateboarding is my passion,” stated Logan.
Bamboo Skateboards president, Geoff Koboldt, is super excited to have Marshall as the company’s first Eco Chief in 2013. “Logan is the type of fan that any brand would be honored to be represented by. He continuously promotes Bamboo Skateboards relentlessly, has a positive attitude and rocks the boo at a ton of northern California contests.”
Marshall plans to keep riding but keeps things in perspective. “I hope to go pro some day but know that school is important as my backup plan,” he says.

Bamboo Skateboards are manufactured from managed bamboo forests and help reduce the environmental impact against traditional maple manufactured skateboards, which often lead to maple deforestation. The boards are known for their strength, lightness and amazing POP, which is the #1 feature. The company has built into its corporate DNA a “100 decks for 1” program, in which every 100 decks sold earns 1 free skateboard to an at-risk youth. This is coupled with the fact that most decks are directly tied to benefit charities and non profits such as World Wildlife Fund, Red Cross, Grind For Life, Standup for Skateparks, Musicares, Surfrider Foundation, etc.
We are excited to set up a booth on Monday, April 22nd at OAKLEY’s main office. We’ll be joining a few other great brands such as ReRip, Green Truck, Solid Recycled Surf Company, to show off our products to the 500+ Oakley employees and educate them on what we do towards sustainability with our bamboo skateboards. A variety of prize packs will be available including 5 bamboo skateboards, 2 solid surfboards, 1 model train from metrolink, Oakley recycled surf shorts, and much more. Oakley is one of those brands that has stood the test of time and has our utmost respect.
Saturday, March 16th, Bamboo Skateboards President and owner Geoff Koboldt and intern Myles headed over to Hawthorne to visit the Da Vinci High School of Design. The purpose was to provide the students with an overview of what it takes to create and run a small business; from the conception of an idea to a business plan to daily execution of the strategy. A special thanks to our friend Giselle at UCLA’s MBA program who invited us over.
“Geoff provided a candid look into the hard work and dedication needed to be an entrepreneur. However, what I appreciated most was hearing about his values and ethics which he has successfully integrated into his business endeavors.” – Miracle
Geoff started the presentation by first asking the students what they wanted to walk away with by the time he finished his hour long presentation. This ranged from “Tell us about the creative process” to “What level of education do you have?” to “What mistakes have been made” and about 20 other great questions from these future scholars. Let us also add that not once did we lose our connection to these kids from playing on their phones, dozing off, etc. Very respectful youth!!
The 15 slide presentation started with a series of slides identifying the problem in the skateboarding industry: Skateboarding is a major contributor to maple deforestation in N. America as skateboarding has risen over the past 10 years. Bamboo Skateboards hopes to lessen that problem and change the paradigm to use of sustainable bamboo. Geoff then went on to explain that ideas can start from a simple couple of notes and sketches on a napkin, but one must address what problems are being solved, will this create a niche, does the market demand it and will people pay for it? From there, he identified the mission of bamboo skateboards and it’s 3 pillars of Sustainability, Philanthropy and Quality (Pop, Strength).
When it came to talking about the business plan, Geoff further educated them on the Porter 5-force model, which helps companies understand things such as the barriers to entry, competitive rivalry, buyer power, etc. The students also learned about a SWOT analysis, which represents the internal (Strengths, Weaknesses) and external (Opportunities, Threats).
Next, the students were taken through the various business functions from financing to production to operations to marketing to sales. Real-life examples were given beyond the theory, which tied the learning together and helped reinforce the concepts.
Finally Geoff took them through a day in the life of what he goes through owning a business. Towards that end, this included planning out the action items the night before, getting a good nights rest, a morning meditation, only responding to urgent emails in the morning and reviewing emails only 2x/day at 11am and 7pm, working on time sensitive projects, checking in on operations with employees, etc. He then went on to highlight the good and the bad about business, but definitely more of the good such as the freedom to be your own boss, to feel good about the products you put in the market, to feel great when giving back, to choose your own schedule, write your own rules, etc. When Geoff said he hadn’t up to an alarm clock in 5 years, the students got super excited. Nonetheless, he didn’t let them forget the years he spent in corporate america getting up at 4:30am and working 12 hours before driving an hour to class to sit in school for 4 hours, drive an hour back, sleep a few hours and repeat the process, 2-3x/week for 2 years straight while he earned his MBA.
