The Red Bull Rivals was a smashing success last Saturday.  Here's a quick recap of Seattle's skating put together by Ian Bugbee.  Stay tuned for more coverage that will include the Portland skating also.  We'll let you decide later who you think should have won but Washington definitely brought home a fat trophy for first place and we got a thousand bucks toward Marginal Way!  Check out Ian's video here.  RED BULL RIVALS

AFTER NEARLY 2 MONTHS I, "MARSHALL" FINALLY HAVE ACCESS TO A WORKING MAC.  SORRY FOR SLACKING ON THE UPDATES BUT I'M PC ILLITERATE AND MY MAC CRASHED TWICE IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS!  STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES FROM YOURS TRULY.  THANKS TO JOHN AND ERIC FOR KEEPING THE NEWS WINDOW DREAM ALIVE.  

The homies at Black Sheep Skate Shop out of North Carolina put up some photos from our newest line on their site. Check it out at blacksheepnc.com

 First off hopefully this will be the last upload with this showcase, refreshing the page 24 times as you look through the photos.  Sorry about that.  Our new site is almost done and it's going to be a nice change.  The store on this one will work too so get ready for all the cool exclusive things we have in store.  Been holding these ideas for years literally.  

So we put in a mini ramp at the Manik office a little while ago.  This showcase is just the entire package through building, taking a road trip to Oregon to pick up the pool coping and a few from a number of Bar B Que skate days we have had.  Good friends, good skating and just having fun is what it's all about.  The ramp has been a much needed addition.

It took a bit longer to post due to the fact for the first time ever I deleted all the photos off my camera.  Although I've never done it I managed to due it twice in the last month too.  So sorry Josh Mohs, Bryce, Jake, Seth Goler, Ethan, Micah and everyone one else.  Lost some good ones.

Last thanks to Dan Eiler for all the help you put in.  You have always been around to help with the dirty work and we really appreciate that.
