2/19/2015
I wish we could show you the full uncensored version, but we had to scale it back to plain old PG-13. Thanks to everyone that stopped to have a chat with Tim about everything from this super fun skateboard shindig to who is looking for a girlfriend on Valentine's Day.

What is a Skateboarder? Rodney Mullen, Tech Industry, and Innoskate
1/29/2015
This one hit fairly close to home for me. I've been both a computer and skateboard nerd my whole life. Recently, Rodney Mullen has immersed himself in the world of Linux, a computer operating system made by this dude Linus who I would imagine now can kickflip like everyone else. Anyway, Rodney was recently written about in this Wired article where he goes on about the similarities between banging your head on a computer keyboard like I do all day and perfecting skateboarding stunts.

12/19/2014
We're putting all the individual match ups for the later rounds in the industry game of SKATE we had here at The Boardr. We called it BINGO at The Boardr where letters worked opposite from SKATE, so the first old guy with BINGO wins.
The Boardr Live 2014 Stats: 4,000+ Skateboarder Profiles
12/19/2014
The Boardr Live is our live and instant scoring software that is used at most of the skateboarding events we run. Zumiez, Vans, adidas, Cowtown, and other friends in the industry also use it to make their events run smooth and integrate with live TV and web broadcasts. I dove into the numbers to get some end of the year stats on the 4,000+ skater profiles that were created and/or updated. We've got pros, ams, and "former pros" in our database which throws the pro/am percentage total off a bit, FYI.
BINGO at The Boardr, The Dekline Premiere, and Tampa's Big Weekend
12/13/2014
While much of the industry is in town, we had a few things of our own going on including an industry game of SKATE we called BINGO at The Boardr. We also showed the Dekline True Blue video and watched some of Tampa Am, too. I've got a few photos from all that and HiDefJoe has the video recap.

A Recap of Tonight's Frontside Grind Tuesday

When it's a 30+ session, you get some far out stunts coming through. This is just a small sample. Thanks to everyone that came through for this month's Frontside Grind Tuesdays.

Ripping Skateboarding and Hip Hop at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival
11/13/2014
The Boardr crew had the pleasure of working with Tyler the Creator and Vans Syndicate to run a skateboard shindig right alongside the Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. We saw ripping skateboarding and equally shredding hip hop shows from Action Bronson who threw half a pound into the crowd to Rick Ross whose boys let us chill on stage behind him as he performed. Damn, what a Saturday.
Upcoming Events in Tampa with The Boardr
11/5/2014
We've got one more upcoming event this weekend outside of Tampa where Tyler and the Golf Wang crew have hired The Boardr to run an invite only skateboarding contest while the 3rd Annual Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival goes down right next to us. There's an open best trick portion to it, too, so bring your board if you have a ticket. Pharrell, Tyler, Ricky Rosay, Mr. Fisherman, Earl and more are performing. I'm a fan of the entire spectrum of hip hop from party rap to the intellectual tunes, so I'm especially excited on this one. After that, it's all Tampa. Here's the list of things coming soon with The Boardr. Thanks for being a part of what we're doing in skateboarding.

Grind for Life Bradenton Photos, Video, and Results
10/14/2014
I still can't believe that we have skateboarders from 6-years-old to 53-years-old skating all day in these events. We saw the sun come up on one side of the skatepark and saw it set on the other side as 150+ entries went through in all those divisions.