If there was any message to be delivered it was that life is hard but the only obstacle you need to worry about being limited by is that of your own. Don’t limit your potential. Don’t put up roadblocks to your success. Don’t let your past hold you back.
By the end of it, we got a lot of high fives, hand shakes and photos. The kids seemed very inspired. In fact, one girl wrote 3 pages of notes alone.
After presenting to this outstanding group of students and seeing the intelligent discussion, I don’t worry about the future of these kids. I’m pretty confident that every single one of them is going to college and will do very well for themselves. They are fortunate to go to a really rad school who lets them creatively express themselves without judgment. This year is the first graduating class for this California charter school.
Here’s a video that the students got to watch which helped educate them on bamboo:
As part of our philanthropic efforts, we headed up to the tough gang-ridden neighborhood of Watts, California to pass out some free bamboo decks and complete skateboards. This was part of our “100 decks for 1” program, which gives 1 skateboard per every 100 we sell to charities that help at-risk youth. It is our honor and privilege to do what we can to help inspire others and hope that others can do the same in their community.
This time we supported an organization called Bridge to Skate - www.bridgetoskate.org who was kind enough to introduce us to some deserving kids. We agreed that we could create a positive experience for the kids and in way make them feel devalued or feel like they are at-risk; for their lives are all they know. They also have a skate contest 1x/month, which was cool to watch all the kids shredding in the new park that was developed thanks to the funding of Tony Hawk’s Standup For Skateparks. I remember being at that fundraiser, so it’s good to see the tangible rewards.
Whenever you tell someone you are going to Compton or Watts, both in S. Central Los Angeles, people often say, “Are you crazy?” The area is notorious for violence and gangs. Nonetheless, what does it say about us as human beings if we only focus our energies on those who can afford our products in safe areas with modern conveniences? Not everyone has the same life’s situation so it is our duty to help others who don’t have it as easy. It’s important that every customer of our products knows that their purchase is helping someone else.
Despite all the fears (created by others) of driving through Watts, the skate park is situated in a very nice section on Central avenue at the WLCAC with other buildings and activities that brings about a strong sense of community. There is no doubt these kids have it tough; some of which have to risk being shot at or being harassed by gangs by simply skating down the road. Nonetheless, they show up and forget about all that when they are skating and that’s the magic of skateboarding! We met a lot of really nice, respectful kids and wonderful supervisors and parents who care a lot about these kids.
As I drove home, I looked at the beautiful expansive view from the 105 freeway which included snow-capped mountains 50+ miles to the East, skyscrapers of downtown Los Angeles to the north about 10 miles, Hollywood sign to the Northwest about 15 miles, ocean to the right. I thought to myself, “Do many of these kids ever get to experience this or are they stuck in their bubble of space and time fighting for survival?” At that moment, I felt grateful for the gift of giving. Whether or not any of these kids will become future pro skaters or not, it doesn’t really matter. For this moment, they had fun and some of them got a free new skateboard and the chance to do something positive, something healthy, something fun. I trust the universe will take care of them and fill them with joy during their time on a bamboo skateboard. To me, that’s the real raw beauty of skateboarding.
To help build our completes, we asked the skateboard industry for assistance this time. Unfortunately, not one of the pro distribution companies (Dwindle, BlackBox, Blitz, Syndrome, etc.) were able to step up to provide trucks (hopefully next time!!!), but we did receive some wheels and grip tape from Starnet Production; so thank you Vincent!!
Oceanside, CA – January 7, 2013: Bamboo Skateboards, the world leader in eco-friendly, socially conscious skateboards, is giving their brand and overall image a facelift for 2013. After testing out a name change amongst trusted riders, industry leaders and fans, they have officially matured the old name of BambooSK8 to that of Bamboo Skateboards.
President and owner Geoff Koboldt stated, “We are blown away by the explosive positive feedback we’ve received from the fans of our brand on making this name change. 2013 is going to be a great year for us! ” Mark Olson, Sales & Marketing manager says, “We have grown to the point where we are able to expand our brand allowing us to reach a broader target market in our industry.”
