For those of you who arent following us on facebook or twitter, Lew and Native Nik just spent a few days in San Diego while Matt and Mike Marrone started a FickleBoards ramp build for the kids of Hamilton, OH.
Nik and Lew were accompanied by Ryan, Nik's ex-marine brother. He was quickly dubbed "hired muscle", "el musculo", and finally "Peace Pipe".
So Old Lew, Native Nik, and "Peace Pipe" brought the beard and a bag of boards to Jamie Thomas' "for the core" Crossroads Trade Show.
It was raaad as heck to see the likes of greco, navs, mic e reyes, walking around looking cool as hell, but the highlight of fanning came to us in the form of Patrick Melcher's enthusiasm for Lew's membership in Beard Team USA. Please send a donation to send Lew to Oslo with Patrick to represent not only this fine country, but heart-level skateboarding.
When Lew and Melcher embraced in manly affection, the two beards literally reached out to one another in what could only have been an earthly parallel to the Pandoran neurological joining on that one 3D flick that came out recently... even the stiffly waxed curves of Melch's 'stache straightened a little... our beards may just possibly be in love.
Ritchie Jackson stood by, looking on with an obvious respect for what was transpiring between our facial hairs.
Seriously, those guys represent a lot of what ccwave and Fickleboards are about-- unleashing an unapologetically creative and fun approach to the love of motion in skateboarding.
Props to michael brooke of Concrete Wave for spotting something in Fickleboards that fit the oddity crew at the ccwave booth. There were longboards, hand painted stuff, bamboo stuff, electric skateboards, massively engineered downhilling stuff, plastic tipped boards, and everyone that stopped by had a BLAST. You should have seen Mic-e Reyes from Deluxe (thanks for the coffee) zooming around the show on the Altered Skateboards electric skateboard! What a smash hit!
FickleBoards cannot express enough support and appreciation for the work of Michael Brook and Concrete Wave.
