We're inviting you over for a Saturday session on our new mini-ramp at The Boardr Headquarters, 4611 North Hale Avenue in Tampa. While all that's going on, we've got the Southbound and Down shindig going on, too. Free PBR and more will be had along with some good times and ripping two wheeled transportation to scope. I hope to see you here. Check out a few construction photos.

Thank you again, trees.
One day, I'll learn all the tool names. Need to do the same for all the invert names, too.
Getting there.
Automatic hole makers.
If this was a vert ramp, we could stop right here with just the flat.

We are making slow, calculated moves to fill this place now that we're back at home and can spend some time on it.
Friday morning is the last steps of clean up.
And there it is, waiting for the first drop in and HiDefJoe to document it. I hope to see you rolling back and forth with us here.

I've got a few more construction photos and an exciting announcement. We have a toilet!!! An epic milestone at The Boardr Headquarters. It's just a week away before we flip the switch on our little online shop that could. As I've mentioned, we're starting out small and growing slow.
Construction Progress at The Boardr Headquarters

Before we can build the skate stuff, we have to get the bill paying stuff done. That would be retail and office space. I can't wait to get started back in retail and customer service again. We'll be open for online orders in just a few weeks!
Another Milestone at The Boardr: TF Construction Begins
4/30/2014
Now that we've got some time to stop and breathe from having one big event behind us (NYC) and another one just about complete (Vegas), we can finally start dedicating some attention to the homefront. Yep, it's another baby milestone for us here at The Boardr. Today starts construction on our TF! We're going slow and calculated as usual with this project, too. I don't know my physical construction tools very well, but I do know there are some things in this photo that indicate concrete. Damnnnn, it's on. Feels like we're finally getting furniture in an empty home. Right now all I have for you is this one single photo.

Everyone's on manual labor while I'm on digital labor. We're trying to get the basics set up for online retail doors opening up on February 1. I have a few more photos dumped from my camera here for you. Thanks for following along with our adventure to build something in skateboarding from the ground up.

An Official Bid'niss Milestone for The Boardr
11/19/2013
It's been a fun few months of building a company from scratch. Today, we set an accounting formality and officially started The Boardr payroll. The first four employees are Ryan Clements, Jorge Angel aka Porpe, Bob Freeman, and Rob Meronek behind the lens here. I wonder how long this is going to last? I would guess 2013 to infinity. Thank you for the support, thanks skateboarding for everything else, and here's to 2014! That other document Ryan is holding is another piece of important sentiment for us that I'll address in another post. I just wanted to have it in this memorable photo and early milestone.
Another Milestone: We Shipped Our First Little Stack of Orders Today
2/4/2014
Inventory's in and stuff's online now. We ended our first weekend of being digitally open with a few orders for The Boardr T Shirt and some other random stuff. It was a memorable day for us. I'm just documenting it with a few quick snaps. This milestone seems like it has caused the work to just get started. Good thing it's mostly skateboarding work because that's a pretty good time. If your name was in that pile, thanks for the support.

A couple things happened this week that made it seem that much more real with all this skateboard bid'niss building we're doing around here. We got our first order of retail inventory in and our first online registration dollar hit the account.