With new artists, new collaborations, new product lines, new board shapes, and more, this “upgrade” is going to bring a breath of fresh air to the brand. “There will be a whole new line of skate graphics, clothing, and more that I am beyond excited to be a part of orchestrating and designing. I can’t wait to see this company continue to grow and gain the recognition and respect it deserves!” says Jacquelyn Purvis, Visual & Creative Director.

A friendly reminder to check out our events calendar to see all the summer fun we are having at various skateboarding events around the planet. Also, our skater David Kahn is out at Woodward right now. Ryan Strader will be skating at X-games in LA.
We were pretty stoked to head up to Anaheim for the Skateboarding Hall of Fame and Icon Awards show, which was conveniently near the Vans Skatepark. 2012 inductees included Dogtown/zboys Jay Adams and Peggy Oki, photographer Glenn Friedman, punk band Black Flag, skater Danny Brewster, designer John Humphrey and Frank from Cadillac wheels. The crowd was full of skateboarding industry veterans, pro skaters, companies, fans, etc. VIP ticket prices were $100 each, which got us a table up front and some Wahoo’s dinner. In true skateboarding fashion, people were interrupted on the mic by people yelling something stupidly funny or just annoyingly stupid, Jay Adams left before receiving his award, etc. A highlight for me was meeting Chuck Dekowski of the legendary punk band BLACK FLAG, one of the greats with lead singer Henry Rollins whom I’ve also met a few times over the years. Skaters in the room included Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, Eddie Elguero, Steve Olsen and many more. Industry friends included Steven Van Doren, George Powell, Dale Smith, Schmiddy, Michael Brooks, Doog and many more. The auctions items were incredibly lame and I don’t really think much money was raised as a result. With all those powerful industry players in the room, a much better job could have been done. Oh well, at least some $ was raised! This week was also a part of the IASC International Association of Skateboarding Companies yearly retreat in combination with the Vans ProTech Pool Party.
March 31th, 4-8:00pm, Cream City Skate Park in Butler, Wisconsin
Event Description:
Milwaukee’s first professional skateboard competition. Skaters from all over the country will come to show off their skills, in hopes, to win the first place trophy! The skaters would shred to the best music provided by DJ Cut up!
Funding:
Event was sponsored Toyota Scion and promoted by Aziz Promotions.
Event follow-up:
Over 15 skaters attended this competition which was well under the estimated 100 skaters that the event predicted. Initially, the event was to be held at the US Cellular Arena located in downtown Milwaukee. However, due the over estimation of ticket sales and participants, the event was moved to a significantly smaller venue. Overall, the event would have brought in more people if the promoters would have enlisted more marketing tactics and were better organized. Nonetheless, new events are always a gamble so we hope next years event can pull it together. We sent 2 of our Midwest interns over from Wisconsin and Illinois.
People began to show up at about 3:30 to pick up tickets and stand in line for the doors to open. As they did and were looking for VIP passes, the promoter was nowhere to be found, which is never good. He, also, was not reachable via cell phone. The event was to begin at 4pm yet, it did not being until 5:15. Greg Lutzka MC’d the event, as well as participating in some of the runs with the competing skaters. Greg is always a great guy!
The competition consisted of 15 skaters completing runs two at a time while the judges scored their tricks based on style and difficulty. It was divided into three sessions that lasted 20 minutes each.
Bam Margera entered the facility at 6pm and began to sign skateboards and take pictures. We were able to get through the line, get our pictures and boards signed in less than 5 minutes. We like Bam and all the Jackass stars but Bam seemed a little out of it – we hope all is well with him.
Team riders Ryan Strader and Mikee Brown competed at the PHOENIX am showing you all how it’s done on a bamboo skateboard from BambooSK8. Ryan took 12th place!!! Check out all the amateur contest action at www.phxam.com. Learn more at www.bamboosk8.com/team
Come check out Tony Hawk, PLG, Andy Macdonald, Bucky Lasek, Austin Poynter and other great skaters tearing it up at the YMCA for the 6th annual Clash event benefitting Grind for Life and the YMCA.
We are excited to launch new sweatshirts and beanies. Action sports enthusiasts will enjoy the sleek fit of the beanie and the comfortable sweatshirt with BAMBOOSK8 on the front and the logo on the back.
BambooSK8 was excited to attend this years award show – congrats to all the winners.
