More SKULLS!!!!

uptown — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:26:53 +0000

Yeah we’ve been blowing it on posting up new stuff. It’s been busy, blah blah blah. Well we’re fully stocked on cruiser, long, short, hover, etc boards, and everything needed to roll around on a piece of wood. Or Bamboo!
Instead of showing you pictures of all that stuff, I’m going to show you my new board. It’s a limited Michael Sieben Creature deck, called More Skulls. I wasn’t too psyched on the pointy nose, and I didn’t have a jig saw here today, so I got crafty.

Tool of necessity, the “Olfa” knife.

Cut through as many layers as I could, then

Got a little more barbaric than crafty, and snapped that sucker off.

Jessup sand paper

Little bit of clear coat to finish it off nice, and

Voila!

Some old-ish Indys, and the Neil Blender OJs suit it really well. Dale and Greg have been ripping these, so we’ll see.

MORE SKULLS!!!!

Last night we held the MM Benefit Auction andthe Pro Skates deck release of the summer at Uptown on Quinpool Rd. We just want to say a huge thank-you to everyone who came out to show their support and placed bids towards MM. The evening started off with Lobster, sausages and veggie dogs on the BBQ, potato salad, veggies, lobster rolls and more goodies lining the tables outside. The fooseball table and tunes were playing, and the inside tables were lined with wicked items up for auction! The turn out was great and we were so happy to see all your faces. Everyone seemed to have a great time; between 6pm-9pm there was lots of talking, beer drinking and bid placing.

There was lots of items from so many of our generous reps; WeSC jeans, headphones and shirts, a Burton mens jacket, an Element Plaid jacket, Sitka mens and womens packages, Billabong goodies, a Home Grown Deck, a complete longboard and even a DC deck that was signed BY THE WHOLE TEAM! The bidding tables were over flowing with kindness and support from all over Canada.

The New Pro Skates deck of the summer “The Cape Islander” was a also in the spotlight. Our very own Greg Boudreau same up with that one ladies and gents. He stayed with the nautical theme from the last deck “The Salty Seamen” and it looks great. If you couldn’t get yours last night, don’t sweat… there are plenty to go around in lots of sizes! Get yours from Uptown or Downtown, whichever suits your fancy for only $49 bucks including grip!

So for anyone who missed out, here are some photos so you can feel like you were there.

Thanks again to all our reps, friends and family that were there helping out, placing bids and donating to help out a member of our Pro Skates family.
