Columbia SC quick sesh

Just wanna say that the quick sesh we had at Owens Field Park in Columbia SC was pretty epic. sweet park. saweet.

Hey. Just get out there and skate! Do a one footer or a three flip, or carve a gnarly line down a hill.

We slept in a walmart parking lot last time we were here in Columbia SC. It was a great time. We will keep coming back for sure.

get over...

get over to sunshine's blog for some pics leaking from our trip south. the ones up today are from the Beaufort Park. That's hella close to Parris Island Marine Corps training place...

We put down our own style of american pride on the park there. we skated and destroyed.

Big hearty welcomes to our new friend adn co rider forrest Hagedorn. Forest ruled at life on the road and stacked up "NBD's" and "Raybourn did that's", along with Josh Viles.

Big props to Raybourn, Viles, and our dear Forrest. Keep checking back over the next month for trickles...

Slammin Savannah!!!

Well, Big ups to the Woody's Crew, Big Joe B, and all the heads great and small who make Savannah, GA a second home to the Fickle Crew.

We bedded down on the floor for days and days and just dug in and mined tricks, pics and clips with the good people of Woody's and Beaufort... Sick Sick miniramp out there in Beaufort.

So now we're slamming down the road to Cincinnati, via Columbia SC's sweet concrete park, and Knoxville TN's epic wonderland. We should arrive home tomorrow around 2pm, after sleeping off a bit of crust at the Viles' house...

hey, Fickle Boards doesn'tjust make their own stuff. They come and eat your food and stay so long you feel like they are family. Let's rack up some more time together soon, SAV!

Quick Update...

All I'm saying is it's BTTW all day out here in SAV.

We had an amazing time at the Doghouse Ramp in the ATL area, a great visit to Stratosphere, A nice drive to SAV, and today we're going to skate Woody's until 3pm, when we're heading out to meet up with Big Joe B at a park... Buford? Yeah. Tomorrow's Bluffton... I think.

Heads slept in mass today while Ben and I wiled away the morning with Fabio and Native Nik, got starbucks and provisions... Now we're headed out, if we can get forrest out of his sleeping bag.

we are skateboarders.

Day 1... Juggernauting

the fickle juggernaut is released

We picked up Forrest (you're gonna love Forrest) in NKY and hit the little spot park at Berea KY for a quick leg-stretch sesh. Then we piled up in the van and motored the rest of the way to finish the night at Tyson Park in Knoxville, TN.

Taco Bell
Then overnight at Josh Viles' house.

Many props to the Viles Family for loving us all and feeding us dessert for breakfast.
Props to the homies in Berea, KY. The secret is that that little spot park is pretty tight... WE will return many times to stretch out there...

We will be on the road for the next 7 days, so check back soon.

Go Thirty.

Oh, and it's 70 degrees.

Fickle is on the way South, Feb 20 through Mar 1

We're hitting the road for 9 days, again! we're all about kickin back and friendships. This is how we knit it up tight before we have a lot of demos and a tighter schedule...

This is how we keep from losing perspective. And this is how we'll keep doing it. Shops can get us to show up, throw down hard and leave the locals stoked, for as little as a place to camp and a little gas money to get to the next place. Break even is the new striking it rich.

Kids, go thirty.

News Update #40ten

News News News

things are moving at light-speed here at Fickle HQ.

Molds are being hand-carved.
Concaves are being custom-made.

Everything is done old-school, with hand tools and mechanical simplicity.
Chisels, Sanding, Screw Jacks and Torque-wrenches...

It's all done by hand and old-style.

Prototypes will trickle out in March... Maybe if you're lucky one will find you.

The first boards will hit select shops in April or May.

Old Lew is off to Cali for a week. Catch a tweet here or there.

Photostream!

Check out the right side bar there and look at our photostream on Flickr! We've been piling up so many pics that we ended up just starting to dump them in a Flickr account. Over the next few weeks, we'll be dumping them there daily, so check out new pics regularly.

This is all the early history of a group of skaters who have decided to hand-make the boards we sell. We are pushing for "Fickle" to mean "faithful to the core". We are devoting out efforts to make skateboards and skateboarding come together in a way that flat out STOKES you.

We are pushing to stoke any and everyone on skateboarding, because we think skateboarding is one of the top ten best things on this planet for you to be doing. Period. Seriously.

So go Thirty!