Hollywood, CA –TransWorld SKATEboarding justannounced this year’s TWS Award recipients tonight in Southern California as skateboarding stars came out in force and packed out the Avalon Hollywood. Veteran emcees Brian Schaefer and Lizard King presided over the biggest night in skateboarding as the best skaters of 2011 took to the stage to receive their coveted awards.
Starting out the night, former pro and longtime industry leader Don Brown accepted this year’s Eric Stricker Memorial Award for his continual contribution to the skateboarding industry for over twenty years.
Next up, Best Rookie, went to Sk8mafia’s Wes Kremer–dropping two epic video parts and landing a TransWorld SKATEboarding cover in 2011– the award couldn’t have gone to a better rookie pro. With a spontaneous skate style reminiscent of Tom Penny, and the best attitude around, this guy continues to spill out talent for days.
Best Video Part went to Nyjah Huston for his mind-blowing Rise & Shine solo part, released on iTunes 11.11.11. Nyjah truly raised the bar this year with his enormous handrails, technical rail skating, and cheating death with some seriously heavy slams.
Nike SB’s SB Chronicles, Vol. 1 took home Best Video. With an eclectic mix of skaters from Wieger Van Wageningen to Grant Taylor, and Jason Hernandez’ high production value, this video hands down couldn’t be beat.
Best Team was a no brainer as Real proved themselves with their huge stack of incredible talent this year, putting out a five-year-in-the-making video in 2011, and Dennis Busenitz winning the Tampa Pro.
Grant Taylor won Best Transition for the second time in his career (first time in 2010). Jason Dill said it best, “Grant is the greatest skater on the face of the Earth right now.”
Accepting his second award of the night, Nyjah Huston got up on stage again, this time to receive the honors of Best Street Skater. With two TransWorld covers and multiple interviews in the magazine, in addition to his amazing part in Rise & Shine, Nyjah’s year was undeniable.
As if two awards for the night wasn’t enough, Nyjah Huston brought his tally to three with the acceptance of the only award not chosen by the TWS staff, but rather by the readers of the magazine and skateboarding.com– the New Era Readers’ Choice Award. Three awards in one night has only ever happened to one other skater, Guy Mariano, who back in 2008, also won in the exact same three categories.
Directly following the awards, the films began, starting out with TransWorld‘s 2012 Skate & Create video winner: Skate Wars by Creature. Before TWS’ The Cinematographer Project film would take over, Ohio native Dan Mizicko premiered his winning entry, Skate Harvest. The crowd was blown away as A-list pros and full-length parts rolled out as TWS’ legendary filmmaker Jon Holland showcased thirteen of the best filmmakers in skateboarding in the latest TransWorld SKATEboarding film, The Cinematographer Project. The film included over an hour of top skating and filming from the industry’s best. When all was said and done, this was the biggest and best Awards night yet. Congratulations to all the winners!
Check out more updates, photos, and video footage from the amazing show at skateboarding.com. The 14th Annual TransWorld SKATEboarding Awards Presented By New Era is proud to be supported by additional sponsors, including Red Bull, KRÜ 82 Vodka, and Aerial 7.

BambooSk8 was proud to help out for the 4th straight year by donating goods and $ donation to the Standup for Skateparks charity event in Beverly Hills at billionaire Ron Burkle’s green acres estate. I know, you are all asking – who the hell is Ron Burkle? If you ever shopped at Ralph’s food stores, then there’s one connection. How about owning a piece of the Pittsburgh Penguins or owning 20% of Barnes and Noble; there’s more! Anyhow, lucky for Tony Hawk that Ron provides his humble abode to let Tony invite 850 guests at a price of $400 donation each to mingle with celebrities (if you are lucky or brave) like actor Mark Wahlberg or mega producer Jon Favreau or UFC champion Chuck Lidell or rockstar Perry Farrel of Janes Addiction, watch some live music by the Black Keys (yet, literally 20 feet in front of you on a tiny little stage), watch some amazing skating on the vert ramp (amazing that they are allowed to bring the massive ramp and tear up Ron’s yard) with Shaun White, Tony Hawk, Mitchie Brusco, Bucky Lasek, as well as bmx freestyle by Matt Hoffman, get a ton of free shit from a variety of vendors (t-mobile, art of board, dub, nixon, birdhouse, pinks, wahoo’s, best buy, etc.), chat with pro skaters like Mike Vallely, Jamie Thomas, Kevin Stab, etc., and a ton more…. The live auctions this year were off the hook with autographed guitars by Pearl Jam, Taylor Swift, Rancid, Janes Addiction and the coolest one that Geoff bid on and won = the 1950′s Fender Telecaster toured with and autographed by all members of Green Day. Other auction items included a tricked out Ford Explorer that went for over $40k, a customized triumph motorcycle by Roland Sands that went for $30k, a ton of autographed pro skateboards (paul rodriguez, nyjay houston, ryan scheckler and shaun white) completely framed by sk8ology, as well as the opportunity to get your own pro skateboard made by Tony Hawk’s team for $250. Our BambooSK8 skate board autographed by the band CHERRI BOMB on Hollywood Records went for $70 the last bid we saw, but hopefully more. Needless to say, despite the down economy, things were looking up for charity this year as people reached deep into their pockets. We can all feel good about helping to get skateparks built in low income, at-risk neighborhoods throughout this great country of ours. The foundation has helped 405 parks get build already in 49 states; Connecticut is the only one remaining.
