Southbound and Down: Photos and an On The Boardr Episode
10/14/2014
Finally, we were in town to have our first event at The Boardr Headquarters after a super busy summer and fall of events in everyone else's backyard. I've got a few photos and Joe has an episode of On The Boardr from what turned out to be a super chill and fun day of bikes, skateboarding, a little booze, and a lot of friends meeting a lot of other friends as these worlds of four wheels and two wheels spent an entire day together. I hope you were here!

How Nyjah Huston Lost to Nassim Guammaz in South Africa
10/9/2014
Half way through the 3 minute jam, you could hear the crowd getting more and more live as it became apparent that Nassim had a chance of beating Nyjah in their first head to head bracket. Then the crowd started chanting for Nassim. After the last minute of the jam with both skaters getting in their bangers, it was Nassim on top by just 1.33 points to advance. When it was announced, the crowd went nuts. Nyjah smiled and congratulated Nassim for knocking him out of the brackets. In the end, Kelvin who didn't have to skate against Nyjah because of that, ended up winning the $100k. The tricks here are just a small sample of what went down. HiDefJoe is only one person filming these two rippers.

On The Boardr: The Finals in South Africa and Photos from the Week
10/6/2014
That crowd reaction when Nassim edged out Nyjah in the second round by just a few points was insane. They almost brought all the tents down. Here's the recap of the ripping in the Finals of the Skateboarding World Championships at Kimberley Diamond Cup in a new episode of On The Boardr. I've also got a camera dump below.

Porpe and I were up here sweating bullets as the last few Jams' scores came in and Jereme was hanging on the bubble of the cut the whole time. He made it! Tomorrow he's matched up against Tyson Bowerbank in the head to head battles for the Finals.

Arrival in South Africa for Kimberley Diamond Cup

The crew of Boardr Boys took 16 hour flights and other puddle jumpers to get to Kimberley, South Africa where before getting to work on running this skateboarding shindig, we went on a lion petting and feeding mission. It's Scotty the Body's first time in the motherland where you'll find him on the mic all weekend entertaining with Tim O'Connor.

One week from tomorrow on Saturday the 27th at The Boardr HQ is a melting pot of motorcycles, skateboarding, and damn good times starting at noon. Our mini-ramp will be done where a jam will go down at 3pm after free PBR starts flowing at 2pm. At 5pm is a garage built chopper show. Most of the staff here at The Boardr rolls on two wheels when we're not on four, so this is one we're super excited about. I hope to see you here.

A Few Minutes of Copenhagen Bowl 2014
9/2/2014
I had my cell phone out the whole time we were witnessing the ripping skateboarding going down in Copenhagen all week. The chill time is documented, too.
Copenhagen Just Had the Best Vert Session That Ever Happened
8/31/2014
After things got rained out on Sunday, we moved it all over to Copenhagen Skatepark and added a Vert Jam along with a tight squeeze for the crowd into the bowl there. Then followed the usual after-party until 6am. HiDefJoe's got a video recap and I've got a weekend camera dump below.
Copenhagen Bowl 2014: Rain in the Pool
8/30/2014
The only thing unmellow about the Pool Contest yesterday was the serious ripping going down. At 2pm when the Contest was supposed to start, neither skaters or crowd were on site. Then around 3pm, they all descended in mellow troves, Tuborgs and spliffs in hand. We made it through some Jams before the rain turned it into a big chillfest under the trees. Check out more photos from Neal Hendrix and HiDefJoe's video recap in another episode of On The Boardr.
Copenhagen Bowl 2014 Begins
8/28/2014
The first of four ripping days of bowl skateboarding and friendly faces here in Copenhagen is a wrap. Neal Hendrix is behind the shutter and HiDefJoe is on it for the video. They've got photos and an episode of On The Boardr to make you feel like you where right here with us if you aren't able to make it here. Today when we walked into this BMX bowl, we weren't sure what would be going down in there. It wasn't long before Raven Tershy, Ronnie Sandoval, Greyson Fletcher, and more were dropping jaws in that thing.
Travel Makes You Rich, Skateboarding Makes You Happy. Do Both Here...
8/21/2014
What's the number one excuse not to travel? At least when you're young, it always seems to be 'I'm broke.' Traveling broke makes you rich in life experience that no economic downturn can ever take away. One way to spice up a trip and increase your chances of having a floor to sleep on with new friends is to base it around a good old fashioned skateboard shindig. It just so happens that we've got a few good international gatherings of skateboard rippers coming up in Canada, Denmark, South Africa, and yes, America! Check these out along with some suggestions on how to get there.
#PorpeLife at Dew Tour Portland
8/17/2014
The Streetstyle Contest at Dew Tour Portland looks insane in person. Then when you see people like Raven and Sheckler skate the stuff, it's even more nuts. We could relocate The Boardr offices to Portland. This city too good. We've got photos and video from the whole weekend here.
CPH Bowl: August 28 - 31 in Copenhagen, Denmark