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! - our friend Ron
On 4/22/11, we were featured on CW6 morning news in San Diego to promote skateboarding and sustainability per Earth Week festivities. BambooSK8 promoted their bamboo skateboards and longboards while Jeff Wright and Nick Sauls tore things up in the background.
We will be speaking at the local High Tech High School in San Marcos on Thursday to about 150 students. Goal will be to educate them on sustainability, economics of being green and skateboarding culture. We love to give back to the community and educating young kids holds a special place in our heart. Education is vital…

BambooSK8′s Jeff Wright performs his amazing new trick the “Wright Air” at the ASR Action Sports Retail show in San Diego. How’s that for a skateboarding trick of the day?
We read this interesting article today in Transworld business which raises a lot of questions about where skateboarding is going in the future as well as to where it is at right now. We invite each of you to please contribute a comment so that your voice is heard; this is your industry – speak freely! We have already left our comment…
New venice beach skate park was happening on Saturday with tons of skaters and fans coming out to see a lot of the old school pros tear up the bowl. It was so crowded, which is often the case as every local kid wants to be a part of the experience and there just isn’t enough room. Reality is, this thing is 16,000 sq. foot + and it is right on the beach, which is so rad to skate and look at the ocean. I was expecting a big hoopla of tents and more pro skaters but it was really low key for the most part – taking all the “commercialism” out of it and just focusing on the skating.
Officially named the Dennis “Polar Bear” Agnew Memorial Skatepark (one of the original Dogtown skaters), the design mimics Dogtown’s world of empty swimming pools and urban landscape that gave rise in the importance of modern skateboarding as a sport and culture. A big thanks goes out to Jessie Martinez and Geri Lewis and others at the VSA who made it all happen… I know the kids will enjoy this for many years to come!
While we are at ASR, we ran into my old pal Preston who use to skate for me over at Grind King a while back… anyhow, my boy has a new show out that we want to help promote because we will be featured on it in the fall.
PUSH, hosted by Preston Pollard and co-host Stephany Rose, is an inspirational and entertaining new show with a truly cutting edge of culture, music, ministry, and extreme sports, including skateboarding, BMX, and motocross.
This Christian based show will showcase some of the biggest names in the professional skateboarding industry, such as Jeremy Rogers and Greg Lutzka, as well as feature the hottest artists that make up the popular Contemporary and Rock Community.
PUSH will revolutionize the extreme sports scene. Through “a day in the life” with the most popular pro figures, PUSH will give youth the opportunity to spend time with their role models, providing them the direction and inspiration needed to pursue dreams and use extreme sports as a healthy outlet. Giving back to the community, the PUSH crew will be giving presentations at middle schools and high schools, and be providing selected students with the tools needed to break into the skate or BMX scene, such as boards, bikes, helmets and overall inspiration.
The show will demonstrate how dedicated and passionate the featured skaters and bikers are about their sport and their art, and they will extend their stories, inspirations and steps for success to youth through a school involvement program. PUSH will provide viewers with the positive messaging that we all have a God given potential for greatness, and no matter the limit always PUSH for success.
Premiering Winter 2009, PUSH will air weekly to an audience of 10 million people worldwide on TBN/JCTV. Additionally, the show will air on DirecTV and Dish Network throughout Southern California.
